The Vance fam ❤️ Lucci didn’t fall down any flight of stairs this photoshoot, and between the two of them nursing 24/7 it’s amazing any pictures of their faces were captured 😂🫠 These are so special ❤️ Biggest thanks to 📸

For this particular sale, I worked with FIVE sellers - they were all joint owners of their father's home in Sherman Oaks - so communicating and coordinating Zoom calls to keep everyone in the loop was crucial. On top of that, they made the decision to sell right as the market was really transitioning and slowing down, so advising and educating them about pricing their home accurately was mission-critical. In the end, I ended up helping them sell the home for $1,403,000 -- $214,000 OVER LIST! I helped them find an all-cash buyer after ONE day on the market, and we closed within 30 days. Forever grateful for their trust and ecstatic about the results we achieved! 🙏🔥❣️

Behind the scenes of our first family photoshoot: Lucci woke up at 2:30 am and refused to go back to bed. Allen went and hung out with her until he passed out around 6 am. I scooped up Lucci and casually started making breakfast and drinking coffee...until I realized I hadn't finished the laundry last night and the outfit I wanted Lucci to wear was still soaking wet. 😒 In fact, ALL of her cutest clothes were soaking wet. I had given ZERO thought to what I would wear. I was still in my robe and Allen was still in bed when I realized I had miscalculated our travel time and we needed to leave in 10 minutes.🤪 We get to the park and all she wants to do is run around and explore and go wild. It was windy and I still don't really know how to style her super fine baby hair, so they just blew around in the wind. She rolled down a set of cold stone stairs and I both laughed and cursed Allen, as if it was his fault. In other words, it felt like a total s**tshow.

Then I saw the pics! They're beautiful. They're very US. Allen is handsome and Lucci has a knack for looking right into the camera and giving a huge smile. They're everything to me.

The mom thing is super humbling. Sometimes I get mad at myself for how things go, like, "Why didn't you lay out the outfits ahead of time?" or "Why didn't you get everyone ready on time?" or "You should have gotten there earlier so she could run around BEFORE pictures!" Honestly, at the end of the day, if we have food in our bellies, we've got somewhat clean clothes on, and we're safe and healthy, that's a big win. Perfectly curated matching outfits or organizing meal preps just isn't in the cards for me...right now.

A huge thank you to for connecting me with , the amazing photographer who took these pics. He did FREE mini-shoots for the entire month of November & it was a pleasure working with him. He killed it, even after our kid rolled down a flight of stairs and would not stop running around 😝

Who misses pics of my perfect fur babies?! 😂😂 My human baby really has taken the spotlight lately but I’m here to remind you to cuz you too can find perfectly adorable cute fur bebes from a shelter or a rescue like I did!! That was Julius‘ picture on the rescue website, and the second I saw it I knew he was my dog. They were five other families in line waiting to adopt him after he finished quarantine (he was found running the streets of Baja), and I was on a waiting list. But I knew that he was mine. I called every single day and one by one each family dropped off the list. I went down to San Diego to pick him up from the rescue at 7 AM on a Saturday morning nearly 8 or 9 years ago. He’s a magic creature, honestly. I don’t say that lightly, every single person who’s ever met him has felt strangely attracted to him.

That second pic is my little Niko bear, named after a sushi restaurant 😂 He actually chose us at an adoption fair hosted by the West Valley shelter. He pooped all over the house in the beginning and Allen kept wanting to give him away, but I don’t believe in that s**t and I knew he was meant to be in our family. Now he snuggles under the covers with Allen every single night and sleeps with his body pressed tightly against his 😂 All you need to know about Niko is the way he is posing in that picture. He’s a fierce little dude and the best road dog.

Wow 🥹 Made me tear up looking at these pics! Here’s all the moms I love so dear, who raised me, and showed me how to mother. And of course my sweet angel baby who I love more than anything in this universe and who has made my heart explode with love I didn’t even know was possible.

When COVID hit in 2020, millions of homeowners received forbearance under the CARES Act, allowing them to temporarily pause or reduce their mortgage payments. There were very few hoops to jump through for homeowners to qualify - for many, they simply told their servicer that they had a pandemic-related financial hardship and the loan went into forbearance.

Two years later, these slides illustrate what is happening with those homeowners who used those provisions of the CARE Act to pause their mortgage payments. It's a telling sign of the financial strength of homeowners today!
✨37% of the loans exiting forbearance programs were paid in full
✨44.6% of those loans were "work outs" (re-finances) or repayment plans

The reality is that even if homeowners are struggling to meet their mortgage payments today, there's a very (very) good chance that the value of their home skyrocketed over the past 18 months and they could put their home on the market and sell it instead of having the bank foreclose.

Some buyers were curious whether all of those loans would eventually foreclose, leading to another market crash, and possibly a hot buying opportunity. These numbers paint a totally different picture! If you were waiting to buy because you were expecting another huge downfall due to these COVID-era forbearances, it may be a good idea to reconsider that strategy.

Long gone are the days of sticking a sign in the front yard and calling that a "marketing plan". Yes - even in today's market you need a marketing professional. But what exactly does that mean?
