August was a big one 🀍

12 happy homeowners. $11.1M funded.

Behind every number is a different story β€” a first home, a move, a new chapter, or the decision to finally buy on your own terms.

Grateful to help make those goals a reality 🏑

I recently got a call from an agent with a client stuck in a bind.

Client was pre-approved. The plan was for their aunt to gift the down payment. Then aunt did the math and could only give $50K. They needed $400K 😳

Worse yet, their current home needs to be vacant to sell. The client said, "fine, we'll rent for a while." Except rent in La Mirada runs $6,500 to $8,000 a month. That's just money burning while they wait to buy the home they want.

This is exactly what Buy Before You Sell was built to solve. Got a client stuck in a story like this? Send me a message, let's find a way through πŸ”‘πŸ€

TOMORROW: Condo deals are chaotic right now, and most agents are finding out the hard way.

If you've had a condo deal blow up recently, it's probably not you, it's the rules that changed underneath you.

Join me TOMORROW and walk away knowing exactly what's changed, what's coming next, and the questions to ask upfront so you're not blindsided in contract πŸ’πŸ”‘

I will lose the deal before I lose my integrity.

Some of you are here for the market insight.
Some of you are here for the honesty.
Some of you are here because someone told you I'd say the quiet part out loud.

22 years in this business. Same values the whole time.

I've watched people get talked into the wrong product, the wrong price, the wrong house β€” all because someone wanted the commission more than they wanted to tell the truth.

I'd rather lose the deal.

So follow along if this is your kind of honest. Unfollow if it's not.

I'll still be here either way β€” same person, every deal, every time.

My family has an Airbnb in Glen Ellen, so we spend a lot of time exploring this little pocket of Sonoma Countyβ€”and every visit reminds me why we love it so much 🀍

If you're planning a Sonoma getaway, don't just stick to the wineries. Venture a little off the beaten path and spend a day in Glen Ellen. From peaceful creekside trails and beautiful vineyard views to sheep grazing through the vines and some of the best wood-fired pizza you'll ever have, it's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile.

Swipe through a few of my favorite spots, save this for your next trip, and send it to someone who's looking for a weekend escape!

Condo rules just changed. Your next deal might not go like your last one πŸ‘€

If you’re an agent working on a condo deal, these changes are worth understanding before you’re in contract.

I’m breaking down what’s already changed, what’s coming next, and the questions agents should be asking early β€” so there are fewer surprises laterπŸ’πŸ”‘

The plans:
✨ Getting pre-approved
πŸ“¦ Packing boxes
πŸ”‘ Getting the keys
πŸ’ƒCelebrating becoming a homeowner

I work with so many successful professionals who assume homeownership is something they'll get around to "eventually."
But sometimes, the only thing standing between "someday" and "this year" is a conversation 🀍

If you've been wondering whether buying on your own is actually possible, let's talk.

Condo financing changed this month β€” and there’s more coming 🏒

If you’re an agent working on a condo deal, the application date, HOA reserves, and insurance requirements can all matter to financing.

The biggest takeaway? Ask the right questions early. It can help you catch potential issues before they become a problem.

Working on a condo deal? Comment β€œCONDO” and I’ll send you my one-page question sheet for listing agents 🀍

Attention business owners: Are you planning to buy a home soon? One simple step can make or break your mortgage approval process. You need to keep a separate business bank account instead of running business income through your personal account πŸ’ΌπŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό

While bank statement programs do exist for personal accounts, mixing your funds makes qualifying much more complicated. Keeping your business finances clean opens up smoother pathways to homeownership.

Are you self employed and ready to see what mortgage options fit your business? Send me a message today to start exploring your options 🩷

I recently hosted a Buy Before You Sell Mastermind for local agents.

The best part wasn't the presentation. It was the Q&A.

That's where the real conversations happened, and where the same lending myths I hear from agents every week started coming up.

The truth is, these misconceptions can keep great buyers on the sidelines or put unnecessary roadblocks in otherwise solid deals.

Swipe through the four myths I hear most often πŸ‘‰

If one of them sounds like a client you're working with right now, send me the scenario. The complicated ones are my favorite 🩷
