Going live TOMORROW on the Northside! This is my seller's childhood home and this was always the "gathering house". Birthday parties, Thanksgiving, cousins fishing in the pond and helping her Dad with his sprawling vegetable garden.

Many of the bigger systems like the HVAC and roof have been recently replaced, but the interior is still full of the original sixties charm.

Please share and help me put the word out about this unique place!

People tend to have very strong opinions about homeowners associations—you’re either grateful for the rules or determined never to live under them.

But I think there’s a happy middle ground that deserves more attention: enjoying the freedom of a neighborhood without an HOA while still maintaining your property out of pride and respect for your neighbors.

No neighborhood is perfect, and neither are the people living in it. But freedom, personal responsibility and a little grace can coexist.

I shared some thoughts about what being a good neighbor can look like—with or without an HOA.

Ask a group of homeowners how they feel about homeowners associations, and you’ll probably hear some strong opinions. Some people appreciate the consistency an HOA can provide. They like knowing there are established standards for how properties are maintained and clear procedures when a home begi...

One of the best parts of helping someone buy a home is getting to see how they make it their own—and I knew this transformation would be especially fun to watch!

My recent client Kamila is a professional designer and the talent behind Level Up Design, so it’s no surprise that she turned her townhome’s blank foyer into this warm, polished welcome. The lighting, wood accents, artwork and thoughtful styling completely transformed the space.

I know she isn’t stopping with the foyer so stay tuned, because I have a feeling there will be plenty more beautiful reveals to come! 🏡✨

In my effort to make my neighborhood feel like a community again, I’ve been quietly organizing a series of traveling cocktail parties in the neighborhood and I have my first one this weekend!  We have about 20 neighbors who have signed up to be guests and they’ll be making stops at four different host houses for a signature cocktail and a small bite. Each stop is only for about 40 minutes. (We have organized a carpool with designated drivers.) 

Thank you to Niam 😍 for handling designing these beautiful cards for the tour. (The other side has details about the hosts and the cocktails they’re serving.)

I’ll report back and let you know how it goes in case you want to organize one for your own neighborhood!

8 showing requests. Only 2 preapproved buyers.

I’m the listing broker on a property where my seller is elderly, so before I approve a showing, I require the buyer’s agent to provide a preapproval letter or proof of funds.

So far, 8 agents have requested showings.

Only 2 could provide it.

The other 6 had not yet verified whether their buyers were financially qualified to purchase the home.

That means 75% of the agents who wanted access to my seller’s home were attempting to show it to an unvetted buyer.

That should concern consumers.

Before your agent starts opening doors, one of the very first conversations should be about your ability to purchase. Not only does preapproval establish a realistic price range—it means that when you find the right house, you’re actually prepared to act.

In a market with thousands of licensed agents competing for your business, having a license and practicing real estate professionally are not the same thing.

If you’re a buyer, get preapproved before you start touring homes.

And choose an agent who wouldn’t have it any other way.

Professional representation starts before the first showing.

👀 Your TRIM Notice Has Entered the Chat…

If you own a home in Duval County, there’s a good chance a very official-looking piece of mail just showed up from the Property Appraiser.

Don’t toss it in the junk pile. Especially if you bought your home last year.

Your TRIM notice shows your newly assessed property value and projected property taxes — and it can give you an early heads-up about something nobody enjoys:

💸 A mortgage escrow shortage.

I put together a quick breakdown of what your TRIM notice means, what you should check in your mortgage account, and what to do now if something doesn’t look right.

👉 Read the full breakdown here:

And if you look at yours and think, “Allison, I have no idea what I’m looking at,” send it my way. 😂 I’m always happy to help you make sense of it.

The County Property Appraiser sends out its “Truth in Millage” notice during the last half of August every year and this is your “heads up” before the actual property tax bill comes out in November. If you bought a house in 2021, this is especially something to pay close attention to because...

We’ll get through August together 🙏

I have two buyers shopping for a house in Murray Hill/Lake Shore/other Westside areas with original character up to $250,000. Size unimportant. Ideally something that has been lovingly maintained but may technically be "outdated". No flips, grey LVP floors, or shined up turds.

Yes to granny kitchens with wood cabinets, funky colored bathrooms and old hardwood floors.

Anyone have something coming up? I think we've reviewed everything currently on the market.

Call/text me at 904-210-8387 if you might have something that fits the bill.
