Real estate has a funny way of bringing people into your life and back again!

I first met this client several years ago when I showed her one of my listings in Melcher. The timing wasn’t right then, but a few years later she moved to Newton and trusted me to help her purchase! Life circumstances changed, and she found herself needing to sell .

When I think back on working together, what stands out most is that every time we sat down to “do business,” we somehow ended up talking forever about life, family, travel, sports, God’s Plan, kids… Somewhere along the way I learned that she was a CASA, and with my own passion for foster care, that gave us a connection that went far beyond real estate! The funny thing is, we haven’t caught up on all the convos so we committed to stay in contact! ♥️ Most importantly , we discovered a shared love for CC and the Indiana Fever basketball, which of course made a Caitlin Clark Stanley a fun little closing gift! 🏀

This closing was also a good reminder of something I really value about this work: helping homes change hands in a way that works for real families. The mortgage consultant shared how happy the buyers were at closing, and there is something incredibly rewarding about knowing this affordable little home is now the start of a new chapter for another family.

I am also so grateful that a friend referred her to me! Now that’s invaluable!!

Please BOTHER ME. You know what I hear all the time?
"I'm so sorry to bother you..."
"I know you're busy..."
and my favorite - "I know you have four kids..."
Please don't apologize. PLEASE, Bother me.
Seriously... that's my job, and it's one of my favorite parts of what I do.
Friend, Family, Past or Future Client or just random person:
🏡 Curious what your home is worth?
🏡 Wondering if now is the right time to buy or sell?
🏡 Need a recommendation for a contractor, lender, inspector, or handyman?
🏡 Have a question you've been meaning to ask? BOTHER ME
My phone is open for all of it or better yet, let's have coffee or lunch face to face. ❤️

The greatest compliment is when someone chooses me to represent them, not because we’re family, but because they trust me to guide them with care, honesty, and experience.

Helping my aunt Diane sell this home a couple of months ago was one of those amazing moments!

As a kid and young adult, I spent time in this home. The kitchen was always full of food, laughter, and family. Aunts, uncles, and cousins catching up! The couches, chairs, tables full!! And that basement! So comfortably decorated, football always on the TV, and it felt like the safest, most comfortable place in the world. It’s funny how certain homes leave you with a feeling you’ll carry the rest of your life.

My aunt has always been someone I admire so getting to spend extra time with her while selling her home was so fun! She is always effortlessly stylish and put together. And her home reflected that same warmth and attention to detail. But most memorable was the kindness she showed to everyone who walked through the front door.

If you know my cousins, you know exactly where they get it!

Over the years, she cared for this home with so much pride. Every room reflects the care she put into it, and I couldn’t be happier knowing another family will get to enjoy a home that has been so well loved!

Congratulations to my aunt and to the new owners. I hope this home brings your family as many wonderful memories as it gave ours.

I want to brag a little? Only because this makes me really happy. Life hits you sometimes but then you find nuggets that bring a smile. I don't often sign in to my testimonials, but one came through today so I logged in and saw something REALLY cool! 59 clients have taken the time to complete a survey after working with me. Every single one came back 5.0 out of 5.0! This graphic is just a small snippet of the feedback. This means more to me than I can explain. I work hard because I know buying or selling a home is a BIG deal. People deserve communication, honesty, patience, follow-through, and someone who TRULY cares about the outcome. I expect a lot out of myself, and when the results reflect that, I feel really proud.
To every client who trusts me, refers business to me, took the time to review me, and let me be part of such an important season, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
And if you’re thinking about buying or selling, I’d LOVE the chance to walk along side you. Who you walk through the process with truly MATTERS!
