Let’s be honest—some staging tips are more ‘weekend makeover show’ than ‘lazy Sunday reset.’ I’ll help you focus on the updates that actually make a difference (and won’t leave you covered in primer).

Top trends designers already regret:
🛋 Too much greige — Safe but emotionless & overdone.
🏛 Over-the-top neoclassical — gives Pinterest cosplay, not cozy home.
🖼 Bold ceilings
🪑Fast furniture — Trendy now, landfill later.
📚 Floating shelves
💡Design should feel good—not just look good on Instagram.

Don’t fall in love with the wrong home. Shop smart, stay grounded & end up with a home that fits your life by asking: Why am I moving? How long am I staying? What can I afford? What is non-negotiable? Do I have my team ready? Be smart & strategic, lean into the life you want to grow into.

Homebuyer prep:
•Get Pre-approved. A pre-QUALIFIED letter won’t cut it in a HOT market.
•List your must-haves but know what’s negotiable.
•Work with a connected agent to access listings before they go public.
•Track mortgage rates.
•Save up, clear out, prep now. Move confidently when it’s GO time.

Listen... selling your home is all about creating a feeling. The goal? Make buyers walk in and never want to leave. Sure, updates and staging matter... but never underestimate the power of cozy vibes and a warm, welcoming smell. (And nothing does that better than cookies straight from the oven.)

It's easy to start picturing your future while house hunting—where the sofa will go, family holidays, making memories. But while you're dreaming, I'm looking for foundation cracks, water damage, or strange odors that could turn your dream into a nightmare. My job is to ensure there are no surprises!

If you need to sell before buying your next place, current market conditions could actually work in your favor. With steady buyer demand & shifting inventory, you might have more leverage than you think. Both as a buyer and seller. Ask me how!

Some of the things I love about #ATX: The view of downtown from Auditorium Shores, the drive down Capital of Texas Highway (pre-construction, of course!) the Red Bud Isle dog park, shopping and dining on South Congress. #favoritethings #austintx #southcongress #redbudisle #capitaloftxhwy

Does anyone know where I can watch Yellow Face with Daniel Dae Kim. I know it was supposed to have been on PBS’s Great Performances but I can’t seem to find it.

Here’s how buying during the holidays can work in your favor:🌟Less Competition since many are busy w/holiday plans🌟Those listing homes during the holidays are often eager to sell, meaning favorable negotiating.🌟Closing before 1/1 has tax perks.🌟Lighter workloads mean transactions often move quickly.
