🎯 The secret to selling right now? Study your competition.

🎯 The secret to selling right now? Study your competition.

Every week with my motivated sellers, we take a close look at what’s selling in their marketplace:

✅ What’s listed right now?
✅ What went under contract?
✅ What actually sold?
✅ Most important: Why did the buyers choose that home over ours?

In today’s market, pricing isn’t a one-time decision — it’s a moving target. The more we study the competition, the faster we can make the right adjustments to attract the next buyer.

Because in this shifting market 👉 data wins.

🍽️ Foodie Friday: Comfort food at its finest!

 

🍽️ Foodie Friday: Comfort food at its finest!
Recently got together with some friends. They do such a great barbecue. The dinner a few weeks ago included the following:
🔥 Roasted pork shoulder
🥗 Freshly made slaw & garden salad
🍞 Homemade dinner rolls
🥘 Pork & beans — the perfect side

Sometimes it’s the simple meals that feel the most special — great food, good company, and a cozy vibe.
