🎃 Okay, this is TOO fun.

I asked ChatGPT to turn me into the Halloween costume I was MADE to wear based on everything it knows about me… and apparently pink camo hunting Barbie was the obvious answer. 😂🦌💗

Now I want to see YOURS!

Copy this prompt, upload a picture of yourself, and then post your result in my comments 👇

“Based on everything you know about me, turn me into the Halloween costume I was MADE to wear, and put me in the perfect Halloween setting to match. Keep my face recognizable.”

I have a feeling these comments are about to get interesting. 🎃😂

BONUS: If yours is better than mine, I reserve the right to be offended. 🤣

What does a buyer’s agent actually do for you?

When you have your own buyer’s agent, that agent can research comparable sales, help you decide what to offer, explain the paperwork, review inspection findings, track deadlines and negotiate with your interests in mind.

Sometimes the listing agent also works with the buyer. That’s called limited consensual dual agency, and I’ve handled several transactions that way successfully.

Dual agency requires written consent from both sides. It also means the agent must remain neutral and cannot advocate for one client against the other or share either client’s confidential information.

Neither option is automatically wrong. What matters is knowing exactly who represents whom, what duties they owe and how compensation will be handled before you write the offer.

I’ll explain your options plainly so you can choose what makes sense for you.

🏡 ANOTHER ONE CLOSED!

The Phillips have officially got another one! 👀🔨

If you loved watching the transformation of Bates Landing, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on this one.

We just closed on 1920 32nd Street in Haleyville, and I can’t wait to see what they do with it!

If Bates Landing is any indication, this one is going to be GOOD. 👀

Stay tuned… the next transformation is officially underway! 🏡

Earnest money can be confusing to some but,

It is not an extra fee. It’s a deposit that shows the seller you’re serious about following through with the contract.

If the sale closes, that money is normally applied toward what you owe at closing. You aren’t paying it and then losing it. You’re basically parking part of your money while the transaction moves forward.

If the deal falls apart, whether you receive it back depends on the contract, the contingencies and why the transaction ended. It is not automatically refunded, and the seller does not automatically get to keep it either.

The amount is negotiable. Around here, it’s often a flat amount rather than a percentage of the purchase price.

Ask questions before signing, and know exactly when your earnest money could be at risk.

Spring isn’t the only good time to sell a house.

Fall usually brings fewer casual shoppers, but the buyers who are still looking often have a real reason to move: a job change, a lease ending, a growing family or a goal to close before the holidays.

There may also be fewer new listings competing for their attention.

That doesn’t mean every house will sell quickly just because the leaves changed colors. Price, condition and presentation still matter.

But if you’re holding off until spring simply because someone told you that’s the “best” time, waiting may not be necessary.

Are you actually waiting for spring, or are you ready to see what your house could sell for now?

Six counties. One argument.

Franklin, Marion, Winston, Lauderdale, Colbert or Lawrence: which one actually has the best food?

And don’t just name your own county out of loyalty. I want the county AND the restaurant that proves your answer.

No hometown bias. Fight fair. 😂
