mel_e_realtor It's a Mountain Tradition to Love Where You Live

Sip and Shop Sunday ☕🍂

This week’s stop: Pure Bean ✨

Now that the mountain chill has officially rolled in, I’ve been finding every excuse to cozy up somewhere warm, and Pure Bean is my go-to. Their fall specialty drinks are the perfect excuse to slow down, wrap your hands around something warm, and watch the pines out the window.

It’s also my favorite spot to get work done. Laptop open, latte in hand, a few quiet hours between showings and school pickup. Some of my best ideas (and offers 😉) have come together at one of those tables.

Stop in, grab a seasonal sip, and stay a while. Tell them Mel sent you 🤍

Big bear gets a lot of hype, but Idyllwild has the stuff that actually makes people stay 🌲

It’s a Halloween parade where the whole town come together (pets included 🐶🎃), always minuted away from your favorite coffe spot and Bumber Park trailhead you hit every weekend ☕️🥾, and all the little things you’d miss immediately if you moved away

You can compare two towns on paper all day, but living here has its own argument 🏔️🏡

That’s a wrap on September in Idyllwild 🌲

This month reminded me why I do what I do. Three homes in escrow and two closed, and every one is a different story ✨🔑

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with something so personal. Real estate has never felt transactional to me and you’re the reason why 💌

If you’re dreaming about your own next chapter, whether that’s a quiet mountain retreat, coastal escape, or space and light in the desert, I’d love to help you find it. Send me a message anytime 📲

Pros and cons of hiring a mountain, ocean & desert girl as your real estate agent 🏔️🌊🌵

Some of my favorite places in the world are pine-covered porch in Idyllwild, a quiet cove on the coast, and a desert sunset that turns everything gold. Each one has taught me something about how people really want to live

That’s what I bring to every client: helping you find the place, and the pace, that feels like you

Thinking about a move to the mountain, the coast, or the desert? My DMs are always open ✨
