When your childhood habits collide with being a Realtor. 😂
Turn off the lights? ❌
Leave the lights on for buyers? ✅
My mother’s inner voice is still winning, though.
The struggle is REAL. 🏡😂
A white is not just a white. Many things factor into this. Sorry no rash decisions will be made on my watch.
It’s been a long few weeks of straight rain minus 1 day of ☀️. We are doing ok. Are we doing ok? Idk anymore.

It may not officially be Fall, however warmer weather is fleeting. Check over your home while you still have time and warmer weather allows. 🍁 🍂 ☀️
IF you have a POOL and/or an IRRIGATION system now is the time to call and get yourself on schedule to winterize.

At 400 4th Street SE, Altoona, Iowa you don’t have to choose between beautiful and functional—you get both.
👇 Which one are you picking?
KITCHEN 🍽️ or BATH 🛁?
My job sounds a little suspicious when you explain it this way…
I know when you’re not home.
I have the code to your house.
I let myself in.
I photograph your entire house.
I put it on the internet for strangers to critique.
Then I negotiate six figures with another stranger…
and somehow, everyone just hands me the keys.
Real estate.
Totally normal. 😂
