One of my favorite parts of this job is discovering local businesses that make our community unique.

Yesterday I attended the ribbon cutting for this new farm market with the Catoosa County Chamber of Commerce, and it’s definitely worth a stop.

You’ll find products from local farms and makers, including:
🥩 Fresh meats
🥚 Farm-fresh eggs
🥛 Raw milk
🥬 Seasonal produce
🍞 Fresh breads and baked goods
🥪 Made-to-order sandwiches
🍪 Giant cookies and cream-filled cookie sandwiches
🥮 Gluten-free cakes and cinnamon rolls
🍳 Lodge cast iron cookware
🪵 A carving barn featuring handcrafted wood furniture and carvings

The best part is that it’s so close to Chattanooga! It’s right off exit 348.

Whether you’re shopping for dinner, grabbing lunch, satisfying a sweet tooth, or looking for a unique gift, there’s a little something for everyone.

I love finding places like this because living in a community is about so much more than the home you buy—it’s about the local businesses and people that make it special.

Have you checked it out yet? What would be the first thing you’d try?

It’s amazing what a few thoughtful changes can do for curb appeal. ✨

For this listing, I wanted the entry to feel intentional, welcoming, and reflective of the home’s mid-century architecture—without spending a fortune.

A few simple changes made all the difference:
🌿 Framed the entry with planters for symmetry and color.
🌿 Added a larger focal planter between the doors to soften the space.
🌿 Layered a 10-foot runner underneath the existing doormats to visually connect all three entrances.
🌿 Included a lantern for a little extra warmth and personality.

I also chose low-maintenance greenery so the porch will continue looking fresh throughout the listing period with very little upkeep.

This is exactly why I believe staging isn’t just about furniture inside the house. Every detail—from the driveway to the front door—helps buyers form an emotional connection before they even walk in.

People say “you just sell houses.”

But nobody has ever called me about a house. 🤍 They call because they’re having a baby. Because mom and dad are moving in. Because the kids are gone and the house feels too big. Because they have to buy AND sell at the same time — and have no idea where to start. The house is just where the chapter happens. And here’s the thing after 8 years in Chattanooga… Whatever chapter you’re walking into, chances are I have a guide for it: 👶 Growing family? I’ve got the freebies ready. 🏡 Downsizing? There’s a guide for that. 🔁 Buying and selling at once? Handled. Step by step.

So tell me — what’s YOUR next chapter? Drop it below (or DM me if it’s still a secret 🤫) and I’ll send you the exact guide for it. No pressure. No pitch. Just a place to start.
