03/23/2023 Collaborator Spotlight-StretchLab
As you all know, we honor a special teacher and an everyday hero each month. We do this for several reasons. One, we like knowing who is making a difference in our community and sharing that with more people. Two, we know that most of the time, that person is not recognized as much as […]
Importance of Referrals
There’s an old saying that people buy people before they buy _____ (I would say Real Estate in this blank). In sales, more often than not, your job is not just to sell the product or service, but to sell yourself. Convince people that you are the best person for a job. That your product […]
Meet Michelle
I want to take a moment to formally introduce you to Michelle Reeves. Michelle has been with the team since April. She is our Ops Boss® and wears LOTS of hats. Most of what she does can be summed up as “making sure the team communicates well and adequately.” It is so easy for me, Brett, […]
What is “normal”?
Normal is such a nebulous word. What does it even mean? Whose normal are we talking about? In real estate, this word is thrown around all the time and quite frankly, it is nearly meaningless. “Normal” is so fact dependent and unique for situations it is almost impossible to define.

Folks tend to have short memories and these things were practically gone for the past couple years. 1) Home Sale Contingencies–Never has been the most welcome part of a contract but for the past couple years, they’ve been next to impossible to […]
Unsolicited Real Estate Update

If you are thinking of selling, this is a great time, but it might be different than the stories your friends told […]
Diving Into the Numbers
This week’s email will be lots of numbers and commentary on the numbers. It is definitely interesting to dive into how the market feels and what the numerical snapshot is. It feels like we’ve hit a wall. My favorite analogy is of a moving sidewalk at the airport. If you’ve ever gotten on one and walked on it, […]
What is “The Market”?
“The market” is such a unique term. It is used by so many to discuss so many different things, yet they mostly mean (or try to mean) the same thing. Here’s what I mean. If some random stranger comes to me and says “How’s the Market”, I ask for clarification. Does that stranger mean the […]
New Construction Buyer Agent?? Why? I’ll Just Talk to the Nice On-Site Agent.
Long title for this email but a SERIOUS question. I’ll show you below that new construction sales are BOOMING right now. Much more so than resale homes. Builders are building, developments are coming online, and people are flocking to neighborhoods from all over the place. One thing that happens very, very often is that buyers […]
