Meme of the Week
If your name is on here… maybe that’s a sign. And if it’s not, but you want to be on that list, let me know and I’ll add it. 😄
Mirror, mirror on the… what the heck is THAT?!
Real estate agents often catch other agents accidentally reflected in bathroom mirrors or trying to hide behind shower curtains in listing photos. It can be funny… but also a little painful to see.
If you can’t pull it off cleanly, it’s probably better to hire a pro — or at least get good at editing photos.
Well, AI is making it easier to clean up little photo mishaps without needing to be a Photoshop expert. But one agent recently learned the hard way that it’s still worth checking the final result after AI added a creepy-looking creature crawling out of a mirror — and he somehow missed it before posting the photos.
Would you pay to improve a neighbor’s yard?
Most homeowners know curb appeal matters when they’re getting ready to sell. But a recent survey suggests your neighbor’s yard might matter more than you think. In fact, nearly half of homeowners said they’d consider chipping in to improve a neighbor’s lawn if it meant their own home would sell faster or for more money.
It’s an interesting idea… but it’s not necessarily an offer your neighbor will appreciate, even if it comes with free lawn care. So I recently published an article about why this can be a tricky conversation — and a few tactful ways to think about it if you ever find yourself in that position.
“How’s the market?”
I get that question a lot, and I’m always happy to answer it! But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why this newsletter doesn’t include weekly stats or price updates.

Trivia Time
Officials from the Swedish island of Gotland launched the “World’s Ugliest Lawn” competition in order to do which of the following:
For some, renovating a home is a thrilling opportunity to reimagine their space and build instant equity. For others, it’s the start of a multi-month saga involving uncontrollable delays, budget explosions, and a fine layer of drywall dust that may linger until your next renovation project.
Sometimes the right move is to pick up that hammer and get to work. Other times? You might be better off selling and finding a home that’s already “just right.”
So before you rip out your cabinets or start shopping for tile you saw on Instagram, take this fun little quiz to find out if you’re ready to renovate, or ready to relocate.
The fact is…
Here’s a fun fact for all of you who love mowing your lawn!
And a not-so-fun fact for the rest of you…

Meme of the Week
I love this sentiment! But if your home starts feeling a little too cozy when everyone shows up, I’m always happy to help you find one with a little more room.
Something fishy is going on here…
You may have come across a story going viral about a man claiming he was kidnapped by a gang of dolphins, taken underwater, and forced to build a multilevel, multifamily structure made from coral.
But if you were hoping to hop on the waiting list for a unit in the building once it was finished… it sounds like you’ll have to keep waiting.
“Good fences make good neighbors”
Speaking of viral stories, you may have seen one making the rounds about a homeowner who discovered their neighbor’s fence was built a couple of feet over the property line. Instead of apologizing or discussing how to fix it, the neighbor reportedly claimed “squatters’ rights” and insisted the land was now theirs. Most likely that claim won’t hold up, but it sounds like the courts will have to sort it out.
Situations that extreme are rare, but fence disputes between neighbors actually happen more often than people realize. Which is why I recently published an article with several tips worth keeping in mind if you’re thinking about installing a fence of your own.
It’s a lot easier to plan things out upfront than to argue about them after the posts are already in the ground.

Meme of the Week
On one hand, I’m obviously just joking…
But the longer days really are a huge deal to me (and my buyers) at this time of year!
Would you grab coffee here?
Whether it’s a home or a business, the old saying about location, location, location being the three most important things in real estate usually holds true. When it comes to businesses, that normally means a spot that’s easy to find, easy to reach, has plenty of parking, and hopefully plenty of walk-in traffic.
But apparently the exact opposite can work too…
If you’re looking for a caffeine kick and an adrenaline rush, this cliffside café might be worth checking out. Just make sure you have reservations before rappelling down to sip your coffee while dangling over the ocean.
Saving for a house isn’t as easy as many experts make it sound
It seems like every few years someone comes up with a new way to make saving for a house down payment sound not only possible, but easy. There was the “Latte Factor,” where buyers were told skipping their daily coffee would do the trick. Then came the warnings about avocado toast. Now there’s something called the “$27.39 Rule,” which suggests simply saving that much per day.
If only it were always that easy!
The advice is well-meaning and meant to be encouraging, but at times it can come across as a bit tone deaf. That’s why I recently published an article sharing some perspective on why saving for a down payment can feel so difficult — and why even small, consistent progress still matters more than any catchy rule..

And just like that, Halloween will be right around the corner again!
On the fence about robots taking over?
Some people think we should be worried about robots taking over the world. Some aren’t worried about it at all. Only time will tell how concerned we should be, but for now, it looks like we have some time before it’s a real threat.
At least based upon what happened to one homeowner in California…
Real estate contract cancellations are at a “record high”
According to recent headlines, real estate contract cancellations are at their highest January level since 2017. However, while that might sound alarming, it’s only a 0.6 percentage point increase compared to last January, and a 2.7 percentage point increase compared to January 2017.
Unfortunately, headlines are often designed to grab your attention, not necessarily make things sound normal.
While the claims are factually correct, cancellations are normal, and the increases are not as drastic as they may sound. If you want a more objective take on what’s going on, check out this article I recently published.

Your “perfect house” might be rare, but I’m pretty confident we can find it well before the next leap year rolls around in 2028.
Just to be safe, let me know what you’re looking for so I can start keeping an eye out! 😉
Can you hear me now?
We’ve probably all had moments where a neighbor’s noise made us lose a little sleep — loud music, late-night gatherings, maybe a barking dog that just won’t quit. For the most part, you just grin and bear it. But if it’s a bit too loud or too often, perhaps you share a few choice words with your neighbor about it.
But if you ever feel tempted to solve a neighbor dispute with a megaphone, know that she ended up getting sentenced to three months in jail and was given a $3,600 fine.
Before you even head out to grab some paint samples…
A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to update your home before it hits the market. But if you’ve ever tried to pick the perfect color, you know what it’s like to stand in the paint aisle staring at 47 slightly different shades of “warm neutral” and hope you don’t make the wrong choice.
Which is probably why a recent article I came across reported that more and more homeowners are hiring paint color consultants to avoid getting it wrong.
But before you spend money on that, you might want to check out this article I recently published. It breaks down what those services typically cost — and shares a few other ways to get solid guidance on choosing the right color… including just giving me a ring before you start updating.

What’s the name of the custom color Walt Disney World created to hide doors they don’t want people to notice or enter?:
You’re supposed to leave your house in “broom clean” condition for the buyer when you sell your house, which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. It often boils down to sellers feeling like they left the place looking immaculate, and buyers wondering if the seller even owned a broom.
But it is kind of subjective…
Which is probably why so many sellers think they’re being super thoughtful when they leave certain things behind, but buyers end up feeling like you just left them something to figure out what to do with or get rid of.

If yours is “Emoh Maerd,” I’d be glad to make a few introductions. 😍
Not the kind of open house any seller wants
A lot of homeowners picture their agent advertising an open house and having a steady stream of buyers come through when it hits the market.
What they don’t picture is a random teenager advertising a pop-up party online, charging a cover fee, setting up a DJ in the living room, and lighting off fireworks in the bedroom.
As you can imagine, the party-goers leave behind quite a mess, and some expensive repairs. Still better than a squatter, I suppose… but you can add this to the list of reasons it’s not a bad idea to have timer lights, cameras, or a security system in place when a home is sitting vacant.
What to do when you love a house that’s priced too high
With Valentine’s Day week here, it feels fitting to talk about what happens when you fall in love… with a house that’s priced higher than it should be.
A lot of buyers feel like their only options are to wait it out or walk away. And while that’s often the advice you’ll hear, it’s not always the only strategy. Sometimes there’s an opportunity to step up thoughtfully, make your interest known, and open the door to a productive conversation before the seller ever drops the price.
I recently published an article that breaks down how this works, just in case you ever find yourself falling in love with a house that the seller has overpriced.

Meme of the Week
A few days is probably pushing it… but hey, I’m always up for a challenge if you’re in a pinch.
In the market for a new birdhouse?
Most real estate offices don’t get much walk-in traffic these days, so it’s always a surprise when someone actually shows up at the door.
If you really want to surprise me next time you’re thinking about buying or selling, feel free to stop by instead of calling or texting… and if you want to do it with a little extra flair, a peacock costume wouldn’t hurt.
A fear a lot of first-time buyers don’t talk about
When people say they’re not sure they’re ready to buy a home yet, they often blame prices, rates, or competition. And sometimes that really is the issue. But for a lot of first-time buyers, there’s something sitting a little below the surface that doesn’t always get mentioned… or even recognized.
For many potential first-time buyers, the idea of getting pre-approved for a mortgage feels intimidating, which can stop them before they even get to the point of worrying about prices, rates, or competition.
I recently published an article about why that fear is far more common than people admit, and why getting pre-approved is usually much less scary than it sounds. Give it a read if this feels familiar — or feel free to share it with a first-time buyer you think might benefit from it.

As luck would have it…
A 70-year-old Louisiana man was sleeping in his living room when a car crashed through his house and landed right on top of him.
Fortunately, he was okay. In fact, he felt good enough to ask the ambulance driver to stop on the way to the hospital so he could buy a lottery ticket, figuring it must have been his lucky day.
But this wasn’t his first lucky day… His house has been hit by cars five times since he’s lived there. Some might call that the unluckiest location imaginable — but he seems to prefer a very glass-half-full approach to life.
If only my house had _________________.
It’s actually fairly normal for people to look around their home and feel like they’d finally be happy — and never have to move again — if it just had this, that, or another thing.
A lot of people try to sort that feeling out by talking to friends, family, or even running scenarios through ChatGPT. That can all be helpful, but sometimes it just creates more noise.

6 funny ways for sellers to choose which buyer wins a bidding war
It probably sounds ideal to have multiple offers when you’re selling your home — and don’t get me wrong, it absolutely is!
But it’s also not quite the no-brainer many sellers expect it to be. Saying “no” to one or more buyers can actually be harder (and more stressful) than saying “yes” to the one you choose. And when the offers are close, picking between them isn’t always easy.
Unless you’ve been through it yourself, it’s hard to appreciate just how stressful a multiple-offer situation can be. Whether you’ve experienced it as a seller, hope to one day, or are in the middle of it right now, this funny list of creative ways for sellers to choose between buyers should at least give you a good laugh.

One of the many things no one warns you about in this career. 😅
What’s something you find yourself saying all the time that you never imagined you would?
Maybe you can find a better deal on Expedia?
High-end hotels are known for sky-high prices, but one new hotel set to open in 2032 is taking that literally.
A 21-year-old plans to build the world’s first moon hotel, and he’s already offering pre-construction reservations with down payments ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the options you choose.
Is it safe to assume the $250,000 package comes with a view of the parking lot and dumpsters?
The part of the “Great Wealth Transfer” no one really mentions
There’s been a lot of talk lately about the “great wealth transfer,” and it’s often painted as heirs receiving a big windfall they’ll use to live a more lavish lifestyle.
For many families, though, a large portion of that wealth is tied up in homes. And before heirs see a dime of usable money, they often have to spend some of their own just to maintain the property. Between taxes, insurance, upkeep, and repairs, the costs can add up quickly, and can be a real strain during an already emotional time.
I recently published an article that looks at these realities and encourages open, thoughtful conversations within families, so when the time comes, the process is as smooth and manageable as possible for everyone involved.

This may or may not have actually happened… but just in case, please come to my next open house so I’m not left alone with the cookies. 😅
Where’s the bathroom?!
Real estate agents will sometimes leave little notes or signs around a house to point out features buyers might overlook — “Pantry this way,” “Bonus room upstairs,” that sort of thing. Most of the time they’re helpful but not exactly necessary.
But then there are times when they’re absolutely essential…
For instance, a penthouse in Melbourne recently made headlines for a pretty unusual layout. The bathroom is so well hidden that you’d never find it unless the agent left a note saying you need to crawl through the fireplace in order to reach it!
You might be ‘just looking’… until you’re not
Building more homes keeps coming up as one of the most talked-about solutions to housing affordability, and it’s a topic that isn’t going away anytime soon. While we’re not seeing a massive wave of new construction everywhere just yet, it is starting to pop up in some areas — and it got me thinking about a common mistake buyers can make without realizing it.
I just published an article about why casually stopping into a model home can limit your ability to have your own agent represent you later, and why that very first visit matters more than most buyers expect.
If you ever come across a new construction development — even if it’s just out of curiosity — feel free to bring me along. You never know when “just looking” turns into finding the one.
