I picked up those other CDJs and now I have four at home. So naturally I started mixing with three at a time.

It's a completely different thing. Two decks, you're blending tracks back and forth and there's downtime between transitions. Three decks, you're prepping the next track while the other two are still mixing. Which means you can move way faster. One mix finishes and the next one is already loaded and ready to go.

It's fun and it's frustrating at the same time. I mess up constantly. But when you get a rhythm going and the transitions are coming one after another without stopping, it feels completely different from two decks.

Still working on it. Definitely not ready to do this live yet. But that's the whole point.

Anyone else out there mixing on three? Tell me your setup.

Your kids are sharing a bedroom. One wants the light on. The other wants it off. One has friends over. The other has nowhere to go. Their stuff is everywhere because there's nowhere to put it.

You feel it every time you walk past their room. You know they need their own space. But moving feels like a lot. So you keep saying "maybe next year."

Every family that finally made the move says the same thing. "We should have done this sooner."

Your kids won't be small forever. The years you have with them at home go fast.

She'd been sleeping on the couch three nights a week so her daughter could have the bedroom. The dining room had a curtain down the middle. That was the "second bedroom."

She was working from the kitchen counter with her laptop next to the toaster. Every Zoom call, she'd angle the camera so nobody could see the mess behind her.

She called us ready to sell. Then rates went up. The headlines got loud. Every article said the market was slowing down.

She called back and said she wanted to wait until the fall.

We sat down and looked at her situation. Every month she waited cost her money and comfort. The condo fees were going up. The space wasn't getting bigger. And her daughter was getting older.

She listed. We priced it right. It sold in 11 days with multiple offers.

She moved into a three-bedroom on the west side before the fall market even started.

The right time to move is when your life says it's time. Not when the headlines say it's okay.

A lot of condo and townhouse owners think their place will sell because the building is good or the neighbourhood is great. That helps, but it's not enough.

The listings that sit are usually missing the same things. Bad photos. Wrong price. No staging. The place looks exactly the way it does when you're living in it.

Buyers scroll past listings in under two seconds. If your first photo doesn't stop them, nothing else matters.

The condos and townhouses that sell fast are the ones priced based on what's actually closing, not what the owner hopes for. They're clean, staged, and shot by a professional.

If you're thinking about selling, get those three things right before you go to market. That's where most of the work happens.

Client: "We kind of like the kitchen."

Me internally: already picturing their kids running through the backyard and where they're putting the Christmas tree.

I know. I know. Don't get ahead of yourself. But after years of doing this, you pick up on the signs.

And when someone touches the kitchen counter like they already own it, it's over.

Do deals fall through? Yes. Have I learned my lesson? Also yes. Will I still get excited the next time a client says "I could see us here"? Absolutely.

We get more hyped for our clients than they do sometimes. Can't help it.

I spent years waiting to feel ready before I did anything. Ready to start a business. Ready to DJ in front of people. Ready to make a big decision.

Here's what I figured out. That feeling never shows up. You're never going to wake up one day and think, "Okay, now I'm ready." That's not how it works.

The people who do things aren't more prepared than you. They just got tired of waiting and started anyway.

I've started things scared. I've started things confused. I've started things where I had no idea what I was doing on day two. Most of them worked out. The ones that didn't taught me more than the ones I never tried.

If you're sitting on something right now waiting for the right moment, the right moment was yesterday. The second best one is today.

What's something you've been putting off because you don't feel ready yet?

Every listing needs two things: someone who knows how to make it look incredible and someone who knows how to price it, market it, and negotiate every dollar.

Carey walks into a house and sees potential nobody else sees. I walk in and see the numbers.

She doesn't ask what colour the throw pillows should be. I don't ask why she rearranged the entire living room in 20 minutes.

We stay in our lanes. That's why it works.

She brings the vibes. I bring the spreadsheet. Your home gets both.

By the time the photographer shows up, the real work is already done. Repairs, cleaning, painting, decluttering. All handled on a schedule we built weeks before.

The home should already be clean and photo-ready before we arrive. That's on the prep list we gave you weeks ago.

Morning of, Carey walks the home room by room doing a final check. She's looking at it through a buyer's eyes. Making sure the staging is right. Making sure every room photographs the way it should. She catches the small things that can throw off a shot.

Then the photographer comes in. Every shot is planned. Every angle matters.

Your first photo is your first impression. We treat it that way.
