🛍️ Thrift store vs. consignment store—they’re not actually the same thing! 👀

At a thrift store, items are typically donated. At a consignment store, the original owner receives a portion of the sale when their item sells.

Either way, secondhand shopping can mean finding beautiful pieces for a fraction of what you might pay elsewhere—and Ann has plenty of local favorites to explore. ✨

🛒 The Goodwill Outlet bins are basically competitive thrifting. 😂

Clothes are sold by the pound, lightweight finds can cost next to nothing, and when you spot something good? Grab it first, inspect it later. 👀

Ann’s strategy: get a cart immediately, claim your finds before someone else does, check for stains and pilling afterward—and please, wear gloves. 🧤

The bins are not for the weak. 😂

🛍️ Thrifting Rule #4: CHECK. THE. LABEL. 👀

Because we are NOT paying $8.99 at Goodwill for something that might cost $8.99 brand new. 😂

Ann’s strategy? Know the brands you’re looking for, check those tags, and make sure you’re actually getting a deal. And right now? Chico’s and Talbots are officially on her thrift radar. ✨

In this special Episode 9.5, Ann takes you along on her thrifting adventures and shares the experiences, lessons, and completely unscientific rules she’s picked up while hunting for a really good deal.

You’ll hear how she finds hidden gems without spending a fortune, why she takes her time going through the racks, how she shops sales and discount tags, and why you should never assume something won’t work just because it’s hanging in the “wrong” size or section. 👀

She’s also showing off some of her favorite recent finds and sharing the Eastern Iowa thrift and consignment spots where she loves searching for her next great deal.

For Ann, it’s not just about spending less—it’s the thrill of finding something unique, giving it another life, and walking away thinking, “I can’t believe I got this for THAT price.” ✨

Get ready to thrift, laugh, and hunt for some hidden gems with your very own Ann Roushar.

🤝 You don’t outgrow the need for a mentor.

Real estate can be a complicated world, and having someone you trust to offer guidance, share experience, and help you navigate the journey can make all the difference.

The mentors may change as you grow, but the value of having someone in your corner never does. 🏡✨

✨ Sometimes you reach a point where you have to bet on yourself.

For six years, Jess built her real estate career while working another job to pay the bills. Going full-time was always the dream—but she thought that moment was still another year away.

Then five deals under contract changed the question from “Can I do this?” to “What could I accomplish if I gave this everything?” 🏡💕

Now, she’s officially a full-time agent.
