Ever open your fridge ready to cook…
and realize the ingredients aren’t as fresh as you thought? 🥬

It’s happened to me — you plan a beautiful meal,
but when you finally get started, things have already lost their spark.

🏡 Real estate works the same way.
When a home hits the market at the wrong price, its “freshness” fades quickly.
Buyers scroll past it, engagement drops, and once it feels stale, it’s hard to regain momentum.

Fresh listings — like fresh ingredients — create interest and results.
Price it right from the start, and your home stays appealing, active,
and positioned to attract the right buyer.

❤️ Earlier this week, we took time to honour and remember those who served.
A reminder that timing — in life, in gratitude, and in real estate — truly matters.

Do you feel that shift in the air? The temperatures are dropping, but I still love these “in-between” days—cool enough for a clear head, but still perfect for getting outside and moving.

Physical activity and organized sports were always a major part of my youth. As a young adult, running and working out regularly kept me going. Organized sports were now a part of my kids lives and so I watched for the side lines. That life for many when you are raising a family. I got away from evn the running and workout routine during COVID, and it was hard to get back.

But I’m happy to say Alex and I have been back at it for over a year now. We started small, committing to just two days a week, and those small, consistent improvements are really starting to pay off. We can feel it…I’m feeling much stronger and more energized these days.

Health and wellness are truly vital, and you realize just how important that consistency is when you’re on the other side of fifty. It’s not about intensity; it’s about making movement a non-negotiable part of your week.

Over 50 can you relate? How are you staying active as we head into the colder months? I’d love to hear your routine!

22 years in this business — and I’m still learning what truly matters.
Here’s a reminder I needed this week… and maybe you do too.

I’ve always done my best to stay in touch with past clients.
But as the years go on and the database grows, it gets harder.
Not because I don’t care — but because time moves fast and business is full.

A few months ago, I ran into a client I hadn’t seen since their closing.
It was a tough transaction, and while I followed up early on,
I didn’t go back.

And they let me know they noticed.
They felt… forgotten.

I didn’t get defensive.
I got reflective.

Since then, I’ve made it a point to reconnect —
Even if it’s just stopping by.
Even if the deal had bumps.

Because the truth is:
People want to feel remembered.
Not just at the sale —
but after.

💬 If you’re in any service business — real estate, sales, or support —
don’t underestimate the power of circling back.
They’ll appreciate it more than you know.
Follow for more real-life reflections from the heart of real estate.

Ever step away from dinner for just a minute too long
and come back to find it burnt? 🔥

I’ve done it — answering one quick email,
taking one more call…
and suddenly, what could’ve been perfect is overdone.

🏡 The same thing happens in real estate.
Sellers wait too long to adjust,
and while they’re deciding, buyers move on.

By the time the price changes,
the market’s already shifted —
and now you’re chasing it downhill.

In both cooking and real estate,
timing is everything.
When your listing is fresh and priced right,
you stay in control.

📲 Thinking of selling before the holidays?
Let’s get your timing — and your strategy — just right.
