I’ve talked clients out of buying and selling before. And honestly? I’ve talked myself out of a few deals, and while I only get paid when a deal closes.... here’s the thing…

I’m not here to chase commissions. I’m here to be your trusted advisor for the long haul.

That means telling you the truth, even when it’s:

➡️ “Now’s not the time to sell.”

➡️ “You might be better off renting for a while.”

➡️ “Let’s wait and watch how the market shifts.”

🏡 Sometimes the best move is no move at all.

And I’ll always help you explore all your options like renovating, renting, and staying put before you feel pressured to make one.
Because the right decision? It’s the one that sets you up for the future. Not just today.

✨ If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or relocating in 2026, let’s talk.

No pressure. Just a clear, honest conversation about what makes the most sense for you.

In case you haven’t heard, it’s a GREAT time for buyers right now! Mortgage Rates just dropped last week, and now the lowest it has been in a while….and there is a TON of inventory in the market with zero competition…. for now!

Congrats to my buyer who scored this awesome move-in ready new build that fell perfectly in-line with his time frame! He will be in the heart of the new Baseline community where retail shop, coffee shops, and new Whole Foods is scheduled to be break ground early 2026! For a guy who enjoys his walks, there will be plenty to walk very soon!

Welcome to the other side!!

Collin’s story started out like many buyers I meet. They desperately want to buy but feel like they aren’t ready yet. They have their ideal home in their mind, and it feels out of reach. So they keep looking online and saving money, hoping one day it will be their time.

However, time was almost up to was to renew his lease and he just couldn’t do it. He couldn’t stomach the idea of another year spending over $30K on rent.

He shifted his expectations, explored various options and had some deep discussions on what was realistic. None of this could’ve happened without our secret sauce - our fabulous lender !! She found programs he could take advantage of, which made the numbers work. And THAT is everything!

Goodbye rental life, hello to home ownership and having a place to call your very own!!! 🏡❤️🏡

Trying to time the real estate market in Colorado is like waiting for the “perfect” Monday to start going to the gym.

You’ll keep waiting… and waiting… and miss the opportunities right in front of you.

Instead of chasing the market, let’s build a plan around you. Your budget, your goals, your timeline.

🏡 Whether you're six months out or just getting curious, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Buying your first home is one of life’s biggest milestones, and closing day is really the best day because we crossed the finish line!

My buyers have been together since they were teenagers and I’m pretty sure they have been saving for a home since then (I hope my kids are reading this!). They knew they wanted to have a place to call their own and as prepared as we were… things become real when you go under contract. It’s a lot of money with all the emotions, the nerves, the anxiety, the excitement….all of it was there.

We had terminated on a house earlier this year. Even though the first home boasted upgrades and large square footage, the structural issues couldn’t be ignored so we moved on.

The next home was great on many levels but had an newish roof with bad hail damage. What made this confusing was the fact it was black tile, and there was a wide range of opinions on the roof. And we had MANY opinions! It can be hard to see damage based on what direction the sun was coming from. Even the insurance adjuster was out and made claims that the roof was good, and had another 22 years of life, which we know in Colorado is pretty much impossible! It didn’t sit well with us, and we kept pushing for clarity.

The right house is nothing with a bad roof. Long story short, we negotiated for a new roof and we got it. Grateful to have worked with a great agent on the other side who also understood this priority. My buyers are thrilled to be on the other side! Now comes the fun stuff like weekend projects doing upgrades, decorating and building out the huge backyard for their dog!

Congrats Dylan and Kayla for getting to the other side and being homeowners!! So happy for you both!!🏡 💕

When you close with friends! It is bittersweet when good friends move out of state, but so grateful to have helped them with getting to their next chapter of life!

We didn’t cross our fingers and hope for the best. We did everything we could to attract buyers and instill buyer confidence - from a pre-listing inspection so we could get ahead of any buyer objections down to understanding the competition and the unpredictability of the current market. We talked about all the different scenarios and had a game plan for price improvements if and when we needed to deploy them. We put our best foot forward with merchandising and extensive marketing. They took advantage of 8z offerings to make moving smoother and less stressful. We priced it well and went under contract in 12 days.

As a side note: BUYERS this is YOUR market! Our buyers asked for a lot, and they got a lot! 🛍️🛒

This was definitely the most fun I have had with a transaction to date! Our conversations the last few months went something like this… “Whoohoo, we got showings!” “Should I buy this jacket for staging and photos, then keep it after?” “Is Jamie going to Phish this summer?” “Are the dogs being annoying for the open house? Can we come home yet?” “What time does art club start?” “ I’m going to be a part-time stager, I have some damn good ideas!” “Does Hannah want all this make-up/ hair/ nail stuff?” “Do you want these frozen chicken wings?” “Can we take that picture again, my arm looks huge!” 😅

Thank you Mike and Amanda for trusting me to be your realtor and letting me part of your journey! Jamie and I look forward to seeing you in London, and having travel buddies when we join the empty nesters club in couple of years! Love you guys! xoxo

One of the most common things I hear from buyers is they don’t want someone telling them what they can or can’t do with their home.

“Why should I have to ask permission? It’s my house”

“Why would I want to pay money each month for HOA when I could pay for a bigger house?”

I have buyers tell me, “well, I don’t want anyone telling me what to do…. But I do wish my neighbors would do what I want them to do”. This includes putting away Christmas decorations in a timely fashion so you don’t see them outside your window in September.

Yes, It’s another level of bureaucracy no one wants to deal with, I totally get that. The truth is, HOA communities help protect the value of your home so this ⬆️(pictured above) doesn’t happen next to your house. No matter what type of upgrades you have, you limit your buyer pool when it comes time to sell your home as not everyone wants to live next to this. However, having an HOA also means there are also added costs.

HOA’s are the highest in condo complexes when there are many shared maintenance and resources. This can include security, gym, pool, exterior maintenance, roofs, storage, parking, landscaping, snow removal etc. I have seen as high as $800/ month in Denver.

Many first-time buyers want single family homes but can sometimes overlook the fact that HOA communities can help cover exterior maintenance costs which can really add up!

For single family communities, HOA’s are much lower, and in my community is less than $200/ month. Homeowners are responsible for their own home maintenance, and while we pay for some shared resources like a community center and maintenance within the community, it also sponsors lifestyle events like concerts, summer kick-off events at the pool, Easter Egg Hunts and Christmas events. It can be a great way to stay connected in the neighborhood and meet new people.

Whether you are looking to buy for the first time, upgrade or relocate, consider keeping an open mind. Discuss lifestyle options with your realtor as these can be added benefits to certain communities when you start your home search!

One of the most frequently asked questions I get asked is “are we anticipating another market crash?”. Buyers sometimes ask this in hopes of home prices coming down, and sadly the answer is no, we do not expect that to happen.

Simple answer is that the demand in Colorado outpaces supply. Colorado will continue to be a desirable place to live because of the mountains, amongst other reasons. Similar to the ocean, people will flock to Colorado to live near the mountains to pursue their outdoor adventures much like people flock to the beach to live by the water.

In addition to that, homeowners have a significant amount of equity in their homes, versus that last major crash that happened near 2008 which is illustrated in the graphic below. There are several factors why that crash happened. While this year has been one of the hardest markets in real estate with the lowest transactions industry wide (30% down) in the last 30 years, and the highest interest rate in 20 years, those same factors are not relevant in todays market.

Have questions? Let’s chat!

What's the average down payment in the U.S.? 🤔

💵 60% of buyers are putting down more than 10% of the purchase price.

But remember, this is the average down payment for ALL buyers across the U.S.

〰️ First-time homebuyers average 5-8% down
〰️ Repeat buyers put down 19-20% on average, thanks to existing equity.

Do these numbers surprise you? ✨

LOCAL FRIENDS!! I would LOVE your gently used jackets and coats if you have any to donate! Last year, I collected 170 jackets, and this year I would love to hit 200. Please dig through your closets and mudrooms and send me a DM if you have jackets that you or your family has outgrown or replaced. I would be happy to pick them up! I am collecting coats through out the month of NOVEMBER, but the drive will run until the end of the year. Thank you so much for your consideration and help!!! ❄️🙏
