Things to do now to make Winter a breeze!

Forget words of affirmation. These are the five love languages of a realtor. 🏡❤️

Signed in twenty minutes. Nothing major on the inspection. Appraised at value. A buyer whose lender already has everything. Clear to close early.

That is the whole list. We are simple people.

Agents — which one is yours? And if you have ever been on the other side of one of these, you know exactly why we react like that. Half of this job is holding your breath waiting for one of these five sentences.

Things nobody tells you until closing week. 🔑

The contract part gets all the attention. The last ten days are where people actually get caught out — and almost none of it is dramatic. It’s a financed sofa. An email that looked right. A moving truck that was already booked.

The wire fraud one is the only genuinely frightening item on this list, and it is worth reading twice. Wire instructions never change by email. If you get an update, call the title company on a number you looked up yourself and read it back to them. People lose entire down payments this way, and it happens quietly.

The rest is just knowing what’s coming.

Save this for whenever you’re under contract — or send it to whoever you know who is right now.

Maine. Montana. South Dakota. Not what anyone guesses. 🚚

The top 10 states people are moving to in 2026, so far:
1.South Carolina
2.Idaho
3.Florida
4.South Dakota
5.North Carolina
6.Arkansas
7.Montana
8.Tennessee
9.Alabama
10.Maine
11.
South Carolina at number one is not the surprise — it has held the top spot six years running. The surprise is the northern half of that list. Cold states, small states, and three of them in the top ten.
Florida is the other story. Its ratio jumped 35 points since last year, which puts it back near the top after a quiet stretch.
One caveat worth saying out loud: this measures where people are searching to move, not completed moves, and it ranks by ratio rather than raw numbers. Texas takes more actual movers than most of this list — it just isn’t growing as fast relative to its size.

The bigger point: national numbers almost never describe your street. What is happening in Portland is its own thing entirely, and it is usually more interesting than the map.
