Got to show houses in the country today. Got to meet some cool characters!! This parrot was named Shamus. The horses have these cool sunglass type cloths over their faces. So adorable. The chickens weren't really feeling me though. As soon as I went to go take a picture they tried to get away. Lol.

One of my absolute favorite things about Greenville from May through October? The farmers markets. 🌿🍓

There is nothing better than a Saturday morning with fresh air, local food, coffee in hand, and that kind of easy community energy that makes you glad you live here. Here's your guide to the best markets in the Upstate:

🥬 TD SATURDAY MARKET — Downtown Greenville
📍 Main Street | ⏰ Saturdays, 8 AM–12 PM | May–October | FREE
The OG. Two blocks of Main Street taken over by 75+ vendors selling fresh produce, herbs, flowers, cheeses, baked goods, local honey, and artisan crafts. Pro tip: They have a youth booth!! Support the young entrepreneurs!!

🌿 TRAVELERS REST FARMERS MARKET
📍 Trailblazer Park, TR | ⏰ Saturdays, 8 AM–12 PM | May–September | FREE
Smaller and super charming. Park in TR, hit the market, then jump on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Perfect Saturday morning combo.

🌱 GREER FARMERS MARKET
📍 301 E. Poinsett St., Greer | ⏰ Sundays, 11 AM–2 PM (April–October) | FREE
Great for a Sunday outing with local produce, prepared foods, and a laid-back community vibe.

🍓 LOCAL STRAWBERRY FARMS (May is peak season!)
Strawberry Hill USA, Sandy Flat Berry Patch, and Stewart Farms are all open now for pick-your-own! Take the kids — this is one of those memories they'll remember.

Mother's Day weekend in Greenville is always something special — but THIS year it coincides with Artisphere!

For the moms who love wandering through art, listening to live music, eating great food, and feeling deeply grateful to live in this city — today is your day. The festival is free, it's on Main Street all weekend (Fri 12–8 PM, Sat 10 AM–8 PM, Sun 11 AM–6 PM), and it is truly one of the most beautiful things Greenville does.

But more than the festival — I've been thinking a lot this week about what Mother's Day actually means when your kids are teenagers.

It's different than the early years. There's no breakfast in bed. No macaroni art frames. What you get instead is... better, honestly. You get real conversations. You get a moment when one of them says something that floors you with its maturity. You get to watch two actual human beings you raised doing their thing in the world.

Homeschooling my boys through all of it has been the privilege of my life.

To all the moms out there today: you are doing something that matters more than you'll ever fully know. Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!!. 💛

April is wrapping up and I'm sitting here at the end of a long but really good month, thinking about how fast these years go by. 💛

One thing that hit me hard this month: my boys are not little kids anymore. Justin is going to start driving soon and Ethan is graduating! 😯😭🥰😍

This month we...
✅ Explored the Swamp Rabbit Trail (a couple times, because we love it)
✅ Hit a farmers market at McAlister Square
✅ Went to the Greenville County Museum of Art
✅ Hiked at Conestee Park
✅ The boys went to prom
✅ Had some really good late night conversations
✅ Laughed a lot
✅ Stressed about some things (because real life)
✅ Ended every single evening grateful for each other.

Running a real estate business while raising two teenage boys through homeschool is challenging at times but it is also the most fulfilling thing I've ever done. Some days I'm absolutely killing it, some days it's cereal for dinner and reading contracts at 10 PM 😂, and other days is just being lazy together.

But every day — EVERY day — I'm thankful. For this city. For these boys. For work that matters and clients who trust me.

Happy end of April, Greenville. Bring on May. 🌸

5 Things Every Greenville Home Buyer Should Know Before Making an Offer in 2026 🏡

Through the years in this business, the questions I get most from buyers are almost always the same — so here's your cheat sheet for navigating the Greenville market in 2026! 📋

1️⃣ GET PRE-APPROVED BEFORE YOU FALL IN LOVE
Even in a buyer-friendly market, sellers take pre-approved buyers far more seriously. Mortgage rates are hovering around 6%+ right now — get your numbers, then shop with confidence.

2️⃣ HOMES ARE SITTING LONGER — USE THAT TIME WISELY
Homes in Greenville are averaging over 60 days on market right now. That means you have time to do your due diligence, make comparisons, and negotiate. Don't rush.

3️⃣ NEGOTIATION IS BACK ON THE TABLE
Only a small percentage of homes are selling over asking right now. Sellers are accepting concessions again. Utilize your agent that knows how to structure your offer.

4️⃣ PRICE IS NOT THE ONLY TERM
Closing date flexibility, as-is vs. inspection contingencies, financing terms, And if you have a house to sell first, timing is everything. A knowledgeable broker can make your offer stand out even if it's not the highest number.

5️⃣ WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE MICRO-MARKETS
Greenville is not one market. Augusta Road, Five Forks, West Greenville — they each behave differently. You need someone who knows the street-level data.

I've held my real estate license in Greenville for 8 years and I LOVE helping buyers find their perfect home in this city. If you have questions about the process — DM me, call me, or drop a 🙋 below!

Days like this remind me why I love living here so much.
Earlier this week we spent the afternoon at Conestee Nature Preserve with our good friends — and it was one of those simple, perfect days.
The weather, the views, the spring flowers… everything was just off the charts. 🌸
Watching the kids walk together, explore, and just be outside (without screens for once 😅)… that’s the kind of stuff that sticks with you.
Places like this are such a big part of what makes Greenville special.
It’s not just about the homes—it’s the lifestyle, the access to nature, and how easy it is to slow down and enjoy it.
If you haven’t been to Conestee yet, definitely add it to your list.
