There’s something pretty magical about watching the sky fill with hot air balloons. 🎈

We’re excited to be part of it this year by sponsoring a balloon launch and glow, and we’d love to see you there!

Come spend the morning with us to watch the balloons launch and fly across Ogden Valley. Or head up in the evening for balloon glows, food trucks, music, and one of those perfect nights that feels a little different from the ordinary.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Grab something good to eat, stick around for the glow, and come say hi to us while you’re there.

✨ Hot air balloons
🎶 Live music
🌮 Food trucks
🔥 Balloon glow
❤️ A really good excuse to get outside together

Save the date for this Saturday and watch the sky with us. 🎈

Real estate doesn’t have borders.
Neither does hustle.

My clients had a dream. To leave their life in Utah behind them, and join the family they had in Ireland.

I really like to see dreams come true.

So we made a plan. The sellers worked on making my suggested repairs to their North Ogden home, and I got to work on building a marketing plan that would get their house sold.

Multiple offers with a smooth sale from start to finish. Exactly what should happen when preparation meets the right strategy.

And now my clients are in Ireland and it’s no longer a dream, just their new life.

Congratulations to Bria and Tim! Thank you for trusting me to see this through. Wishing you all the best in Dublin!

The house the Cold War left behind.

Built in 1964 with over sized windows, vaulted ceilings, dramatic pass-through stone fireplace, this is timeless architecture at its finest.

If you have been in this home you know how truly unforgettable it is, with surprise features such as an interior 2 story waterfall, a safe room and interior shooting range.

The garage is over 1,160 SF, heated with plumbing, floor drains, and both front and rear overhead garage doors.

The landscaping is wild and lush and includes a fresh water spring that could be turned into an amazing focal feature of the yard. And with 1.38 acres you have room to do a lot with your yard.

A house like this is more than just a listing, it’s an experience. So experience the house in its original era, and scan the QR code to hear a custom playlist of the greatest hits from the years it was built.

Not just a house. This is a whole mood. Enjoy it with the sound turned up.

1964 changed everything.

Arguably one of the most pivotal years in US history made us all view everything differently; music, international relations, pop culture and what it meant to be American.

And in Ogden, a home was built that bucked convention, and still refuses to look like anything else on the market.

Vaulted wood ceilings, walls of glass, a 2 story indoor waterfall, and a few other Cold War era surprises you will have to see for yourself.

This home will be listed tomorrow and trust me, it’s timeless.

This house deserved its own Netflix miniseries.

There were twists, Unexpected obstacles and
a rotating list of characters and story lines that felt like they came straight out of a drama.

Good developers, bad developers, ranchers that made “Yellowstone” look like a series for toddlers, shady state senators, neighbor drama, and lovely Buddhist monks; they all had their scenes.

But here’s what didn’t happen…

We didn’t panic.
We didn’t chase the price down.
We didn’t quit.
And my clients and I never stopped believing in our end goal.

It would have been easier to just lower the price. I was told by so many agents to just slash the price and walk away. But I knew the true value of the property and was not going to let my clients miss out on several hundreds of thousands of dollars to make my job easier.

I don’t come to work expecting it to be easy, I come to work prepared to win for my clients.

Today it officially closed at FULL PRICE.

Sometimes the hardest transactions teach you the most about patience, strategy, and keeping everyone focused on the finish line.

Sean and Shannon, thank you for trusting me. It was a big ask when I advised you to stay strong on our path. But the outcome was just as we planned for!

I need your input! I’m working on a project and I need to know, what are your favorite features in your yard, or the yard you dream about?

They can be big features like a pool or pickleball courts, or something less obvious like engineered drip lines that eliminate over head sprinklers. Is it the hammock in a quiet corner, or the plants you liberated from your grandparent’s garden to always remind you of them?

Whatever it is that brings you the most happiness, I’d love to hear about it.
