✨ Under Contract ✨

There is something extra special about getting to work with the family of a past client! I truly love when clients trust me enough to refer their friends and family, and I am so excited to officially have the parents of a past client under contract on their new home here in North Carolina!

They are currently in the process of selling their home in New York and making the move south to start their next chapter at the coast. Relocating to a completely new area comes with so many moving pieces, especially when you are coordinating the sale of one home with the purchase of another and I am so happy to be a part of making that transition as seamless as possible.

This relocation is also one that feels especially familiar to me. Having moved from up north to the Wilmington area myself, I understand firsthand just how big of a decision it is to leave behind the place you have called home and start over somewhere new. It is one of the reasons I love working with relocation clients so much. I get to help them not only find a house, but also get comfortable with the area and feel confident about where they are putting down roots.

We were able to find a beautiful home that checked the boxes for what they were looking for and will allow them to enjoy everything that comes with living closer to the coast. I could not be happier for them as they prepare for this next chapter!

✨ Under Contract ✨

Congratulations to my amazing client on going under contract on his newest investment property!

From the very beginning, we had a clear strategy. The goal was to find a home in Leland that fit a specific price point, was move in ready for his daughter to live in, and still offered opportunities to build equity over time through thoughtful updates and improvements. We looked at several options before finding the one that checked all of the boxes.

One of my favorite parts of working with investors is helping them look beyond just the purchase price. The right investment is about balancing today’s needs with tomorrow’s potential. By staying patient, understanding the market, and negotiating strategically, we were able to secure a property that provides a wonderful place for his daughter to call home while also creating long term value.

Whether you are purchasing your first investment property, expanding your portfolio, or buying a home for a family member, every situation requires a different strategy. Taking the time to understand your goals is what allows us to find the right fit and put together the strongest possible offer.

Congratulations again to my client on this exciting milestone. I cannot wait to see his daughter settle into her new home and watch this investment continue to grow in value for years to come!

The Life We Dreamed Of Is Busy!🥹✨✨

Life has gotten a whole lot busier over the past few years, but I would not trade it for anything! Building a top producing real estate business, growing a property management company alongside my husband, building our dream home and now stepping into the greatest role of all as a mom has been the most rewarding season of my life. Some days it feels like I am juggling a hundred different things at once, but every challenge has been another opportunity to grow!

I have learned that success is rarely about having more time. It is about making the most of the time you have and staying committed to the people and goals that matter most. None of this would be possible without the incredible clients who continue to trust me with one of the biggest decisions of their lives. I am also endlessly grateful for the unwavering support of my loving husband, my business partner and my partner in crime. We have built these businesses side by side and I could not imagine doing this journey with anyone else!

Every closing, every family we help, every property we manage and every milestone we reach reminds me just how fortunate I am. Thank you to everyone who has supported our businesses, referred a friend, trusted us and cheered us on along the way. Your support means more than you know, and I cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings!

✨ SOLD ✨

Congratulations to my amazing client on the purchase of his very first home in Rocky Point!

From the very beginning, the goal was clear. He was looking for a home that checked all of the boxes, with a great lot, the right floor plan and a place where he could put down roots and truly make his own. After exploring several options, we found the perfect fit, and I could not be happier with how everything came together.

This closing was especially meaningful to me because my client is a family member of one of my dear friends. Even more memorable, we went under contract on the very same day I went into labor with my son. While life was certainly busy during that season, I am incredibly grateful for my amazing team who stepped in to make sure every detail was handled seamlessly so my client never missed a beat throughout the process!

Purchasing your first home is one of life’s biggest milestones and there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone achieve that dream. I am so thankful that he trusted me to guide him through the process, and I could not be more excited to see him begin this next chapter in a home that truly fits everything he was looking for!

A heartfelt thank you to my incredible team for their support throughout this transaction. I truly could not have done it without them and I am so grateful to work alongside such dedicated professionals who always put our clients first! Congratulations again to my client on his first home. I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful memories he makes there!

✨ June Recap ✨

This was a month of transition in so many ways, both personally and professionally!

After welcoming our baby boy in May, June was all about finding our new rhythm! Between transitioning back into full time work, settling into our new home, onboarding a new assistant and spending quality time with family who came to visit, it was certainly a full month. While there were plenty of moving pieces, I am incredibly grateful for the support system around me that made it all possible!

This month also reminded me how thankful I am for the amazing people who make this business possible. I am so excited to welcome our new assistant to the team and cannot wait to see all that we accomplish together! I am also incredibly grateful to my clients for their patience, trust and continued confidence in me as we worked through such a busy season together.

This month wrapped up with 6 properties under contract and 2 successful closings! Those transactions included 4 new construction homes, 1 resale home, and 1 foreclosure property under contract. In total, we placed $2,663,690 under contract and closed $1,800,614 in sales. It has been such a privilege helping clients achieve their real estate goals across so many different types of transactions throughout the Wilmington area.

As we head into July, I am feeling refreshed, motivated, and excited for what is ahead. I am incredibly grateful for every client who continues to trust me with one of the biggest decisions of their lives, for every referral that helps this business grow and for my family, friends and team who make it all possible. I am looking forward to another great month helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals throughout Wilmington and the surrounding areas!
