Always a fun time & each month brings a new experience. Hope to see you in main this month!

Small Town Saturdays — September's Main Street Crawl

September STS is shaping up to be a good one.

Same Main Street, but a little different every month! That’s the whole idea. We want you to know the kind of morning you’re showing up for, while still having something new to find each time.

This month you’ll find coffee, baked goods, Blind Dates with a Book & self-care specials inside Glow on Main, Momma Mo's Sweets at Mal's Bar and Grill, Syracuse Troop 337 with Boy Scout popcorn, curated pop-ups inside The Duncan Building, and Tailored Life 360 bringing mums, pumpkins, kale & cabbage plants to Main Street.

Come wander, support local, and see what STS has to offer this time!

One last STS for the summer. Come grab a coffee, shop small and pick out some mums, pumpkins, kale & cabbage for the porch. 🍂

Small Town Saturdays — September's Main Street Crawl

One last Main Street Crawl to round out our very first STS summer series. 🤎

Every month; same vibe, different experience.

This month’s experience? Give your front porch a fall refresh. 🍂

Our neighbors from Bennet at Tailored Life 360 are bringing mums, pumpkins, kale & cabbage plants so you can pick out your favorites and take a little fall home with you.

Are you a “buy a mum and hope for the best” person or do you actually have a green thumb? 😂

From an apartment… to a home that is completely her own. 🥹🏡

This one was wild from the start. Four showings the very first day, and every offer came in above asking price.

And that’s exactly why I always tell buyers: it isn’t only about throwing the highest number at a house.

Price matters, obviously. But terms matter too. Timing matters. And sometimes the strongest offer is the one that makes the most sense as a whole.

That’s what made this one so fun.

She has been SO excited about this house from the beginning, and now she gets to make it hers.

An art room. A whole basement to turn into a second living space. Her own yard. A POWERED GARAGE DOOR 😂 And, of course, one very lucky cat making the move from apartment life too. 🐈

And on the other side of it, the seller gets to close this chapter knowing the home he took such immaculate care of is going to someone who already loves it and is genuinely excited to make it her own.

There’s something pretty cool about watching one person hand over a home they cared for so well while someone else gets the keys to the first place that is truly their own.

Today she gets to say it: "I'm a homeowner." 🔑🏡

“Selling any houses lately?”

Or my favorite after a showing… “Did they buy it?!”

Nope. Sometimes it wasn't the right house. So we keep looking until we find the one that is.

Because I don't really look at my job as selling houses. I'm helping people find the lifestyle they're looking for!

And lately, that has looked a little different for everyone. Here are a few of my recent Small Town Wins:

🏡 Their home had been sitting on the market for 6 months when they called me for help. We switched up the strategy, got it SOLD, and they could finally close that chapter and move forward with their new home & new small-town life.

🌽 They were ready to leave their Lincoln starter home behind. We sold it and found them more house, more space and the small-town life they wanted in Bennet.

🔑 They found the house they wanted in Syracuse. but getting there wasn't easy. Three months of patience & negotiating later: $0 down, $15K off asking, a new roof AND a $20K sewer repair.

❤️ The goal wasn't just finding Mom a house. It was finding zero-entry living that worked for her now, with hopes of eventually being able to bring Dad home too.

🤝 They knew what they wanted for their house, but didn't want everything that comes with listing it. We found the right buyer off-market who was willing to pay the price they wanted, and skipped the showings & inspections altogether.

☕ Sometimes helping doesn't mean selling anything. She had some big life changes happening, so we sat down, figured out what her house was worth and talked through what her options were if/when she decides to make a move.

So yes, I guess you could say I've been “selling houses.” 😏

But I'd rather explain my job as helping you make the right move than the wrong one. Figure out what you want next, how we get you there, and wait for the one that actually fits what you're looking for.

And it takes as long as it takes. Whether it be two weeks, 7 months, or 2 years.. we're not pulling the trigger until we know it's the right move.

*P.S. Peep my 14-month-old assistant helping me put out a yard sign for a listing I had in Elmwood that sold after the first showing with a full-price offer. Apparently he's good luck... or his mom is just that good. We may never know 😅

Consider this important local knowledge from your Unadilla realtor. 😅 I sell houses around here, but apparently I also keep you informed on where to find cheesecake for breakfast. Full service. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪❤️

Real estate is interesting. Nothing shocks me anymore, but it always amazes me that someone was like, “These’ll work. Yep. That’ll do!”

Steak knives, y’all. 😂

But a bigger reason why I came here to share my first estate sale experience with you…

I could have sat there scrolling my phone in silence, but I chose to look up and start a conversation with the lady behind me.

I had never been to an estate sale before, so honestly I was shocked there was a line waiting outside the house 30 minutes beforehand. She had a tote bag and I thought that was smart for all the trinkets and treasures she hoped to snag.

As the line started to grow, there were two other ladies behind us and we all kinda became this little circle of friends… within 30 minutes. 😅❤️

We were laughing and bonding over how insane people can get at these things. Arriving early, holding their spot in line with a can of beans while they go back to their car until the door opens, mean mugging everyone and probably scheming how they're gonna throw elbows if you get in the way of the bread box they're after.

It was intense!

Me and another gal who weren't too familiar with these sales contemplated if it was even worth it. Lol

But our new friend Jessica, who is a frequent flyer, was like, “Oh, don't let it bother you. It's just fun. If they want something that bad, let them have it.”

She's a vintage reseller. And we assumed some of the other place-holders, mean-muggers and early arrivers probably were too.

But here's the difference.

Those folks didn't gain a follower, a friend or some good karma today.

Jessica did.

Once we got inside, we were all cheering each other on when we found what we came for.

Jessica's composure and friendliness resonated with me. I'm always drawn to like-minded people and it's very much how I feel about real estate and running Small Town Saturdays.

It's not about making a quick buck, closing the deal the fastest, or popping up to an event for three hours and never gaining a repeat customer.

It's much more than that.

Gain followers. Build relationships. Grow your community of supporters.

Community over competition.

So if you're interested in vintage finds, follow my girl Jessica on Vinted at hoolafinds. Her at-home business is evolving and she plans to start posting on Facebook too!

And if you're still reading… who would you rather support?

The business that doesn't engage or act interested in you supporting them?

Or the person who greets you with a smile, doesn't pressure you into a purchase, and is just genuinely a good person you WANT to support?

THAT is the definition of support local.
Amazon or boutique. Maybe I can buy it elsewhere cheaper, but when I shop small, I know whose family I’m feeding.

And I’ll choose that every damn time.
