You know how at school or in a new job they always make you do "ice breakers". It's miserable right? I have my go to "I was born on Christmas Day" which is usually followed with "omg that must suck". BUT

Here are 3 more thing about me that you probably don't know yet:

1. I've had the same best friend for 30 years (shout out to Brenna Buckner for sticking around!)
2. I love to travel and Kenya will always be one of my favorite places in the world.
3. My dad is an accountant and therefore a spreadsheet for financial goals makes me extremely happy. (doing my taxes.. not so much)

Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's all the powerful women she knows 💫

Today I'm celebrating some of the amazing women in business I've gotten to know. These women are smart and kind and unstoppable.

I'm so lucky that life has led me to some of the most amazing women. It's so empowering to see so many women running successful local businesses. Here are just a few of my favorites!

Black Birch Co.
Tilly's
Chef Carly
Clover
Flying Squirrel Pilates

Cheers to all the women who work their way to the top and invite everyone in their path to join them! 🥂

POV: You're sitting on your couch after a long day browsing social media when you see your neighbor listed their house for a LOT more than you would have guessed. 👀 Not only do you instantly start browsing their listing photos, you also start wondering what you could sell your home for, too!

Whether you've been thinking about selling your home for a while now or you're just suddenly curious what it would be like, keep reading!

This month I will be talking ALL about selling your home! I'm pulling back the curtain on the entire process (and what I do to make it easier on my clients!) 🫶

PLUS I have LOTS of free bonus guides that will have you feeling more confident than Miranda Priestly looks when walking off an elevator. (Who else still loves The Devil Wears Prada?) 👠

Here's how it works: Throughout the month, I will be sharing TONS of great posts specifically for sellers. Within some of the captions and on my stories, I will be offering BONUS guides to help break down specific parts of the transaction even more so that the entire process is super clear to you.

While you wait for the juicy details on all things selling, there are 2 things you can do.

➕ First, DM me and request my FREE Home Seller Bootcamp Guide (I give this to all my sellers and it's so helpful!).

➕ Next, click on my profile and be sure to select Add to Favorites so that you're most likely to see everything I'm sharing this month!

Listing homes is one of my favorite parts of this biz, so I'm so excited to have these conversations with you!!

🏡PS: If you're not ready to sell you're home but you want to know what your house may be worth I can help with that too! DM me for your free market analysis.

You aren't the only one who gets a fresh start! Your home deserves some resolutions, too!

In order to give your home a successful year, here are the home maintenance tasks you should be tackling the first month of the year!

🎄 Store Christmas decor in labeled bins (I like to use clear to keep it easy to find in the storage room) ❤️💚

🚂 Refresh play spaces (grab a few stylish storage bins from Target to clean up the kid toys!). Now is also a great time to donate toys they don't play with anymore!

🔋 Replace smoke alarm batteries and test to make sure they're all functional

🧼 Clean out the fridge and wipe down shelves🚿 Replace shower curtain liners

🧽 Wipe down fan blades

🛀 Wash duvet covers and sheets

👕 Organize dresser drawers and closets (Donate anything you haven't worn in the past 12 months)!

💡 Replace burnt out light bulbs

🧹Remove dust from air vents

📝 Make a list of items to stock up on or containers you need for organizing

🏡 Make a list of HOME GOALS! Bonus: send them to me so we can work through them together!

PS: Did you know I offer my 12 MONTH HOMEOWNER CHECKLIST to you for FREE? You can print it out, hang it on your fridge (laminate it if you're really fancy) and check things off every single month! Just DM me or comment below for your free copy!

Don't worry, you can also keep grabbing my monthly lists that I'll continue to share but I wanted you to have the full year at a glance so you can easily keep your home in tip top shape all year long!
