There’s just something about this time of year.

The evenings start to feel a little softer, people come out again, and Fair Oaks starts to come back to life.

Food Truck Mania is kicking off again at Fair Oaks Park, and it’s one of those easy nights you don’t have to overthink. Just show up, grab something good to eat, and enjoy being out.

This month, Katie Yount is hosting a Women in Business Expo, which makes it even more special. You’ll get to meet some incredible local women who are building, creating, and showing up in this community every day.

I’ll be out there too, and I’d love to see you.

Come by, say hi, grab dinner, and stay awhile. Bring a friend, or just come as you are. That’s the best part about nights like this.

First Thursday of the month through October

Putting this out into the universe because sometimes the right homes never make it to the MLS,

I’m currently working with two buyers with specific needs, and the MLS filters just aren’t catching everything.

Buyer #1 is looking for a home with accessibility features, such as wider doorways, accessible bathrooms, and, ideally, a walk-in or open shower. Areas could include Arden Arcade, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, or Roseville.

Buyer #2 is downsizing and looking for a single-story home of 1,600 to 2,000 square feet on a large lot, ideally with most of the space in the backyard for gardening. Preferred areas include Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, or Carmichael.

If you’re a homeowner considering selling something like this, or an agent with a property coming up that might be a good fit, please reach out to me privately.

I’d love to connect the right home with the right people.

I am proud to share that my book is officially published and now live on Amazon.

Writing has always been natural for me. Publishing a book, however, was one of the most demanding professional assignments I have taken on. It required cutting, restructuring, refining, and organizing years of experience into something clear and useful for homeowners navigating a major life transition.

This is not a book about decluttering.

It is about what truly happens when someone decides their home no longer fits their life.

Downsizing brings emotional complexity, family dynamics, identity shifts, financial considerations, and practical logistics that often feel overwhelming. Selling a home is rarely just a transaction. It is a transition.

As a long time real estate professional with experience in lending, transactions, and investment property, I wrote this book to meet homeowners at the very beginning of that process. Before the sign goes in the yard. Before the pressure builds. Before decisions are rushed.

My focus moving forward is serving clients in this stage of life with clarity, structure, and steadiness.

I also see this as a valuable resource for estate attorneys, financial advisors, and professionals who support families navigating life transitions. I am currently exploring collaborative workshops that bring these conversations into one room.

If you would like to preview the first chapter, Amazon allows a sample view online. I welcome thoughtful feedback and reviews.

Publishing this book represents a step toward fully owning the professional role I have been building for years.

And I am just getting started.

Holding this book in my hands surprised me.

Not because I didn’t think I could write one.
But because I didn’t fully realize how much I had inside me to offer.

This is not a decluttering book.
It is not a quick checklist.

It is about the emotional and practical realities of moving from a long held home. Estate conversations. Family dynamics. Blended families. The small items in a garage that can quietly turn into major conflict. The decisions people rush. The conversations they avoid.

Downsizing is never just about stuff.

There were days I sat at my desk for 13 hours. Weeks where I worked from morning until late at night organizing chapters, cutting pages, rewriting, formatting, learning layout, and turning a flood of experience into something structured and useful.

It stretched me.

And now it is real.

This book is also a tool. A resource I can use alongside financial advisors, estate attorneys, lenders, insurance professionals, senior placement specialists, and health and longevity experts who serve people in transition.

They can place this in the hands of their clients.
We can collaborate.
We can guide families together with structure and clarity instead of crisis.

That part excites me just as much as publishing it.

This grounded me in the kind of real estate advisor I truly am. Calm. Strategic. Relational. Not transactional.

Sometimes we do not realize how much wisdom we are carrying until we commit to building something with it.

I will share the link as soon as it goes live.

For now, I am simply marking the moment.

High end does not mean stiff and robotic.

If anything, luxury done well feels confident and relaxed.

California first-time buyers 👀

There’s a down payment assistance program that can help with up to 20% down.

No, not everyone qualifies.
Yes, it’s worth checking.

Comment DREAM if you’re in California and I’ll connect you with a lender who can explain everything.

Content day with the crew.
Strategy, creativity, and a lot of laughter in between takes.

I take this work seriously but I don’t take myself too seriously.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Fair Oaks, I’m building momentum behind the scenes so you show up strong when it matters.

Many people are living in homes that no longer fit their lives because they’re holding onto a low interest rate.
And I get it. That rate feels like gold.

But when a home no longer fits, it quietly affects your quality of life.
Stress. Frustration. Feeling stuck.

This clip is from a conversation I had with Allison Hoppe of about exactly that.
Not pushing anyone to move. Not saying you should.
Just reminding you that you have options.

A conversation with a lender doesn’t mean you’re making a move.
It means you’re getting clarity.

Things are figureoutable.
We’re here to help you think it through.
