There's a version of me who always orders a salad and another version of me who only orders dessert.

This list is that second version’s top spots. 7 spots, all on repeat this summer, none of them picked for any reason other than they're real, real good.

Share this with your friend’s alter ego.

Right now I'm dreaming about:

👉 Forty Three Bakery's raspberry danish with vanilla cream and brown sugar streusel, because baker Andrew builds seasonal pastries around whatever fruit is most interesting at the farmers market.
👉 Rockwell Ice Cream, mostly because it's made in-house daily with 16% butterfat, so it's denser and more intense than standard ice cream.
👉 Nielsen's Frozen Custard's concretes, which will make you briefly consider buying a second and third.

A client added their daughter to the deed to avoid probate. Clean, simple, done.

The estate attorney saw it differently.

Three things nobody told them:

1️⃣ Adding a name transfers your original cost basis. The taxable gain calculates from what you paid in 1991, not today.
2️⃣ Inheriting the home through a will would have given her a stepped-up basis to current market value. Same house, very different tax bill.
3️⃣ A gift tax return was required. They found out after.

One conversation with the right person before the deed gets filed can change everything. Always ask me about anything to do with your home. If I don't have an answer, I can refer you to my trusted estate attorney.

He titled it as joint tenancy. Seemed straightforward.

When he passed, his daughter's share automatically transferred to his son. The will didn't matter. The deed overrode everything.
She got nothing.

I was talking through a case like this with the estate attorney I refer my clients to and something they said stuck with me. They said most families don't find out how their deed is titled until it's too late to change it.

Do you know how yours is titled right now?

If you're not sure, that's worth figuring out before anything gets filed. Drop DEED in the comments and I'll connect you with someone I trust.

You don't have to suffer when it gets too hot in Salt Lake. Check out these 6 places to cool off this summer.

📍 Murray Outdoor Aquatic Center
📍 Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center
📍 Liberty Park Pool
📍 South County Outdoor Pool
📍 Magna Pool
📍 Wardle Fields Regional Park Splash Pad

Which one is your favorite?

Just $1 for little kids, $4 youth, $5 adults, first-come first-served. A four-story waterslide tucked inside Murray Park, so swimming is just part of the day. Has a zero-depth entry beach area for the toddlers AND two diving boards for the older kids so you're not suffering on a hot day with nowhere to go.

I tell every buyer I work with: learn your parks system. Salt Lake has it and most people barely use it.

Something I keep seeing with clients in their 60s. They're protecting their savings like it's the only thing they have, while sitting on hundreds of thousands in home equity they've never thought they could touch.

I sat with a reverse mortgage specialist and asked them to walk me through how it actually works. The costs, the options, what trips people up.

It's not for everyone. But if you own your home and retirement feels tighter than it should, it's worth understanding.

Save this and send it to someone who needs to see it.

The rumor? "If you get a reverse mortgage, the bank takes your house."

Not true. I've heard this from a number of retired clients, and it's a main reason keeping them from exploring this option.

Here's what actually happens with a reverse mortgage:

• You borrow against the equity you already built
• No monthly mortgage payments required
• You stay in your home
• The loan balance gets repaid when the home is eventually sold

The specialist I work with said this misconception alone has caused homeowners to leave real money on the table.

If you (or your parents) are retired and sitting on a paid-off or nearly paid-off home, this is worth understanding before a decision has to be made under pressure.

Comment down below or DM me and I'll personally walk you through what this looks like for your situation.

I love summer in Salt Lake. But I watch people let summer pass without taking advantage of what's in their own backyard.

These events are worth going to before September hits.

👉 LiveDaybreak Concert Series / Free outdoor concerts every Friday and most Saturdays through September in Downtown Daybreak. Get there before 8 pm. TRAX Red Line stops nearby.
👉 Millcreek Summer Bazaar / Every Sunday through September 27 at Millcreek Common. Free, casual, zero planning needed. Vintage, local art, handmade goods.
👉 Gracie's / Open until 1 am. Natural last stop on any good Salt Lake night. Make a reservation on weekends.

Go enjoy where we live.

I send stuff like this to my clients all the time because knowing your city is part of loving where you live. If you ever want to talk about what it looks like to put down roots here, my inbox is open.

Outdoor concerts on venue lawns. Night markets you show up hungry to. Rooftop bars that fill up by 7 on a clear evening.

This is a regular summer night in Salt Lake.

Some of the best events are free. The energy at dusk is unique and invigorating. And it runs all season long.

These are some of the summer night spots I most look forward to each year (and the ones that keep me going through the winter).

🌅 Twilight Concert Series
🌅 Utah First Credit Union Ampitheatre
🌅 LiveDaybreak Summer Concert Series
🌅 Millcreek Summer Bazaar
🌅 Salt Lake After Dark: Night Lights Tour
🌅 Gracie's

Which night event am I missing? DM me so I can catch it.
