Waiting for rates, prices, and competition to drop ?

The market said, “Be serious.” 😂

The better question is whether buying makes sense for your budget, goals, and life right now.

If you want to explore your options without any pressure, comment or DM me “PLAN” and let’s talk.

I am your local St Louis Real Estate Agent and I love strategizing with families to help them make informed moves.

Compare the full cost, not only rent versus principal and interest.

If you are considering buying, review:

1. Time horizon: How long are you likely to stay?

2. Cash needed: Can you cover the down payment, closing costs, and an emergency reserve?

3. Full monthly payment: Include principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA fee.

4. Ownership costs: Budget for maintenance and repairs, not just the mortgage.

5. Flexibility: Would a move, job change, or life transition make renting more practical right now?

Homeownership can build stability and equity, but only when the full plan fits. A real comparison uses your timeline, local prices, rent, cash reserves, and complete ownership cost.

Send this to someone who needs to see this.

If we haven’t met yet, I am Spencer, your local St Louis Agent!!

We almost gave up on this search three times.

My clients wanted a safe, quiet neighborhood. A big lot. No HOA telling them what color to paint their shutters.

That combination pushed our search further out — and every home that fit had a catch. Flood plains. Homes that needed a full gut job for more than they were worth. Or the kind of competition that pushed the price past what made sense for them.

Then this one showed up.
Priced below the area’s median, sitting on a full acre in a market where that kind of lot almost never comes available — we got in the car immediately.

The home needs work. But the lot and the bones were exactly what my clients had been chasing for months. So we moved fast. Strategic offer, quick timeline — enough to get the seller to shut down showings before the bidding war even started. No wild over-asking price required.

Inspections turned up a few surprises (they always do). We negotiated a fair resolution with the sellers, and today — we closed.

My clients now have a home with room to grow into, on a lot that will only get harder to find, in a location that will keep appreciating. The updating is just the next chapter.

This is why speed and strategy matter more than ever in this market. Being first isn’t luck — it’s preparation.

Congratulations to my repeat clients — I love that you trust me with this every single time. 🏡

DM me if you’re hunting for that “impossible to find” property.
I love a good challenge.

Went under contract this weekend — just in time for the 4th of July. 🎉

What a way to head into a holiday weekend. This St. Peters home is officially spoken for, and the sellers get to celebrate all week long. 🇺🇸

If selling has been on your mind, the market is still moving — even heading into a holiday. DM me and let’s talk strategy. 🏡

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads around. An extra special one for my Dad and Husband! I love you both so much. Thank you for being exceptional fathers. 💙💙💙💙

400 transactions.

This one hits different.

I helped this family sell their home and find the one that was ready for what’s next — more space, more room to grow, more of what they needed.

And somehow, without planning it, they became number 400.
Every closing on my way here has mattered. Every family, every set of keys, every moment like this one.

This is why I do what I do. And I’m just getting started.

Thank you to every client who has trusted me with one of the biggest decisions of your life. I don’t take that lightly — not once, not ever.

DM me if you’re ready to be part of what’s next. 🤍

Had a blast with my brokerage today supporting a great cause and getting outside and playing! 💕

What an incredible day!

Today, Elevate Realty hosted the area's First Annual Brokerage Vs. Brokerage Kickball Tournament, bringing together 14 brokerages from across the Greater St. Louis area for a day of friendly competition, networking, and giving back.

While we all came to have fun, the real purpose behind today's event was to support an important cause by raising funds for Chad's Coalition for Mental Health.

Real estate is far from a typical 9-to-5 career. Our agents spend their evenings, weekends, and even holidays helping clients achieve their goals of homeownership. Because of that, many real estate professionals have a deep passion for serving and investing in the communities they call home.

At Elevate Realty, our mission is simple: to Elevate the lives of our clients, our agents, and the communities we serve. Today's event was a perfect example of what can happen when our industry comes together for something bigger than business.

A huge thank you to all of the brokerages that joined us today:

🤝 Epique Realty
🤝 Keller Williams Chesterfield
🤝 Keller Williams STL
🤝 1st Class Realty
🤝 Magnolia Real Estate
🤝 FasterHouse
🤝 Realty Executives of St. Louis
🤝 RE/MAX Integrity
🤝 eXp Realty
🤝Genstone Realty
🤝 Delhougne Realty Group
🤝 Herman London Group

Thank you for helping make our first tournament such a success. We are already looking forward to next year!

Two closings. One family. One incredible journey. 🤍

They came to me over a year ago with a big dream and an even bigger family to grow into it.

They knew what they wanted. They were specific. And I took notes.

Second home we toured — Cashmere Lane — and they just knew. You can’t manufacture that moment. 6 beds, 5 baths, 5,124 sq ft, and a pool. Room to breathe. Room to grow.
The home had only been listed for one day. We toured it, and within 4 hours I had them under contract.

The sellers? They were headed out on a cruise. I made sure they could board that ship without a single thing left to worry about — clean offer, no loose ends, just smooth sailing for everyone at the table.

Their sale in St. Charles followed right behind it. One chapter closed, a new one wide open in St. Peters.
This is why I do what I do.

If you’re ready to find yours, my DM is always open.

3,300 square feet in Beacon Hill — and every inch has a purpose.

This 4 bed, 3.5 bath home in St. Charles sits at $470,000 and delivers the kind of space most buyers have to compromise on.

Oversized composite deck completed in August 2025. A fully finished lower level with a bar, second fireplace, and bonus living space. A primary suite with a walk-in closet with built-ins. A kitchen with a center island, wet bar, and actual workspace — not just counter space.

Plus a fenced backyard, dedicated laundry room, and an attached 2-car garage with built-ins.

And you’re about 3 miles from Main Street St. Charles and the Katy Trail.

3252 Principia Avenue is live. DM me for a private showing or visit WithSpencer314.com for the full details.

Under contract does not mean done.

Inspections, appraisals, repair negotiations, lender conditions, occupancy permits — the transaction doesn’t run itself. And if a seller goes dark or drops the ball on something as basic as keeping utilities on, it can derail everything.

Save this if you’re thinking about selling — and share it with someone who needs to hear it before they list. 👇
