How to Decide Between a Starter Home and a Forever Home
Starter home or forever home? Here's the thing — most buyers approach this question backward. They start by browsing listings and then try to figure out what they're actually looking for. But the starter-versus-forever decision really needs to come first, because it shapes everything: your budget,...

The worst real estate advice sounds right until it costs you money.

I hear the same myths every week. From clients, from DMs, from people repeating something they read online without checking if it actually held up.

Some of these are harmless. Others have cost people tens of thousands or set their plans back by months.

I'd rather be the agent who gives you the honest answer now than the one who stays quiet and lets you learn it the hard way.

If something on this list surprised you, send me a message. I'd love to hear which one (and answer the questions you've been holding onto).

👋🏼 If we haven't met, I'm Faith, Stuart real estate advisor. Follow along for new listings, neighborhood recs, and a look at life here.

Practical Ways to Improve Garage Organization
The garage tends to become a catch-all space over time. Tools get piled in corners, seasonal items take over the floor, and before long, there's barely room to park a car. Getting it under control doesn't require a weekend-long overhaul — with the right approach, you can build a system that actually...

What to Look for in a Home Inspection Report
You've made an offer, it's been accepted, and now comes one of the most important steps in the buying process: the home inspection. The report that follows can run anywhere from 20 to 100 pages. That's a lot of information, and knowing how to read it makes all the difference.

What Sellers Should Know About Pre-Listing Inspections
Most sellers spend weeks preparing their home for the market: decluttering, touching up paint, maybe tackling a few overdue repairs. What some sellers overlook is hiring a home inspector before the listing goes live. It's not a requirement, but for many sellers, it's a smart move.

How to Assess Natural Light When Touring Homes
Natural light is one of those qualities that listing photos don't always capture accurately. A room that looks bright and airy in listing photos might tell a different story in person — and the reverse is just as true. When you're touring homes, taking a few extra minutes to evaluate how light moves...
