I told you all a few weeks ago, I had an announcement coming soon!
Two weeks ago, I joined MaX House EXP while remaining with the brokerage I've always loved— eXp Realty.
Staying with eXp was incredibly important to me, and after meeting with Britany, I knew I'd found exactly where I was supposed to be. This was a decision I'd been praying about and needed to make for quite some time.
Before we ever talked about real estate, we talked about faith. After our meeting, I remember sitting there thinking, "Yes, Lord... I'm hearing You."
I was invited to their team meeting before joining the team and I was absolutely in awe! I can tell you there's a lot of groups that call themselves "teams" in real estate.....Ya'll, MaX House is a whole other level! 🔥
This week we kicked off Excellence Week—seven women, all at different stages of our real estate careers, but with one common goal: to become better.
The collaboration, the leadership, the accountability, and the willingness to genuinely help one another succeed is amazing. Their motto is "Better Together," and they don't just say it... they live it. The awards and recognition speak for themselves, but it was the culture that truly won me over.
In August, I'll celebrate five years in real estate, and I can honestly say I'm more excited today than I was on day one.
Over the last several months, my faith has become the absolute foundation of my life. It has totally changed the way I think, live, lead, and serve, and this week simply confirmed that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
And because I've already been asked... no, Southern Thyme Candle Co. isn't slowing down. In fact, we're approaching our first anniversary, have grown to 36 retail locations across 11 states, and have welcomed three new retail partners this month alone.
I'm also heading into the weekend with two buyer consultations—one with a first-time homebuyer and another with an out-of-state buyer I've been helping as he searches for the right RV park investment.
I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has been part of my journey over the last five years, and I'm even more excited about the road ahead.
Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply trying to figure out what's next—from the foothills of the Smokies to the Carolina Coast—I would be honored to earn your trust and help you navigate one of life's biggest decisions.
