Recently I had the pleasure of selling the home of some of the neatest clients. Usually I have a few suggestions prior to taking listing photos and before showings start, but they were on top of their game and nothing needed improving on. Prior to closing, I always emphasize leaving a house clean for the new owners, but they went above and beyond. Not only was their home spotless at the walk through, but they also left detailed lists of things to know about the house, the paint colors in each room, trash pick up days, and more. Look at that shine! This gives a whole new meaning to the term ..read more

Are you ready to purchase your first home but don’t know where to start? Here are six steps you should follow: 1) Determine budget - Figure out what you’re comfortable paying each month towards your mortgage.

They can tell you what you would estimate paying per month, and help you decide which type of loan is right for you. 3) Find a realtor! - Realtors help you through the entire negotiation pr ..read more

I recently read a great article by Dave Ramsey on the current housing market. Many of you are worried about the recession, the increasing house prices, and the fluctuating interest rates. News and social media aren’t doing anything to help many of your fears, and instead are encouraging us all to panic. However, what experts in the real estate market, as well as lenders and financial advisors can tell you, is that now is still a great time to buy. A lot of people are trying to wait until the “bubble bursts” or rates come down, but the price of houses is determined by supply and demand. Accord ..read more

Our two newest listings are very different but are sure to be exactly what one of you is looking for! If you are wanting a newer home tucked away in a pretty neighborhood, look no further than our listing at 1020 Groves Pass in Jacksonville. This home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths (the master has a “his and hers” bath so you can each have your own space when getting ready!), an open floor plan, and an unfinished bonus room! If an older room in a quiet country setting is what will make your heart skip a beat, then our listing at 2356 County Road 81 in Delta is the perfect home for you! Built ..read more

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and love is in the air! There is all kinds of love - with friends, family, children, significant others, pets….the list goes on and on. But what about for your home? I hope that you have found your dream home…or at least your “for right now” dream home, and that you absolutely love it. But if you haven’t, then let me help you do that. In the meantime, tell me what it is that you already love about your home, and what you would love to have if money wasn’t a concern. For me, I absolutely love a fireplace. Chilly mornings are so much better when you ca ..read more

I hope you took the time to watch my What’s Up Wednesday interviewing some sweet babes about Christmas, Santa, elves, and what presents they think they are getting. It’s always funny hearing their responses, because you never know what is coming next. They decided they most definitely were NOT on the naughty list, and that their moms either needed a break from them OR lots of coffee. This holiday season, I hope you soak up as much family time as you can, no matter what the word family means to you. No matter your beliefs or background, there is still plenty of joy to be found, and I hope that ..read more

Here in the South, the weather can go through every season in just one day. And just because it’s December, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to be cold. This weekend we will have highs in the low 70s, so while we have a random blast of warm, sunny weather, it would be the perfect time to knock out a few winterizing projects around your home (if you haven’t already!) Paint, caulk and seal exterior wood. Seal your masonry and hard surfaces. Check your drainage. Clean your gutters. Clean your chimney. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure that the exterior of your ..read more

Happy Thanksgiving friends! I wanted to take a minute to say how grateful I am for all of you. These past couple of years have been crazy to say the least. We have all faced hardships, we’ve struggled, we’ve experienced loss….but in the midst of all of that, we’ve found ways to make it through. We’ve found joy, through our community, through faith, through lending a helping hand. You have been some of the best clients - you’ve inspired me to work harder, to better myself, to value the time with my family even more than I already did. I’ve loved seeing you find your dream homes. Some of you ..read more
