One of my favorite places to walk in Knoxville…

Lakeshore Park is 185 acres right in the heart of Knoxville, with walking trails, beautiful views, playgrounds, pickleball courts and sports fields.

And here’s a fun fact I didn’t know: Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash and Carl Perkins performed a concert here for patients in 1972, when the property was home to the Lakeshore Mental Health Institute.

A little Knoxville history on my Saturday walk.

What’s your favorite place to walk in Knoxville?

Last week, my 17-year-old boys made fun of my reels AND weren’t answering my texts.

My solution? I told them I’d start tagging them in my reels if they didn’t respond. 😂

Apparently, they are completely unfazed.

They informed me that tagging them “doesn’t even do anything” and it won’t show up in their friends’ feeds.

So now I have two questions:

1. Are they right?
2. More importantly… what’s Plan B?

Parents of teenagers, I know somebody has a better idea.

What would YOU do? 👇

The market is not failing. It is becoming less forgiving.

Inventory is up. Buyers have more choices. Homes are taking longer to sell. And prices remain relatively stable, depending on the area and price point.

So what does that mean?

For sellers: price matters. Condition matters. Presentation matters. We have to be buttoned up from day one.

For buyers: there is opportunity. More choices and longer market times can create room to negotiate.

And here is the important part—a slower market does not mean every home is negotiable. The homes that are priced right, show well and check the boxes can still move quickly.

No one can predict what rates or the market will do next. We can look at the data we have today, understand the specific property and make a smart decision from there.

There is opportunity in every market. You just have to know where to find it.

My 17-year-old boys have informed me that my reels are embarrassing.

Fair enough.

Here is my issue: they also do not respond to the texts I send to the phones that I pay for.

So I gave them fair warning: if you do not respond to my texts, I am going to start tagging you in my reels.

They are still not responding.

So, parents of teenagers… what would you do?

A. Accept that teenagers do not text their mothers back
B. Start tagging them

I spent last week at my son’s wakesurf competition, and one thing really stuck with me.

Being great at anything takes a ridiculous amount of repetition.

These kids practice the same trick over and over until they land it. Then competition day comes—rain, different boat, different water, nerves.

You still have to surf.

Real estate is no different. Markets change, negotiations change, things rarely go exactly as planned.

And when you are buying or selling a home, you want someone beside you who has done the reps and knows how to adjust when they do.

Fun Fact Friday: My office looked a little different this week.

A few days at a wakesurf competition, work happening remotely, two offers currently out for clients, and now headed to Friday night football.

Real estate does not always happen behind a desk. Neither does life.

Some weeks the two just happen right alongside each other.

Happy Friday!

I hear this all the time right now: “I’m waiting for interest rates to come down.”

Fair enough. But there’s another side to that decision.

Today, buyers may have more choices and potentially less competition. If rates come down, more buyers could decide it’s time to jump back into the market.

So, What Would You Do?

Buy now with a higher rate and potentially less competition — or wait for a lower rate and risk competing with more buyers?

Tell me below.

My boys turning 17 this weekend had me thinking about all the things I wish I knew when they were little…and all the things I have learned since.

Not just from parenting. From relationships, business, mistakes, successes and simply living life.

A few things I know now and hope my kids carry with them:

• Love people for who they are. Do not dislike them for who they are not.
• Stay in your lane.
• You are not responsible for anyone else’s emotions, and they are not responsible for yours.
• You cannot control other people. You can control your response.
• Respond. Do not react.
• Boundaries are not bad. They are healthy.
• Do the hard work. Have the hard conversations.
• Failure is growth. Fail forward.
• Talk about the good, the bad and the not-so-pretty.
• Always circle back after a disagreement.
• Validate feelings even when they are not your own.
• Shut up and listen. You do not always need to fix it.
• When someone is acting out, look for what might be hurting underneath.
• Give appreciation. Show appreciation. Do not just think it.
• Acknowledge your blessings while you are living them.
• When someone you care about pops into your mind, call them or text them.
• Be stingy with your time. You cannot get it back.
• Say yes when your kids want their friends at your house.

I definitely do not have it all figured out. I am still learning, still growing and still getting things wrong.

Maybe that is another lesson in itself.

What would you add to the list?

Happy 17th birthday to my twin boys, Britton and Brogan. 💙💙

Shortly after they were born, when I was deep in the fog of premature twins, someone told me, “The days are long, and the years are short.”

I have never forgotten those words. And 17 years later, I am not sure anything has ever felt more true.

I love being your mom. I have love watching you grow, mature, find your own interests, discover who you are, and become two completely different and uniquely wonderful young men.

17. How is that even possible?

Britton and Brogan, I am incredibly proud of you!

Happy 17th birthday, boys. 💙💙

I am looking for a licensed real estate professional to become my right hand—someone who can truly be an extension of me and help us deliver an exceptional experience to our clients.

The right person:

• Loves being part of a team and collaborating
• Has a true heart for serving others
• Has a growth mindset and wants to keep learning
• Is proactive, resourceful and takes ownership
• Loves real estate and working directly with clients
• Can help buyers search, evaluate and tour homes—not simply unlock doors
• Can help prepare, market and care for our listings
• Is available for showings, including evenings and weekends
• Wants to be an important part of growing something great

This is for someone who loves real estate and wants to be deeply involved in the business, the clients and the wins—without necessarily wanting to build an entire real estate business alone.

Basically, I am looking for my right hand… my extension… my mini-me.

And considering I am 4’11”, the “mini” part may be a tall order. 😉

So I am asking my people:

WHO do you know?

If someone immediately came to mind, send them this Reel, tag them below, or introduce us.
