Such a phenomenal Rookie Year for our new school. An amazing group of teachers, principal, PTA and families that made this new school such a welcoming environment for our kids to thrive. I couldn’t be happier with how the schools year went.

Happy Summer!

🇺🇸 MEMORIAL DAY Weekend 🇺🇸 SAVE for later. Here are some of my favorite spots and events happening around Dripping Springs this weekend.

memorial day weekend in drip 🇺🇸
honoring everyone who served this weekend — and also taking full advantage of the fact that drip pretty much rolls out the perfect long weekend lineup every year.

these are the spots we hit up on repeat:

dripping springs rodeo — fri/sat/sun. mutton busting alone is worth showing up for. local, family, the real thing.

dripping springs distillery — fri night ken hamilton, saturday bruised sinatra, monday all-day happy hour with 25% off for military & veterans. the pizza is genuinely good, the cocktails are better.

vista brewing — DSISD last day party friday with the AISD jazz band, todd deatherage duo saturday, livermore for sunday’s memorial day cookout. burgers under the live oaks is always a good time.

ghost note brewery — live music saturday 4–6.

mavericks at lucky arrow — fri & sat night, 5–8. dinner, drinks, low-key.

save this so you actually use it. follow along if you want more — i post these when i find good stuff.
happy memorial day weekend, friends.

This is one of my FAVORITE requests to make for my buyers and I’m always shocked when I get offers on my listings where buyers are asking for price reductions instead.
It matters who you hire and if your agent hasn’t talked to you about this, make sure you ask them!

Here’s the math: a $20K price reduction saves your buyer about $100/month at today’s rates. $20K in seller-paid points to buy down their rate? That same money can drop their monthly payment by $300–$500. SAME cost to you. Way more impact for them. And way more likely to get the deal to the closing table.

This is exactly what builders are doing every single day — 2-1 buydowns, permanent rate reductions, paying closing costs on top of it. It’s a huge reason their incentive packages feel so much more attractive than resale listings right now.

Plenty of buyers that don’t want new construction. They want the location, the character, the community. Your resale home already has all of that.

So if you’re listing this year, think like a builder. Offering a buy-down instead of (or alongside) a price reduction can be the difference between sitting on market and going under contract in days.

Ask your agent. If they shrug it off — that should tell you something.

Here’s the truth most sellers don’t hear…
A home doesn’t sell just because it’s “on MLS.” It needs a strategy. It needs marketing. It needs someone willing to be honest about what will actually move the needle.

What usually happens when a home gets listed without a plan?
It sits.
Then comes a price drop… and another…
And suddenly buyers think something is wrong with the house.
Most of the time, there isn’t. It just wasn’t positioned to stand out.

Your home has to show well and be priced right. It needs a plan. A thoughtful prep plan beats a “list it and hope for the best” approach every single time.

If you’re thinking about selling in 2025 or 2026, let’s talk early. The right strategy upfront saves you stress, time, and money on the back end.

DM CHAT and I’ll walk you through what actually works in today’s market.
