I am always happy to chat about this topic and if you don’t know me–well, I am a straight shooter and “keep it real.” First things first–the title of this blog. “How to be a… Continue Reading

2019As a Broker, Realtor and home owner, I thought I would share a few quick tips about my experience on being a landlord. I will say, it certainly helps that I am in real estate, and started my career by doing leasing, but I try and educate all my clients on how to manage their… Continue Reading

2018HELLO FRIENDS! This is an email I sent out to all my past clients, but I thought I would share for those that aren’t past clients of mine (but maybe you own a home and will find this information valuable) Fortunately I believe all counties now let you informally protest online now, making life much… Continue Reading

2018While first impressions are certainly key (I read some crazy statistic about how people make an impression in the first .9 seconds of meeting someone) I am not talking about dating here (we’ll save that for another post) What I am referring to is…HOMES ya’ll…selling homes. “Staged homes sell faster.” You and I have both… Continue Reading

The projections are often on a National and Local level, with a focus in the real estate sector. I take notes during the presentation and like to share what I… Continue Reading
