How many 11-year-olds can hold an intelligent conversation about Memorial Day, the what and why behind it, how it differs from Veterans Day, and July 4th?

Every year, going back as far as I can remember, with Cannon, we have made it a tradition to eat lunch together on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day and to talk about these holidays and the important differences between them, to a lot of kids it's a day off of school or the kick off to summer, but it's important to me that my kids know the sacrifices behind each of these holidays.

I firmly believe that buying a house at a young age is one of the absolute best things you can do. Will owning a house make you “rich?” Of course not. But it lays a financial foundation where every month you’re building equity in SOMETHING. This is not insignificant.

Making progress towards a goal is addicting (in a good way), and it eventually shows up in other areas of your life. The younger you learn this, the better.

More important than the money itself is the mindset this habit unlocks.

Every goal in life worth pursuing is going to take a long time….and it’s going to require ongoing consistency more than temporary intensity. Too many people are trying to get rich quick when they should be focused on getting rich slowly.

In any endeavor, the price of success is usually just doing the same boring things over and over again….that most people aren’t willing to do. This is what creates results in the gym, in business, and ultimately in life.

This is why cultivating the emotional discipline to pay a monthly mortgage is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

It’s more than a mortgage, it’s about the type of person it helps you to become.

Here’s a hot take that is bound to ruffle some feathers…

Realtors are not required to buy or sell real estate. 🫣

Yep. I said it.

And honestly the industry needs to stop acting like that’s not true. Many agents act like not using a Realtor is guaranteed to be a disaster every single time. That simply is not always the case.

You do not legally need me.
You do not have to hire an agent.
You absolutely can do it yourself.

Realtors are not a necessity.
Realtors are a service.
A strategy.
A buffer.
An experienced problem-solver when things go sideways.

But, we are not a requirement.

If you want to FSBO your house, you absolutely can.
If you want to buy direct, you have every right.
If you want to take it all on yourself… I genuinely hope it goes smoothly for you.

But also… don’t confuse “not required” with “not valuable.”

Because when things do get complicated (and they very often do 😬), that’s where the right agent earns every dollar of what they’re paid.

The truth is, the best agents aren’t afraid to say you don’t need them. Because we know when you choose us, it’s for a reason.

If you do want guidance, strategy, or someone fighting for you when things get tricky… I’m here. If not? I still hope your deal goes smoothly and you win.

Okay everyone expects “fancy” restaurants to have good food. But what’s a non-fancy place here in Wilmington that has amazing food?

This will make you SICK!
Not me, I couldn't be happier for my clients Melissa and Randy. After purchasing and selling 5 homes with me in the last 5 years, they somehow timed the market perfect each time until finally finding their forever home on 15 ACRES! But first we had to sell 121 Summerset Landing in Hampstead and we are proud to announce we closed today for $960,000. The new owners are incredibly lucky! Congratulations to them, and if YOU missed out on this home, don't hesitate to call me on the next one before it too.... is GONE.
