🏠🍂 Florida homeowners, here’s your October reminder!

Before you automatically renew your homeowners insurance, take a few minutes to shop around and review your coverage. October can be a great time to see what options are available and make sure your policy still makes sense for your home.

Your home may have changed, the insurance market has changed, and your coverage may need a second look too!

A few things worth checking with your insurance agent:
✔️ Your current premium & deductibles
✔️ Wind/hurricane coverage
✔️ Flood coverage
✔️ Updates you’ve made to your home
✔️ Available discounts
✔️ Whether other carriers may have options for you

And remember — the lowest premium isn’t always the best policy. Make sure you’re comparing the coverage, deductibles and exclusions, too.

I’m always looking for little ways to help my clients be better homeowners — even when it has nothing to do with buying or selling! ❤️🏡

Save this as your October homeownership reminder! 🍁

🍂🎃 Okay Jacksonville… it’s finally time for some FALL FUN! 🎃🍂

Yes, I know… it’s still Florida, so we may need to pretend it’s chilly while drinking our pumpkin coffee in 85° weather. 😂☕️ But there are actually SO many fun things happening around Jacksonville this fall!

I put together a little Jacksonville Fall Bucket List with pumpkin patches, Halloween fun, festivals, markets, family activities, coffee stops, day trips & more! 🧡

Some are right here in Jax, and a few are worth hopping in the car for a little adventure.

📌 SAVE this post for when you hear, “Mom, what are we doing today?” 😂

And PLEASE add your favorites in the comments! 👇
If there’s a local fall event, pumpkin patch, coffee spot or hidden favorite I missed, let me know!

Let’s make the most of fall in Northeast Florida! 🍁🧡

Apparently my mascot is a golden doodle which I find hilariously fitting because in middle school at Kirby Smith I had a gym coach that called me “Poodie”because my hair reminded him of a poodle 😂😂😂🤪 so I started calling him Coach Baldy. The irony is that neither of us were offended 😂🤷‍♀️

Here is the prompt if you wanna hop on the train as well 🤪
“Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide.”

🏡 Saving for a down payment? Make your money work while YOU work toward your goal.

Here’s a simple strategy many future homebuyers overlook:

Instead of letting your savings sit in a traditional account earning very little, consider a high-yield savings account (HYSA).

💰 You deposit your money.
💵 The bank pays you interest.
🏠 You keep saving toward your down payment.
📈 Your interest earns interest, too.

And you don’t necessarily need thousands to get started.

For example, at 4% APY, if you put $5,000 into an account and left it there for a year, you’d earn roughly $200 in interest without making an additional deposit. Keep adding money along the way, and the interest can grow with you.

Want to know what you should be doing NOW to get financially ready to buy a home? Send me a message. I’m happy to help you understand the home-buying process from saving the first dollar to getting the keys. ☕🏡
