UPDATE: We officially extended Wicked Big Yard Sale registration until tomorrow night. 👀

Honestly… after the washout weekend we had, it only felt fair.

So if you were thinking about hosting a yard sale, this is your sign to finally clean out the basement, garage, attic, closets, or that random room full of “I’ll deal with it later” stuff. 😂

We’re already getting host kits packed and delivered, and Salem is shaping up to have 60+ yard sale locations across the city this weekend. 🛍️

Also, don’t forget:
Registered buyers get early access to the map AND automatic entry into our Cape Cod weekend getaway raffle 🌊

So yes… you can literally register to shop and potentially win a weekend away from your responsibilities.

Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Registration closes tomorrow night at wickedbigyardsale.com

I’m officially calling it… the Wicked Big Yard Sale should be Salem’s unofficial holiday. 🛍️☀️

June 6th & 7th, the entire city turns into one giant treasure hunt, and we already have 60+ yard sale locations registered across Salem.

Want to host? Want to shop? There’s still time to register at wickedbigyardsale.com.

Every registered host and buyer is automatically entered to win a weekend getaway to Cape Cod 🌊 because after a full weekend of yard sales… you’ve earned a little escape.

This is one of my favorite events we do every year because it brings the community together, helps people make extra money, clears out homes, and honestly… it’s just fun.

Just listed in Salem.

Some homes photograph well. Some homes feel good in person. Every once in a while, you get both.

22 Varney St sits in Salem’s Gallows Hill neighborhood on an oversized lot that feels surprisingly private once you step into the backyard. The gardens are mature, the stone walls give the property so much character, and there’s a calmness to the outdoor space that’s hard to find this close to downtown.

Inside, the house is filled with natural light and has a really warm, comfortable feel throughout. The kitchen has been remodeled, the bathrooms have been updated, and the second floor has a flexible layout depending on how someone wants to use the space. It’s the kind of home that feels cared for the second you walk in.

Honestly, this is one of those properties where every corner feels intentional — inside and out.

🏡 3 bedrooms
🛁 2 bathrooms
🌿 11,134 sq ft lot
📍22 Varney St, Salem MA
💲Offered at $570,000

If you’ve been looking for a home in Salem with character, yard space, and a setting that feels a little tucked away while still being close to everything, this one is absolutely worth seeing in person.

Apparently we’re getting absolutely dumped on this weekend 🌧️

And honestly? Good.

Because while everyone else waits until Sunday to start running around to open houses, the buyers who are actually serious are going to be out on Saturday getting ahead of the crowd.

This happens every single time we get bad weather in the middle of spring market. Buyers stay home, traffic slows down, and the people who do go out end up with way less competition than they would’ve had otherwise.

Meanwhile, Sunday rolls around, the sun comes back out, and suddenly every open house has 40 groups through it and buyers are hearing:
“We have multiple offers.”
“Highest and best due Monday.”
“We’re only accepting backup offers.”

You can either be in that group… or ahead of it.

Throw on the rain boots, grab the iced Dunkin, and go see the houses. Honestly, some of the best open house weekends happen in terrible weather because most people convince themselves to wait.

And yes, shameless plug — one stop should absolutely be 22 Varney St in Salem.

🏡 3 bed
🛁 2 bath
🌿 11,134 sq ft lot
📍Gallows Hill, Salem

The backyard alone is worth seeing in the rain.

Open house this weekend. Rain or shine.
Saturday 11-1 & Sunday 1-3

Your landlord?
Probably raised it because their mortgage, taxes, and insurance went up too.

But here’s the difference:

One day that mortgage gets paid off.
And you did all the heavy lifting.

📍6 Pearl St, Salem MA

2-family.
8 bedrooms.
Finished basement.
Off-street parking.
Built for flexibility.

Live in one unit.
Rent the other.
Build equity.

The first property isn’t always the dream home. Sometimes it’s the property that changes your financial future.

If you’re running the Boston Marathon today…

Take a second and really feel this.

All the early mornings. The long runs. The days you didn’t want to, but did anyway. It all led to this moment.

Pace yourself. Look around. Let it sink in.

When you hit Heartbreak Hill and everything in you wants to stop, remember this… less than 1% of people will ever do what you’re doing today.

I ran mine in 2021. It took me 6.5 hours. It wasn’t pretty, but I finished. And that finish line changes you.

No one can take that from you.

Be proud of yourself today. You earned this.

Snow? Yeah, it’s New England—grab your Dunk’s and move on! ❄️ you know we’re in a blizzard right now—snow, shovels, and all! But while we’re digging out, let’s not forget the bigger picture. Do we really want another winter of chasing landlords and worrying about where to park? Nope! Now’s the time to get pre-approved so next winter, you’re sipping coffee in your own home, watching the snow from the window. Lenders—Laura, Cesar, Mona, Vicma, Aury, Paul, David—let’s rally! Get pre-approved, and next year, we’ll be snowed in—but in style.

Buying a home doesn’t start with “are you ready.”
It starts with “where do I even begin?”

So we made it easy.

On Saturday, February 28, I’m hosting a free, drop-in Pre-Approval Pop-Up at Village Tavern in Salem with 4 local lenders in the room at the same time.

No seminar.
No pressure.
No awkward sales pitch.

Come eat lunch, ask real questions, compare options, and figure out your next step, whether that’s buying soon or just getting clear for 2026.

Think of it as speed dating for your next lender.
You talk. They explain. You decide.

🗓 Feb 28
🕙 11–2 (drop in anytime)
📍 Village Tavern, Salem
🍽 Lunch included

DM me POP UP and I’ll send you the registration link.
