No income tax is real, and it changes lives. But Wyoming doesn't collect nothing. We just collect differently. 🚙

Less on what you earn, more at the county treasurer's window, on what you drive, what you buy and what you build. A new truck can cost over $1,000 to plate in year one, and that fee never quite hits zero.

It's a trade, not a free lunch, and for most people I work with, it's absolutely worth it. I'd just rather you hear it from me than from your first renewal notice.

.shepherdess Sellers, you can’t negotiate an offer you never receive. Buyers have more choices, and they’re comparing your house to everything else they’re seeing online. If comparable homes are getting showings and selling while yours is getting views and saves but nobody is walking through the door, the market may be telling you something about your price. Sometimes a $5,000 or $10,000 adjustment is enough to get buyers looking again. At higher price points, it may take more. The goal is to get buyers through the door so you actually have something to negotiate. Last time you sold, what was your list price when you received the offer—and what did you ultimately sell for?

This is EXACTLY why I say never close without a final walkthrough. If you’re buying remotely, have your agent FaceTime you, send video—something that gives you actual proof the seller is out and the house is in the expected condition. This buyer showed up the day after closing with the moving van and the sellers were STILL THERE partying in the garage. Then they finally left—and left a massive mess behind. My rule is simple: if the seller hasn’t moved out as required, don’t close until the situation is resolved. What did you find during your final walkthrough?

I am NOT a fan of post-occupancy. Selling your house and then staying for another two weeks or a month may solve one problem—but it can create a whole new set of them. I’ve watched sellers end up fighting over escrow money after closing, including one who ultimately lost $3,000. If you absolutely have to stay after closing, the agreement needs to clearly address possession, money, responsibilities and what happens if there’s a dispute. But my preference? Move out, close, get your money and be DONE. Have you ever stayed in your house after you sold it? How did it go?

People will test-drive a $50,000 car more than once, but somehow we’re surprised when buyers want to see a HOUSE they’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on again. 😂 I encourage my buyers to see a house twice before making an offer, and I don’t have a problem with a few reasonable visits after they’re under contract either. As a seller, I want that buyer staying excited, comfortable and engaged all the way to closing—especially as the housing market slows down. Sellers, how many return visits would you allow? Buyers, how many times would you want to see the house before closing?

Every one of these is true. Yes, even the jackalope one. 🦌

I've lived in Wyoming for over 45 years, and newcomers still do a double take at stuff we don't even notice anymore. The cow has the right of way. The interstate closes for wind. And we legislated a code of ethics.

Which one got you? Tell me in the comments. And if you're a local, drop the one I missed.

A buyer offered $200,000 UNDER asking price on a listing—and two and a half days of negotiating later, they were under contract. Sellers, you have to negotiate. A low offer can make you mad, but rejecting it immediately ends the conversation. Counter like you actually want to sell the house and find out whether that buyer is willing to move. And your listing agent should be preparing you BEFORE the offer ever arrives. Price, inspections, repairs, appraisal issues—I’ve learned that sellers handle surprises much better when we’ve already talked about what could happen and how we’ll respond. Sellers, what did your agent do during a tough negotiation that helped keep you calm?

I just got off the phone with a past client and I am PISSED—not at her. She spent about five days trying to buy a house while the agent she called wouldn’t show it to her, didn’t get a buyer agreement signed and ultimately wrote an offer for another buyer instead of hers. By the time she called the listing agent, the house was apparently under contract. This is exactly why choosing the right real estate agent matters. You’re trusting someone to help you buy or sell what may be the most expensive asset you’ll ever own. How are you actually choosing that person?
