The market is heating up! If houses were "pending" in April, there is a good chance they closed in May.

Did you know nearly 1 in 3 home purchases today involves co-buyers?

That's right, more and more first-time buyers are teaming up with friends, siblings, or unmarried partners to make homeownership happen.

And honestly? It makes a lot of sense given how tough affordability can still be for first-time buyers.

Combining incomes means a bigger down payment, better loan qualification, and lower monthly costs for everyone involved.

If you've been feeling priced out, co-buying might be the move you haven't considered yet. Drop your questions in the comments. We'd love to help you explore your options.

Last night was the 39th Annual Rotary Teacher of the Year Banquet, and it was such an incredible evening.
Our Rotary Club had the chance to recognize and celebrate so many outstanding educators in Bristol, TN and VA. These teachers do so much behind the scenes, and it’s truly an honor to recognize them and the impact they make every single day.
Congratulations to all of the nominees and to this year’s winners Brad Stubbs (Bristol, TN) and Wendy Edwards (Bristol, VA). Both are so deserving of this award!
As a former teacher, being a part of the teacher awards committee means a lot to me. It’s a small way to give back and show appreciation for a profession that often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. 🍎

CLOSED! This one was special 💛
We went under contract within days of listing with a full price offer! 🙌🏻
I originally met the seller at an open house many months ago, and it’s been so rewarding to see everything come full circle. We listed her home and helped her, her husband, and their kids move into a bigger home for their next chapter 🏡✨
I truly love working with such great people. Mallory and John, thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be a small part of your lives. It was an absolute honor! 🤗

Last week, Bobby Reynolds and I had the chance to present Homeownership 101 to a business class at King University. We covered the full home-buying process—how to get ready now, renting vs. buying, loan types, how to negotiate, credit scores, common mistakes, and more. The students were engaged, asked great questions, and we’re excited to come back in the Spring!
As a former teacher, this is my sweet spot: empowering young people to see that you don’t have to wait until your 30s to buy a home. Homeownership is one of the biggest and best investments most people make—and starting young can jump-start your wealth building.
(P.S. selfies aren’t my forte 😂 but the learning was top-notch!)
If you’re young, renting, and have never even considered buying — but you’re curious — give me a call and let’s chat. I’d love to sit down with you, look at your numbers, and be your cheerleader from start to finish. You might be closer to owning a home than you think! 🏡✨
