if you are like me and daydream about a quiet countryside life but still want the cities at your fingertips, pull up a chair for a sec.

because you can take the girl out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl. and honestly? you shouldn’t have to pick one.

that’s what living in Dayton actually feels like.

mornings quiet in the way only cornfields and river roads can be. Elm Creek Park Reserve basically your backyard, with the trails and the swans and all of it. the kind of neighborhood where the kids know each other and summer nights run a little long.

and then when the city version of you needs out? Maple Grove minutes away for the errands and the good coffee. downtown Anoka for a slow riverfront afternoon. and hello, North Loop date nights with the girls. the country quiet and the city buzz, both on the table.

it’s newer construction without the cookie-cutter feeling. room to breathe without losing the parts of you that still love a good night out in the city.

14213 Dayton is exactly that. the home where BOTH versions of you get to exist. 🤍

is this the daydream you keep circling back to? come find me and let’s talk about what your move could look like.

Mom. Business owner. CEO extraordinaire. Keeper of the snacks, the schedules, the tiny socks that never have a match, and apparently everyone’s emotional regulation.

So no — when it comes to moving, you do not need 1,001 things on your to-do list. You need one.

Here it is: find out whether your lender would require you to sell your current home in order to close on the next one.

That’s it. That’s the step.

Because that single answer tells you what’s actually possible. It tells you whether you can buy first and move on your timeline, whether you could carry both for a beat, or whether selling comes first. Everything else — the touring, the packing, the “where does the dog go on closing day” — gets so much simpler once you know which path is even on the table.

You don’t have to figure out the whole staircase today. Just the first step.

Cody and I have been having the conversation lately. The one where you love your home and also kind of can’t stand it anymore.

We love our community. Our kid’s happiness matters way more than just more space, and let’s be really real, our parent friends we see every week are also a big factor in our happiness and our own sense of community as parents.

And also? Space and function matter too. It’s how we show up as the parents and partners we want to be. I need an office. We need a guest room. We want another bedroom for a sibling for August someday. And I’m not willing to trade our community to get them.

I’ll be honest…

I do this for a living, for nearly 10 years, and the first conversation felt overwhelming thinking of the how. So I get it. Like I REALLY get it. But when you go step by step, that’s where clarity starts.

Maybe you’re right there too. And maybe you haven’t started because the how feels like too much. Selling while you’re still living in it. Timing it around the kids. Not knowing where you land in between.

It doesn’t have to blow up your whole world. That’s literally my job: keep it simple, keep your kids steady, keep the joy in it (yes, the joy).

I’m opening space for 2 new clients this month.

So let me ask you what I ask the people I love: what changes for you if this is the month you finally figure out if a move is possible? Whether this year or next.

Comment “Nest” to start the convo.

This audio was too good not to use.

Really though, running a business with people’s lives at the center of it can take you unexpected places and the things we hear and handle can certainly be WILD, like how your head feels after riding the corkscrew at valley fair kind of wild 🎢

BUT

Knowing why you are in it, why you keep coming back and getting to work with clients who become friends (or friends who become clients) makes all the chaos a bit easier to figure out.

AND

In order to have this and that, you need the right foundation of your business from the start.

I just listed a duplex in Whittier and honestly? I keep thinking about who’s going to end up living here.
It’s this 1905 charmer on a tree-lined street — you can walk to Lake of the Isles, grab coffee at Spyhouse, pick up dinner at The Wedge. Hardwood floors throughout. Gorg. 🥰

Here’s the thing: both tenants are moving out end of June. So if you’ve been sitting on the idea of house hacking, or you’re tired of rent checks disappearing into someone else’s equity, or you just want a duplex that actually cash flows — this is it.

Upper unit has 3 bedrooms. Lower has 1. Everything’s separated — boilers, electric, hot water. Tenants cover gas and electric, you handle water and trash.

Pure investment? Stack an additional ~$24,422 to your yearly income.

You could live in one and rent the other. You could rent both and build equity while someone else pays your mortgage. You could move your parents into one and still have your own space. Or maybe you choose to short term or mid term rent out the 1/1 and long term rent the top to add more income in. Just as a reminder I charged $2400 a month for my 1/1 furnished rental just a year ago. The options are actually endless here.

I’m doing 2 open houses opening weekend so you can walk through both units without waiting on tenant schedules. Come see it from 11-1 today and tomorrow.

DM me or call 612.432.0067 to chat about it.
