Happiest of birthdays to my big sister Jamie Dyer . I’m not quite sure what I would do without you. You are my biggest support, my best friend, my rock, my heart, and everything else in between! I love you!

A day was definitely had at Knott’s! ❤️

Today we celebrated Q and his silent battle with IBD. We conquered 5 roller coasters, squeezed in a few more rides, enjoyed some K-BBQ, and somehow managed to beat the heat.

First time riding GhostRider… and I’m pretty sure I saw my life flash before my eyes. 🤣🤣

Days like today are so important. They remind you to slow down, make memories, and celebrate the victories—big and small. My cup is feeling just a little bit fuller today. 💙

📈 Mortgage rates are at their highest level in over a year… but does that mean you should wait to buy?

Not necessarily.

While higher rates have caused many buyers to hit pause, they’re also creating opportunities we haven’t seen in years. Here in Upland and throughout Southern California, buyers are seeing:
✔️ Less competition
✔️ More negotiating power
✔️ Seller credits and rate buy-down opportunities
✔️ More time to make confident decisions

Every market has its advantages, you just need the right strategy.

I break down what these rising rates mean for buyers, sellers, and homeowners in my newest blog, with a local perspective on the Upland and Inland Empire real estate market.

In all honesty, the best time to buy a home is when it makes financial sense for you.

Not because of the market.
Not because of the headlines.
Not because of interest rates.

The right time is when you’re financially ready, comfortable with the monthly payment, and confident in your decision.

Talk with a real estate professional. Create a game plan. Build toward your goal. When the opportunity is right for you, you’ll be ready to make your move.

Buying a home isn’t about timing the market, it’s about preparing for your future.

When your sister says she needs some sister time… you go. ❤️

What was supposed to be a quick same-day trip turned into a nightmare at 2:00 a.m. in Nipton, CA.

After waiting over two hours for USAA roadside assistance with no help, I was left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, I found Tapias Towing & Tire out of Baker, and they came through when I needed it most. They got me back on the road safely, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Huge thank you to the team at Tapias Towing & Tire for your professionalism, kindness, and quick response. You turned a stressful night into one with a happy ending. 🙏🚗

Sometimes the best people show up when you least expect it.

I hope takes a look at how this experience was handled, because no one should be left stranded for hours in the middle of the desert at midnight.

🏡 5 Things to Check Before Buying a Home 👀

Everyone knows to look at the kitchen and bathrooms… but there are a few things that can make a much bigger difference long-term.

✨ 1. Know the Neighborhood
Don’t just tour the house—explore the area. Visit the grocery stores, library, parks, coffee shops, and local gyms to see if it fits your lifestyle.

☀️ 2. Natural Light & Layout
Paint and flooring are easy updates. Changing the layout? Not so much. Pay attention to how the home flows and how much natural light it gets throughout the day.

🔍 3. Hidden Maintenance
Take a close look at the roof, windows, plumbing, flooring, HVAC system, and other major components. Small issues can quickly turn into expensive repairs.

📈 4. Think About Resale Value
Even if you plan to stay for years, consider what future buyers will love: a great location, storage, parking, natural light, and a functional, timeless design.

🌿 5. Outdoor Space Matters
Whether it’s a backyard, patio, or balcony, check the privacy, sunlight, condition, and how you’ll actually use the space.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Looking beyond the cosmetic finishes can help you avoid costly surprises and make a smarter purchase.

📩 Thinking about buying? Let’s create a game plan and find a home that’s the right fit for both your lifestyle and your future.

Happy Father’s Day to the man who changed the course of our family forever. Every day, you choose to be present, intentional, patient, and loving.You are breaking generations of patterns and creating something better for Aaron. You are giving him the kind of childhood that every child deserves: one filled with love, laughter, guidance, safety, and unwavering support. You show him that being a man means being kind, strong, dependable, and emotionally present.

Thank you for every sacrifice, every late night, every lesson, every laugh, every hug, and every moment you’ve poured into our family. Thank you for showing up, every single day, even when no one is watching.

You are the husband I prayed for and the father our son is so blessed to have. We are better because of you. We love you endlessly and are so grateful that we get to walk through this life by your side.

Happy Father’s Day to the very best dad. ❤️
