Sometimes marketing doesn’t need to be complicated. 😂🏡

Here’s the breakdown:

🙋🏼‍♀️ Me: I sell houses.
🔑 I get you the keys.
🏡 You get the house.

See? Real estate can be simple. 😂

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just have questions about where to start, I’m always happy to help!

And yes…my artistic abilities are clearly just as impressive as my real estate skills. 😂✍️

A little “get to know me” post. 🤎🏡

200+ homes sold, two amazing daughters I’m raising to be strong and independent, a genuine love for helping people…and of course, my tiny sidekick Rome. 🐾

Real estate is a huge part of what I do, but it’s definitely not all of who I am. I’m big on relationships, honesty, hard work, a little humor, and keeping things REAL.

So if that’s your kind of person…stick around. 😉❤️

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately with friends, clients, and family about the Chicagoland real estate market, and I keep hearing the same thing:

“I’m just going to wait.”

Wait for rates to come down.
Wait for prices to come down.
Wait until spring.
Wait until the market feels “better.”

And I completely understand why. Everything feels expensive right now.

But here’s something I think buyers really need to understand: our housing inventory is still incredibly low compared to where it was before 2020.

That limited inventory is a huge reason we’re still in a seller’s market. But right now, we’re also seeing something buyers haven’t had much of lately—homes sitting a little longer, price reductions, fewer bidding wars, and sellers who may actually be willing to negotiate.

That creates opportunity.

Everyone is waiting for interest rates to drop. But what happens when they do?

More buyers jump back into the market.

And if we suddenly have a LOT more buyers competing for the same limited number of homes, basic supply and demand tells us what happens next: competition increases and home prices get pushed higher.

Yes, you may be able to get a lower interest rate later. But you can refinance a mortgage if rates come down. You cannot go back and change the price you paid for the house.

For first-time buyers especially—or buyers using FHA or lower down-payment financing—this slower market may give you an opportunity to compete without fighting against as many cash offers or throwing everything you have at a house just to win.

Does that mean everyone should run out and buy a house tomorrow? Absolutely not.

It means you shouldn’t make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life based on headlines or trying to perfectly time the market.

There ARE opportunities in the 2026 market. You just have to know where to look for them.

My job isn’t to convince you to buy or sell. My job is to educate you about what’s actually happening in our local market, look at the numbers with you, and help you decide what makes the most sense for YOU.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering whether you should buy now or wait, let’s have a conversation. No pressure. Let’s look at your situation, the numbers, and what the Chicagoland market is actually doing. 🏡❤️

🏡 OFFICIALLY CLOSED! 🔑❤️

640 Ash Street in Algonquin is officially SOLD! 🎉

I had the pleasure of representing the seller on this one, and after a few twists and turns along the way, I’m so happy we made it to the closing table! 🥂

A huge congratulations to my seller on closing this chapter and moving on to what’s next. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process — it truly means so much! ❤️

Thinking about selling? Whether it’s smooth sailing or we hit a few bumps along the way, I’ll be there from “For Sale” to “SOLD!” 🏡

Sometimes in real estate, the biggest “hallelujah” comes when something doesn’t happen.
🙌🏡
Not every real estate transaction, buyer, offer, inspection, appraisal, or escrow is meant to work out.
Sometimes what feels like a disappointing delay, canceled contract, or closed door is actually protecting you from bigger problems, unexpected expenses, unnecessary stress, or the wrong outcome.
When the right buyer, seller, home, financing, and timing come together, the path often becomes clearer—with fewer roadblocks standing between you and closing day.
If your home purchase or sale didn’t go as planned, don’t assume the opportunity is over. You may simply need a better real estate strategy, experienced representation, or a different path forward.

Your Zestimate has never actually stepped foot inside your house. 👀🏡

It hasn’t seen the updates you’ve made, how well you’ve taken care of it, the finishes you chose, your yard, your neighborhood—or how your home actually feels when a buyer walks through the door.

Zillow can give you a number, but an algorithm doesn’t know your home or your local market the way an experienced Realtor does.

So yes, your Zestimate can be fun to look at…but please don’t use it to decide what your house is actually worth. 😉

In this week’s blog, I’m talking about Zestimate vs. real market value and what REALLY determines how much your home could sell for.

And if Zillow has you wondering what your home is actually worth, send me a message. I’m always happy to take a look and give you a realistic idea of what you could sell for in today’s market. ❤️

This right here. 👏

Sometimes the best thing you can do as an agent is recognize when a deal is no longer in your client’s best interest—even if that means walking away from it.

My job isn’t just to get you to the closing table. It’s to protect you, advise you, point out the red flags, and make sure you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to along the way.

Of course I want every transaction to make it to closing. But never at the expense of my client.

A closed deal is great. A protected client is more important. 🏡❤️

Real estate is about so much more than paperwork and signatures. 🏡❤️

Yes, knowing the contract matters. Knowing the deadlines, contingencies, and details matters.

But experience really shows when things don’t go according to plan.

It’s knowing when to push, when to negotiate, how to have the difficult conversations, and how to keep everyone moving toward the closing table when emotions are high and the pressure is on.

Buying or selling a home can be stressful. My job isn’t just to get you under contract—it’s to guide you, advocate for you, and help get you through it.

That’s the difference experience makes. ❤️🔑

Thinking about buying or selling? I’d love to be the person in your corner.

This. 👏

Real estate doesn’t always happen between 9–5, Monday through Friday. Offers come in at night. Inspection issues pop up on weekends. Questions happen when you’re lying in bed thinking about one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

And while I absolutely believe in having boundaries, I also believe in being there when my clients need me. ❤️

When you work with me, you’re not just another transaction or another number on a spreadsheet. I care about your goals, your family, your finances, and what comes next for you.

Sometimes that means answering the phone at 9pm on a Saturday. Sometimes it means talking you off the real estate ledge 😂. Sometimes it means fighting for your best interest when things get complicated.

Buying or selling a home is personal—and I treat it that way.

One of the biggest things I tell my buyers right now: don’t get so focused on waiting for the “perfect” interest rate that you miss the right house. 🏡

Yes, rates matter. But the purchase price, competition, negotiations, seller credits and your overall strategy can matter just as much—sometimes more.

I’m helping my clients look at the whole picture instead of just one number.

Sometimes buying while there’s less competition gives you more negotiating power—and if rates come down later, refinancing may be an option. But you can’t go back and renegotiate the price you paid for the house.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in real estate. The best move is the one that makes sense for your finances, your timeline and your goals.

Thinking about buying but wondering if you should wait? Send me a message. I’m always happy to talk through the numbers with you—no pressure, just honest advice. ❤️🏡
