So grateful for the kind words and for the chance to help Zach and Drema find their way home. Being able to jump in on a Sunday, get them into the house they wanted to see, and move quickly to get everything filed that same day is exactly what I strive for as an agent. Real estate is about more than buying and selling, it is about showing up, advocating hard, and making the process as smooth as possible for my clients.

If your in the market to buy or sell a home in the Houghton Lake area, give me a call today!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of handing over the keys and knowing you've helped someone take the next step toward their dreams. 🏡✨

I'm so excited to celebrate another successful closing and even more grateful for the incredible clients who trusted me throughout the process. Being a part of such an important milestone in someone's life is truly one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

I also want to take a moment to say how thankful I am to be part of the NextHome Up North family. The support, mentorship, and team culture here have helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I'm proud to work alongside agents who genuinely put people first every single day.

Congratulations to my wonderful clients on their new chapter! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. If you're thinking about buying or selling, I'd love the opportunity to help you achieve your own Up North dreams.

A few years ago, sellers could say "no" to just about everything a buyer asked for.

No repairs.
No concessions.
No negotiation.

Today? The market looks a little different.

Zillow says 67% of sellers pay some or all of their buyer's closing costs.

That doesn't mean every seller should do it. But it does mean the most successful sellers today understand something important:

The market has shifted. And that's means negotiation is back on the table.

Sometimes helping with closing costs makes sense. Sometimes another concession is the better move. But it’s normal for today’s market to require some give and take.

The key is knowing what buyers are asking for in your area, and which compromises are actually worth making.
