Today I had the opportunity to attend a Lunch & Learn with Angela Marti, a great appraiser in our area, and it was packed with valuable information!

We went over the new 3.6 forms going into effect this year, along with what appraisers are really looking for when valuing a home. This knowledge helps me better prepare my sellers for successful listings 🏡 and helps my buyers feel confident and informed throughout the process.

We even discussed how to properly dispute an appraisal if needed—such important insight to have in today’s market!

I already go above and beyond by creating detailed appraisal packets for my listings, and continuing education like this helps me serve my clients at the highest level. 💼✨

Always learning. Always growing. Always advocating for my clients. 🙌

Big things are happening at 160 Grand Prix 🏁

Before we share what’s ahead, we want to take a moment to share something close to our hearts.

Last summer, our family experienced a heartbreaking loss. Jason, the owner of 160 Grand Prix, passed away in a tragic car accident. He was deeply loved and is missed more than words can express every single day. This place meant so much to him, and to all of his family and friends.

160 Grand Prix is now back in our family, and we are committed to carrying on Jason’s vision. He always believed this should be a place for fun. A place where families could come together, kids could laugh and play, and memories could be made.

He also had big plans to continue improving the property, and we are honored to be bringing those ideas to life. Right now, we are redoing the putt putt course, paving the parking lot, working to get the batting cages back up and running, and giving everything a fresh coat of paint. All of these changes are inspired by the direction he wanted for this place.

Next season our goal is to make improvements to the carts and adding more fun to the property!

We love this community, and it means everything to us to be able to keep something like this here for everyone to enjoy.

We are planning to reopen after Memorial Day, and we truly cannot wait to welcome you all back.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, and for being part of Jason’s legacy with us 💙

We would love to hear your favorite memories at 160 Grand Prix in the comments.
