A little real estate reality check…

One thing I’ve been seeing more and more lately: sellers who are still trying to negotiate like it’s the market from a few years ago.

This home is a perfect example.

My buyers went under contract on it June 25th. During inspections, legitimate safety items came up. We weren’t asking for a renovation or a wish list — but the seller wasn’t willing to address any of them.

So my buyers made the decision to walk away.

The home went back ACTIVE on July 16th. Today is September 1st…and it’s still sitting.

Meanwhile, my buyers moved on, found another home that was in significantly better condition overall, got under contract, and are moving forward with a home they feel much better about. ❤️

There’s a lesson here for sellers.

Pricing your home correctly is only part of getting it sold. You also have to be reasonable once you’re under contract.

If an inspection uncovers legitimate issues — especially safety concerns — buyers may ask you to address them, offer a credit, or make another reasonable concession.

You absolutely have the right to say no.

But buyers also have the right to say “Okay, then this isn’t the house for us.”

And sometimes the cost of refusing to give a little is watching a perfectly qualified buyer move on while your home goes right back on the market…and continues to sit.

The goal isn’t just to get under contract. The goal is to get to the closing table. 🏡🔑

🇺🇸 FROM THE WEST COAST TO THE EAST COAST — AND ON TO AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER! 🏡

I am so incredibly happy for this military veteran as he prepares to begin his next chapter in retirement!

Moving from the West Coast to the East Coast is a BIG change in so many ways, but we had a mission: stay within budget, find a home that truly fit his needs, get him into the right location, and make it all happen within his timeline.

Mission accomplished! ❤️🤍💙

It has been such an honor helping another veteran navigate a major relocation and find a place to call home. I couldn’t be happier for him and his family.

Congratulations, and wishing you all the very best as you settle in and begin this exciting new chapter on the East Coast! 🏡🇺🇸

Service Above Sales — always.

✨🏡 BEAUTIFUL BACK-TO-SCHOOL RELOCATION STORY TIME! 🏡✨

This is one of those stories that makes my heart absolutely BEAM. ❤️

This wonderful family is relocating to South Jersey for a new job and came to me through a recommendation — something I never take for granted.

We originally found a home we thought could be the one, but inspections uncovered some things that made walking away the right decision.

So… MISSION ACCEPTED. 🎯

We needed to find another home, get through the process, AND hopefully get this family settled before school starts. No pressure, right?! 😅

Did we find one? YES.
Did it meet their expectations? BEYOND. 🙌🏡❤️

And THAT is the part that makes me so incredibly happy for this entire family. Sometimes the home that doesn't work out is simply making room for something even better.

We still have a little bit to go before we make it to the closing table, so I'm not counting my chickens just yet… BUT the stars are aligning! ✨

And if you know me, you know I'm forever a glass-half-full kind of girl. 🥂 I believe in staying positive, finding solutions, and keeping things moving forward — especially when a family is counting on me during a major relocation.

For now, we celebrate being UNDER CONTRACT on a home that went beyond what we were hoping to find. ❤️🏡🔑

My heart could not be happier for them. Now let's get this beautiful family HOME before that first school bell rings! 🔔📚❤️

There is something extra special about helping clients come full circle. 🏡❤️

I had the privilege of helping these wonderful clients when they purchased their home, and now they’ve trusted me once again — this time to guide them through the selling process.

And today, we are officially UNDER CONTRACT! 🎉🏡

We still have a road ahead of us before we get to the closing table, but reaching this milestone is definitely worth celebrating!

I’m truly grateful for the trust they’ve placed in me through another important chapter in their lives. Being the person they called when it was time for their next move means more than they know.

One step closer to what’s next! ❤️🔑
