🏡 If I were showing you this Canton home, here are 3 things I’d make sure you didn’t miss…

1️⃣ That primary suite.
It’s oversized, has a walk-in closet, AND a separate vanity area outside the private bath. There’s room to create a real retreat here instead of squeezing everything into one space.

2️⃣ The family room with the fireplace. 🔥
This is the room I can see becoming the heart of the house. Movie nights, holidays, family time… or just finally sitting down after a long day.

3️⃣ That backyard. 🌳
A large yard, refinished patio and a wooded backdrop give you something that isn’t always easy to find in a neighborhood: a little extra privacy.

And yes… the swing set might be included for the right price. 😂 If you saw H2H Cribs, you already know I personally tested it. It works. 😂

But here’s what really makes this one worth a look:

📍 Carriage Hills in Canton
🏫 Plymouth-Canton Community Schools
🛏️ 4 bedrooms | 2.5 baths
🏡 Partially finished lower level
💰 Priced under $400,000

It’s been well cared for, there’s plenty of space to work with, and you have the opportunity to make it your own over time.

Plus, you’re minutes from shopping, restaurants, parks and so many of the everyday conveniences that make Canton such a popular place to call home.

📍 6023 Beaufort Dr., Canton

Now tell me: which one are you checking out first — the primary suite, the fireplace or that backyard? 👀❤️

🏡 DERICA’S COZY CORNER: CREATE A DROP ZONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

If backpacks, shoes, jackets, keys and mail somehow end up EVERYWHERE, you may not need everyone in the house to suddenly become more organized. 😂

You might just need a better place for everything to land.

And no, you don’t need a big beautiful mudroom to make it work!

A few hooks for backpacks and jackets, a basket for shoes and a designated spot for keys and mail can turn even a small entryway into a functional drop zone.

For a busy family, you can take it a step further with individual hooks, baskets or cubbies so everyone has a place for the things they use every day.

❤️ My Cozy Corner rule?

Organize your home around how your family ACTUALLY lives, not how you think your home is supposed to function.

If everybody walks through the garage door and drops their stuff there… guess where the drop zone belongs? 😂

Your home should work for the people who live in it.

👉 Swipe through for a few simple ideas!

What’s the one thing that ALWAYS seems to get dropped by the door at your house? 🏡❤️

❤️ CLIENT LOVE: OUR GEORGIA PEACH

There are some clients who mean a little something extra. ❤️

We’ve known Georgia for well over 10 years, going all the way back to our Zumba days, and she is truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful and compassionate people we know.

She is the kind of person who is ALWAYS doing for someone else. Back in our Zumba days, someone could ask where she had just come from, and Georgia might turn around and pay for that person to try their first class.

That’s our Georgia Peach. 🍑❤️

So when she called and trusted Hearts to Homes to sell her home, it meant a lot to us. For once, we had the opportunity to take care of someone who spends so much of her life taking care of others.

Georgia trusted our advice, followed our recommendations to prepare her beautiful home for the market, and the results followed:
🏡 Multiple offers
❤️ Sold over asking price
🔑 Successfully closed

But this one was about more than the numbers.

It was about helping someone we care about move into her next chapter and knowing that she trusted us to guide her through it.

Georgia, thank you for your beautiful review and for trusting Hearts to Homes with your home. It was truly our pleasure to finally get the opportunity to do something for YOU. ❤️

Thinking about selling your home? The preparation and strategy you put in place before you hit the market can make a difference.

Send us a message and let’s talk about your next move.

🍂 SAVE THIS ONE… because somehow fall sneaks up on us every single year. 😂❤️

A few important dates to have on your calendar as we head into the last part of 2026:

🍁 Fall officially begins September 22
⏰ Clocks fall back November 1
❄️ Winter officially begins December 21

And yes, I’m already thinking about fall leaves, cozy houses and all the things that come with a Michigan season change. ❤️

📌 SAVE this post so you have the dates when you need them, and SHARE it with somebody who will absolutely forget to change their clocks in November. 😂

Which one are you most ready for: FALL 🍂 or are you already counting down to WINTER? ❄️

🏡 COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: CANTON, MICHIGAN ❤️

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Canton, one of the first things to understand is just how much VARIETY you’ll find here.

Canton is a big community, and one area can look and feel completely different from another.

You’ll find established subdivisions with ranches and colonials, condos and townhomes, newer construction, and areas like Cherry Hill Village with a completely different streetscape and housing style.

There’s also plenty happening outside the neighborhoods.

Places like Summit on the Park and Heritage Park offer recreation right in the community, while Canton’s location gives residents convenient access to Plymouth, Northville, Livonia, Novi, Ann Arbor, Metro Airport and other parts of Southeast Michigan.

But here’s something we always want Canton home buyers to understand:
📍 Don’t shop Canton by ZIP code alone.

Two homes with a Canton address can have very different:
🏡 Housing styles and ages
🏡 Subdivision or HOA considerations
🏡 Property taxes
🏡 School assignments
🏡 Proximity to shopping, recreation, work and the places you visit every day.

That’s why finding the right community is about more than finding a house that checks your boxes.

The question is: does the LOCATION fit the way you actually live?

❤️ Not sure which Southeast Michigan community might fit you best?

Take our Find Your Fit quiz and start narrowing it down. Comment QUIZ and we’ll send you the link.

And if Canton is already on your list…you may want to keep an eye on this page tomorrow. 👀🏡

We have a Canton home we’re taking you inside before Saturday’s OPEN HOUSE.

The swing set could possibly be included for the right price. 😂

Real estate is SO glamorous. 😂🏡

You see the closing photos, pretty houses, cute outfits and sold signs.

What you don’t see?

Shelly and me wandering around a house trying to figure out WHERE IN THE WORLD the water meter is. 😂

Because this job is a whole lot more than opening doors and showing pretty houses.

One minute we’re negotiating contracts.

The next we’re talking a buyer off the ledge.

Then we’re dealing with inspections, appraisals, repairs, mysterious lockboxes…and apparently going on a scavenger hunt for a water meter. 😂

And somehow, we still have to look like we know exactly what we’re doing.

Spoiler alert: sometimes we’re figuring it out right along with you. 😂

That’s real estate behind the scenes.

Not always glamorous.
Almost never predictable.
But we wouldn’t trade it. ❤️

At Hearts to Homes, we take the WORK seriously.

Ourselves? Not quite as much. 😂

🏡 Buying, selling or building in Southeast Michigan?

We’d love to help you through all the glamorous…and not-so-glamorous parts.

DERICA’S COZY CORNER: YOUR SEPTEMBER HOME RESET

September in Michigan is funny.

One day the AC is running, the next morning you’re looking at the thermostat wondering if it’s too early to turn the heat on. 😂

Before we get all the way into fall, here are 5 little things worth checking around the house:
🏡 Check or change your HVAC filter.
After working hard all summer, it may be ready for a fresh one before heating season begins.

🔥 Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
It takes a couple of minutes. Test them and replace batteries if needed.

🧺 Check your dryer vent.
And I mean more than cleaning the lint trap. Make sure the vent and exterior exhaust are clear too.

🍂 Take a quick walk around the OUTSIDE of your house.
Look at your gutters and downspouts, check for branches hanging near the roof, and pay attention to anything you may want handled before the leaves start falling and Michigan weather starts doing what Michigan weather does. 😂

❤️ And then do ONE thing that has absolutely nothing to do with maintenance.

Put out the fall wreath.
Bring out your favorite blanket.
Decorate the porch.
Switch up your bedding.

Or put Franken Berry and Boo Berry on top of the refrigerator like somebody I know. 😂

Because yes, taking care of your home matters.

But so does actually ENJOYING the home you work so hard to take care of. ❤️

So that’s your September Cozy Corner assignment: check a few things off the list…and then do something that makes home feel good.

💬 What’s the first sign of fall that shows up at YOUR house?
