Jamie’s first visit to Raleigh (and Holly Springs) was back in 2009 - she and her husband John had some friends in the area. She absolutely fell in love with the area, and knew that one day she wanted to plant roots and raise a family here in the Triangle. When Jamie realized their son would soon be starting kindergarten, she knew that God was opening a door for them to finally make the long dista

nce move from California, and relocate their family of 4 to the Triangle. After much prayer, a lot of faith, and some hard work - they packed up their life and they finally made the move and will never look back! Now that they are living in Holly Springs and planting roots, Jamie vows to help families in similar situations to help make their dreams a reality.

I know everyone is a little unsure of whether now is really a good time to buy or sell a home. So, here's what I would say to my own dad if he was thinking about buying or selling:

1) The real estate market here in Holly Springs is still very strong.

This is not 2008. Lending standards are very high, which means the people who own a home can actually afford it. The reason for the crazy home appreciation we saw over the last 18 months is simply a supply & demand issue. Not a bubble.

Nationwide, we haven't been building enough homes over the last 10 years. And the largest population (aside from Baby Boomers) has now reached the home buying age. And now there aren't enough homes available for the people who want to buy homes.

That's it. So, if you're a homeowner in Holly Springs, it's still a great time to sell.

2) Homes are continuing to appreciate.

Although interest rates have put a stop to the fast-paced (and unsustainable) rise of home prices over the last 36 months, homes are still appreciating year over year. For instance, even with current interest rates in the mid-6s or 7s, home values here in Holly Springs rose from a median price of $500k to around $575k in the past 3 years. If you buy a home today, you can still expect normal appreciation year over year.

3) Buying a home today will still be better than waiting.

I had too many clients drop out in 2021 to "wait" for home prices to come down. Not only did home prices NOT come down...interest rates went up. And even with higher interest rates, home prices have not dropped the way many of those folks waiting it out thought they might. Today, many of them wish they had purchased instead of waiting.

If you find a home you like, in an area you want to live in, and you can afford the payment… my best advice is to buy it. The supply and demand scenario we're seeing nationwide right now was 10 years in the making, so the likelihood that waiting another 6-12 months will make your purchase more affordable is slim. If you can afford it now, buy it now.

Now, I know everyone's situation is different, and I'm happy to talk specifics with you if you have questions! But in general, this is my best advice. And it's exactly what I'd say to my own family about the real estate market here in Holly Springs.

I'll be honest, it's NOT a good time to buy or sell for a lot of folks. But there are 5 reasons people will still move this year, even with high interest rates & low inventory:

1) Job Change. Let's be real, the economy doesn't care if you have the home of your dreams locked in at a 3% interest rate. If work changes, you have to make a change too. Sometimes, folks decide to rent their homes out because their mortgage rate is so low, but most of the time, people need the equity in their current home to buy the next one.

2) Wedding Bells. Starting a new life together means living together too! In some cases, this means first-time buyers looking to purchase a home. But if both are already homeowners, a marriage means one person needs to sell their home, since they'll move in together.

3) Babies. See #2. 🙂 It doesn't matter if the economy is "good" or "bad," people still have babies. And a crib in your bedroom is fine, but when that baby starts to grow, you'll need more space.

4) Divorce. When a couple separates, it often involves figuring out who gets to keep the home and who moves out. Or sometimes, the best course of action is to sell and split the money.

5) Death. When a loved one passes, the family can face some big decisions when there is a home involved. Especially when it comes to estates, it's important to make sure you have an experienced agent to guide you through the process and know the best options available.

Now, even in a tough market like this, some people will absolutely just move because they want to…not because they have to.

But for the average person here in the Holly Springs area, a move is happening right now because of one of the reasons I listed.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the economy is like, or whether it's a seller's market or a buyer's market.

Life happens, and you'll need to move.

So, if you have any questions, or know anyone who might, feel free to pass along my info to them. I'm happy to help.

I was about 9 years old in this photo.

Obviously, everyone has regrets in life. I sure as heck do. For starters, I should have been buying land and investing in real estate. But I was too busy being a track star.

Tulak Family annual vision board dinner is in the books! These kids crushed their goals this year so off to Perry’s Steakhouse we went for our annual year-end recap and goal planning dinner!

We reviewed their goals they set one year ago and discussed what they were able to accomplish, and talked about what goals they decided to set for this next year.

If you’re not doing some form of goal setting with your kids, I encourage you to start doing it. It’s amazing how proud they are when they discuss what they accomplished. It teaches them to think big, dream bigger, and learn good habits of working hard, every day, consistently. We hang these up in their bedrooms and we discuss their goals all year long.

If you realize it or not, your kids are watching your every move. Teach them life changing skills from a young age! Grateful for everything God blessed us with this year. Truly more than we deserve!

I love the holiday “vibe” during the few weeks before Christmas. The fir scented candles, Mariah Carey Christmas music playing, Christmas lights, hot chocolate, and of course presents under the tree (even as adults when you don’t “need” gifts because if you really wanted something you’d probably have bought it already)! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

And I’ve thought about this a lot recently: kids love tangible presents because they usually get toys from Santa they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford on their own. I mean, the look on Carson and Harper's faces on Christmas morning is amazing, and I may not get many more "magical" years as they grow up.

Even in the most prosperous country in the history of human civilization, preschoolers don’t have the disposable income to buy $50+ LEGO sets or the latest video games. So THEY love Christmas time because of the tangible, material abundance it represents. They get toys!

And we don’t judge them for being materialistic. We encourage it, because deep down we know there’s nothing wrong with wanting a better life! Material goods are part of that equation, and on Christmas morning parents live vicariously through their kids. No matter what some spiritual gurus say, more “stuff” can absolutely make you happy.

But it’s not the only thing that can make you happy.

Adults enjoy it because of all the intangibles that gifts are a proxy for: family, togetherness, well being, and taking a few days off of work to just be present with your loved ones. The gifts are just an excuse to get together! Because even if you have all the money in the world, you can’t buy friends and family.

Christmas is an annual reminder that we’re all far richer than we realize. It symbolizes the cumulative joy of material abundance AND the emotional abundance of friends & family. Unlike previous eras in human history defined by conflict, famine, suffering, and starvation as a default existence....we enjoy prosperity as the default here in America. That’s worth celebrating!

“Peace on Earth, and goodwill towards all mankind.” Luke 2:14

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

Homeowners: ISO a real estate agent who is on fleek? ICYMI, my marketing really slaps, no cap. It really is straight skibidi rizz and you would be delulu not to use me because no one else in the area offers what I do. Because of my bussin' marketing, stans often stop and say it slays on Facebook. It’s so sigma.

I love providing my clients with dank marketing that gets tens of thousands of views on their property. My videos are living rent-free in buyers’ minds because of the creativity and how it just hits different. Other agents' basic marketing just ain’t it, chief. It’s cooked and really is a beige flag, way too vanilla.

And I don’t ghost my clients either. If they need me, I’m there--to do anything else would be sus. I get really heated when I hear of other agents who left clients on read. That’s such an ick.

As the holiday season of 1938 came to Chicago, Bob May wasn’t feeling much comfort or joy. A 34 year old advertising copywriter for Montgomery Ward, May was exhausted and nearly broke. His wife Evelyn was bedridden, on the losing end of a two year battle with cancer. This left Bob to look after their 4 year old daughter, Barbara.

One night, Barbara asked her father, “Why isn’t my mommy like everybody else’s mommy?”

As he struggled to answer his daughter’s question, Bob remembered the pain of his own childhood. A small, sickly boy, he was constantly picked on and called names. But he wanted to give his daughter hope, and show her that being different was nothing to be ashamed of. More than that, he wanted her to know that he loved her and would always take care of her.

He couldn’t afford to buy his daughter a gift for Christmas, so Bob decided to write a special bedtime story just for her (and make a homemade picture book).

In early December, Bob’s wife died.

Though he was heartbroken, he kept working on the book for his daughter. A few days before Christmas, he reluctantly attended a company party at Montgomery Ward. His co-workers encouraged him to share the story he’d written.

After he read it, there was a standing ovation.

Everyone wanted copies of the book.

Montgomery Ward bought the rights to the book from their debt-ridden employee. Over the next six years, at Christmas, they gave away six million copies to shoppers. Every major publishing house in the country was making offers to obtain the book.

In an incredible display of goodwill, the head of the department store returned all rights to Bob May. Four years later, he became a millionaire.

The bedtime story he wrote for his daughter was titled “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer."
