The process of relocating to live near family is complicated enough, and choosing to downsize can be overwhelming. For my clients, they realized unfortunately after getting under contract a few days ago that the last home was the wrong house for them. Thankfully the sellers worked with us on this change.

After doing all the home tours, they had chosen a truly beautiful and fabulous home, but they realized that less stairs into their front door and from the garage was more important to them for aging. They also want to host all of the kids and grandkids at their house. They want room to enjoy and explore hobbies in retirement now that they actually have time to pursue those interests. Downsizing doesn’t actually have to be a huge reduction in square footage. It can be changing to the right floor plan, accessibility for aging, and possibly even selecting a neighborhood that has amenities to enjoy that you don’t have to maintain at your personal property that helps with the visits with grandchildren!

As a buyers agent, I really listen to my clients lifestyle needs and wants to help advocate for the right home for the next season. This home was also meticulously cared for by sellers with so many amazing features. The accessibility to the main level entrances really removed a lot of stress for their future! And, they can walk across their backyard to all of the many neighborhood amenities! Congratulations to my buyers for getting under contract on this gem!

I’ve spent the last 12 weeks working with an amazing coach and group of other realtors prioritizing professional and personal growth to help us with structures, routines, and tools to help us.

The collaboration time with my peers was priceless as we supported each other to help us build our own business.

Truths I know…

I love where I work.

I love helping people through major life transitions as they buy and sell real estate.

I love scenic drives and seeing new places.

I’m grateful for meaningful work as my family needs me differently in this season.

Structures and boundaries protect the longevity of my career and aligns it with my values to create a business I can thrive in.

The Lord sees all the details, challenges me, provides for me, and provides great opportunities to serve others.

Stop by my open house this weekend! I’ll be hosting it from 1-3pm on Saturday!

We just closed on a charming 2 bed, 1 bath home right across the street from Weller Elementary—and it’s more than just a house. These parents purchased it to create a fresh start and a meaningful space for their son.

To make it even better, these clients were incredibly thoughtful and such a joy to work with from start to finish. Moments like this are why I love what I do—helping great people create something meaningful for their family’s future.

So grateful to be part of their story!
