CLIENT: I want to sell my coffee shop. Can you help me?
Me: Of course. Are you selling your building as well?
CLIENT: Yes. And I already have a buyer willing to pay $1M for all of it. I'll send you the contract.
Me: Please tell me it's not already signed (🤪)
[Offer comes by email, thankfully only signed by the Buyer.]
Me: I've reviewed the offer, but it's on a standard Commercial Real Estate Contract. You need to have a one contract for the business and one for the real estate. Mutually contingent. The buyer is getting a loan. Both the business AND the real estate will have to appraise so your broker needs to help you come up with good valuations for both.
CLIENT: Really?? Thank goodness I talked to you!

CLIENT CALL: "My sister and I inherited my mom's house and we HATE each other. We can't agree on anything - whether to fix the roof, who is going to live there, whether we should sell, what the price should be, etc. Can you help?!"

This is the email I received last week from a client. The good news is that my client's sister already has a good local real estate attorney who is easy to work with. Rather than go the partition route, we're working together to solve these sisters' house problems, putting together a written agreement setting forth what they agree to do/not do. This will serve as our roadmap to getting the house ready for sale, and sold, so they can go back to ignoring each other, albeit a little bit richer $$$!

Where there's a will, there's a way!

🏠 Buying a FloridaCondo or HOA Property? Don’t Skip the Estoppel Letter! 📄

Before you close the deal, make sure you get an estoppel certificate—it’s a crucial step that protects you from unexpected headaches.

✅ Confirms current dues and seller's status
✅ Verifies payment amount and any arrears
✅ Helps avoid future legal disputes
✅ Gives you clarity on dues, increases, and special assessments

It only takes one missed detail to turn a good deal into a bad one—an estoppel letter keeps everything transparent. ✔️

Remember that time?

Remember that time when you had to go through the grocery store with a calculator? Every $.49 can of corn mattered.

All the times, actually.
Years of times….

I just walked out of the grocery store with six bags of groceries and I literally am sitting here in my car in tears. I have no recollection of how much the bill was. 

Was it $28? $58?

There was a time in my life when $30 meant the difference between having electricity or having water. Now, it doesn’t even register.
It’s not that I am bougie. If you talk to my friends and family, they will say I am thrifty, even cheap. (Which I hate, of course!)

I’m so incredibly thankful for my life, and all of the people and gifts within it.  Thank you, Mom, Jan Vestal for teaching me the value of a dollar and hard work! 🤩
