🏡 PENDING!

One of my past clients reached out to me to sell the home he purchased with me seven years ago. Those are the calls I never take for granted!!

After I walked through the home, we came up with a game plan to get it market-ready.

While he was finishing those last-minute projects, we decided to take advantage of one of my favorite marketing tools: Coming Soon.

Why???

Because it starts creating momentum before your home ever officially hits the market.

Buyers and agents could already see the home on major sites, start watching it, save it, and plan ahead. It gave us the opportunity to build interest while my client finished preparing everything.

By the time we officially went live on Friday, we already had multiple showings lined up.

By the end of the day, we had an accepted offer.

Instead of spending his holiday weekend wondering if anyone would come through the door, he got to enjoy it knowing his home was already under contract. 🙌

Now, does every Coming Soon listing sell the first day?

Absolutely not.

Every home, every market, and every situation is different. But when it’s the right strategy, it can make a huge difference in building early excitement and putting your home in front of the right buyers before day one.

That’s why real estate isn’t just putting a sign in the yard and hoping for the best. It’s knowing which strategies fit your home and your goals.

If you’ve been wondering what it would take to sell your home—or you’re just curious what I’d recommend for your specific situation—I’d love to help.

📩 Send me a message or give me a call. Let’s build the right game plan for your move. 🏡✨

Very little of this job is actually about houses. 🏡

I know, strange thing for a Realtor to say. But after almost 9 years across Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Independence, and the rest of the KC metro, here's what I keep coming back to: homes are rarely the story. People are.

I've sat in the mud in a dress, peering into a crawl space on closing morning (yes, really). I've walked relocating families through homes on FaceTime, cabinet by cabinet.

I've helped empty nesters say goodbye to 20 years of Christmas mornings inside the same four walls. None of that shows up in the contract. All of it is the job.

The market has changed a lot in 9 years. People haven't. They still want honesty, someone who actually answers the phone, and to be treated like a person instead of a transaction.

I wrote about all of it — the messy, human, wouldn't-trade-it parts. Read it here 👉 [link in comments] 💛

I am SUPER proud of this home buyer credit series guide!

There is SO much information in regards to credit that we are never taught until we are faced with learning it the hard way. We just know "Pay Your Bills on Time" but not about the credit utilizations and what exactly impacts your score!

This 8 part series gives you all you need to know to understand, improve and maintain your credit score! Its is broken up to receive a new email every 4 days so you don't get overwhelmed with all of it at once!

Check it out and let me know what you think! No Spam or anything crazy, just access to great information and tools to reach me or a great lender to help you out!
