Catching up on some closings! 🏡🔑

The phones have been a little quieter lately… and for buyers, that can actually mean opportunity. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, need a little help with closing costs, or have been waiting for sellers to become more flexible on price — this may be the time to start the conversation. Sellers may be ready to listen!

Meanwhile, I’m celebrating two extra-special repeat-client closings. ❤️

One repeat client made his way back to Chesapeake — and this time, we found him a home with a pool! 🏊‍♂️ There’s nothing better than having clients trust me to help them through another chapter.

And another beautiful home is SOLD in Eagle Harbor! This one is especially sentimental because it’s actually the second time I’ve had the honor of selling this home. I wasn’t their agent when they originally purchased it, but somewhere along the way they must have realized just how much I loved their house. 😂 When it was time for them to move, they trusted me to sell it — and years and even continents apart later, that client relationship has turned into a friendship I truly treasure.

And yes… we are celebrating another amazing price-per-square-foot sale in Eagle Harbor! 🎉

Real estate is about the houses, but for me, it has always been even more about the people, the memories, and being invited back for the next chapter. ❤️

Thinking of buying or selling? Even in a changing market, there are opportunities — you just need the right strategy
