I guide Southeast Michigan empty-nesters—and anyone wondering “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”—to dodge the 7 biggest downsizing mistakes so they can move or stay with clarity, calm, and confidence. After 26 years in medicine, I’ve traded scrubs for sold signs, bringing the same care-first mindset to every transaction. Community volunteer, Kiwanian, and proud Woodhaven Warrior, I believe real estate should feel personal, not transactional. Where the Journey to Finding a Darling Home with eXp Realty Begins.

Unpopular opinion: Why do both sides of the porch have to match? 👀🍂

I love the open look… until I picture myself sitting out there in my PJs, sipping my morning coffee, waving at the whole neighborhood. 😂☕

So hear me out: railings on one side for a cozy little sitting spot, and the other side open and welcoming.

Best of both worlds—or would the mismatch drive you CRAZY?

My eyes say open porch. My coffee-and-PJs self wants a little cover. 🤷‍♀️

Would you do BOTH, or pick a side? Tell me why! 👇

Brownstown Sellers: The Warning Nobody's Giving You

Brownstown sellers, here's the warning nobody's giving you. New listings in Brownstown Township doubled in one month.

Homes are still selling for about 99% of asking in a median of 16 days, so it's still a good market. You just have more company now. And when buyers have more choices, they compare. Price your home like it's still August and you could sit while the house down the street sells.

Thinking about selling in Brownstown and want to know how your home stacks up? Comment LOCAL and I'll show you what homes like yours are actually selling for.

How to Spot Strong Resale Value
If you’re wondering what truly helps a home hold its value when the time comes to move on, let’s bring some clarity to the details that matter most—especially for families in Southeast Michigan navigating big transitions. I’ve seen how much resale strength often starts with the right setting: homes on quieter interior streets, close to parks, schools, and daily conveniences, tend to invite more interest from the next wave of buyers. For those considering a move to or from a rural spot, privacy and flexible lots—think plenty of space for RVs, outdoor hobbies, or pets—can be a real draw. The flow inside matters, too; open or semi-open living connected to the kitchen, secure parking, indoor laundry, and good storage make daily life easier for everyone. Kitchens and baths that feel updated and energy-efficient systems that are genuinely well maintained consistently add to resale appeal. And when it’s time to present your home, bright, airy spaces—lots of natural light, lighter colors, and an open feel—tend to resonate more than darker, closed-off rooms. My approach always centers on bringing clarity so you can make confident choices, whether you’re helping a parent, downsizing, or moving on after inheriting a home. Experience the Darling Difference in Every Move.

That’s my husband Keith and me on Halloween 2022, passing out candy the same day we moved in. Some of you are new here, so here’s the short version of how I got here.

I became a mom 31 years ago while going to school for ophthalmology. Two years later I was divorced and figuring out housing, daycare, a car, work, and night classes on my own. I saved and bought my first home on one income. Years later, after a second divorce, I started over again with my girls watching.

After COVID I retired from ophthalmology and stepped fully into real estate. Now I’m an empty nester too. So when a Downriver homeowner tells me their house doesn’t fit their life anymore, I get it.

Over the next week I’ll share a little more about me, Jody, and the work we do together.
