Some houses take a weekend. This one took four years. 🏡

I met her back in 2022, showing her houses while she bounced between the midwest, DC, and Jackson for work…not really house hunting so much as what I like to call a plan to plan, if you will. No urgency, just... future tense.

Fast forward to now: she’s married, there’s a 1-year-old with the kind of cheeks that should honestly be illegal, and suddenly the plan had a deadline.

Here’s the fun part…she wanted an old house with character, close to downtown and all Jackson has to offer, all the charm. He wanted the suburbs, space, no close neighbors, and, I cannot stress this enough, a man cave. So basically I was house hunting for two different people who happened to be married to each other, which is its own kind of Olympic sport.

We chased it from Belhaven to Fondren to NE Jackson ( some dabbling in the burbs). Lost one in a bidding war and thought our hearts were broken, until we realized that house was too small anyway. Let another one go because *plot twist* shared plumbing is not a personality trait you want in a home. We weren’t getting picky, just obviously avoiding the “who’s poo is this” convo, and rightfully so.

Then the clock started actually mattering: THEY HAD TO BE HERE, NOW!. So I did what I always do, worked the phones and called in every favor with my agent network. Toured and video’d 5 houses in a single day, 3 of them off-market, because when clients need results, the MLS is only half the story.

And that’s how we found this one. She knew the second she saw the facade. He knew the second he saw the 3-car garage and his very own home office. Turns out you can want completely different things and still recognize the same house the moment you see it.

There’s a reason none of the other ones worked out. They weren’t THIS. Welcome home, you three! 🔑👨‍👩‍👧

Every time: "What are you working on at your house?" And "were you like everyday?"

Spoiler: I've had my Realtor clothes on underneath this whole time. 👗➡️👔

While you were picturing me poolside, I actually sold 6 houses and helped 5 families get their new keys. One was off-market (story coming soon 👀). One was my first-time buyer…I definitely teared up a little. And one was a dual agency deal, because apparently I hate free time.

So occasionally the pool, but not the house, never the house, (its too HAWT)! But go ahead, ask me literally anything else.

Thinking about your next move this fall? Let's talk. 🏡

Closing day hit different this time. 🏡✨

Repeat clients. Second time they've let me find them a home, which either means I did a great job the first time or they have shockingly low standards and just keep coming back anyway. I'll take it either way. Oh — and closing day happened to be birthday, so I basically gifted him a house, no big deal, you're welcome.

This one had me representing both sides, buyers AND sellers, which means I spent weeks playing therapist, translator, and referee in a transaction I was also, somehow, the only agent in the room. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys talking to themselves. Turns out juggling two perspectives at once is kind of my thing.

In between the logistics, there was something genuinely special going on. Multiple offers, zero surprise...more than one buyer tried to make this house theirs, which tells you everything about the kind of home it is. The sellers were only the second owners, and they renovated it in 1987 and raised their whole family inside those walls. Decades of birthdays, dinners, arguments about paint colors, all of it lived here.

Also, shoutout to Jenny Breaux, Mortgage Specialist, Orion Financial NMLS #1575081 for lending like a professional and a friend, and for delivering zero last-minute surprises. In this business that's basically a magic trick, and I will be sending flowers.

Now it's someone else's turn. A baby girl is due any day now, and she'll get to grow up in a house that's already been loved hard for almost 40 years. No pressure, house.

Welcome to the neighborhood, you two. Thanks for trusting me twice... turns out it pays off. 🎂🔑😎

I started by fixing the windows…
and now I’m here.

The windows need a top coat so it’s time for a new trim color that will work NOW AND WITH WHATEVER FUTURE HAYLEY decides to repaint the house - in like 15 years - no pressure.

Then I thought, well if I paint the shutters, will it calm down my glow in the dark Electric Salmon? Or am I just creating a watermelon house?! 🍉 🏡

I’m stuck, so give me all your ideas, color schemes, and internet trolling advice…

HELL, I may just let yall vote after I have some options AND DO WHAT THE INTERNET TELLS ME.

So here’s your chance, to boss me around !

Check out one of my favorite small businesses, and not just bc she’s my bestie, she saves me SOOOO much TIME, BRAIN POWER, and $$$!

I started redoing my windows… and now I fully understand why painters charge what they do 😅

This is not the fun part of renovation — it’s the scraping, sanding, caulking, priming… and doing it all over again.

But this is the work that actually protects your house:
keeps water out, prevents rot, and maintains value over time 💰

Also… yes, we will be addressing the electric salmon situation.

Stay tuned because now I have to pick a trim color… and that feels like a much bigger commitment 😬
