You will know your kids as adults far longer than you’ll know them as children. If you’re lucky, you’ll know your kids for about 50 years. Your kids will only be “kids” for about ten of those fifty years. That means 80% of the time you’ll ever have with your kids, they’re not “kids.”

You only get:
1 summer with them as a baby
3 as a toddler
5 as a child
3 as a pr***en
6 as a teen

Enjoy it while it lasts. Don’t waste those years. ❤️

Oh, and one more thing…if you're looking for the perfect house to make your memories in my cell is (910) 200-7715

Let's talk.

Dear new agents, here's some unsolicited advice. When you do a good job for someone, they refer you. When you do a great job for that person you were referred to, they use you again... and again... and again... And as long as you continue to do a great job, demonstrate great care, professionalism, create trust, value and quite honestly become great friends.... the cycle continues. The homes below are from one client throughout the years, all referred to me by a client who followed my listing ads Facebook, which is where the cycle began.

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?
