😍🥰🤩 Picture Perfect❤

Picture it: The year is 2020, and you're a forward-thinking parent preparing to support your student's educational journey at The Florida State University. Initially considering dorm life, you opt for a more strategic approach, choosing to invest in a property where your student could "earn while they learn." After careful consideration, you secure a charming 2-bedroom, 2-and-a-half-bath townhome, just minutes away from campus, for an investment of $83,000 USD.

Fast forward four years. Your scholar has successfully graduated and moved to D.C. to pursue their dreams of attending medical school. With this new chapter ahead, you decide to sell the townhome and leverage the proceeds to acquire another property in D.C. Seeking guidance, you turn to an experienced and professional realtor—yours truly—to navigate the sale seamlessly. Through skillful negotiations and expert guidance, I assist you in selling the townhome you initially purchased for $83,000 four years ago, fetching an impressive $160,000 in today's market.

This success story not only underscores the power of strategic investing but also highlights the value of working with a dedicated professional to achieve your real estate goals. Here's to celebrating your student's accomplishments and embracing the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in D.C.! 🏡✨

Please join us Sunday from 2pm-4pm for our Open House at 817 Abbiegail Drive. This 2,300 sq. ft., 5 bedroom, 3 bath home is conveniently located minutes from downtown, shopping and parks.

Marry the 🏡 house; date the rate.

What does this mean? 🤔

✔️It means, buy the house you want. But committing to the house doesn't mean you have to commit to the 💸💸💸financing available now forever.

✔️Smart homeowners always look for a better financing opportunity, and make the move when the time is right.

✔️You can always change your financing to more favorable terms later, should better rates and products become available.

✔️And if rates only get worse, then you'll be glad you married the house when you did. ♥️

Let's chat and discuss if now is the right time for you to make a move!

Patience is DEFINITELY a Virtue!!

Absolutely honored to help my 21 year old client purchase his first property 🏡🙌🏾🎉! His mortgage payment is less than what currently pays for rent and he plans to lease his spare bedroom to generate income 👏🏾. Thanks to a few creative strategies, I was able to get the seller to contribute 💲,💲💲💲 towards closing costs and my client left closing with CASHBACK!!

I finally took a few moments to reflect on my 2021 "Year in Review" and here's what I discovered.

I have control issues😲-last year I hired an amazing assistant, yet I'm not utilizing her as much as I should.

I am resilient💪🏾-but even resiliency comes at a cost. At some point you have to shift out of survival mode. When my dad passed last year, I pushed through the process but still haven't fully processed.

I am surrounded by some AMAZING people❤️, and I don't take our friendship for granted. Every call, tag, text, dm, referral, prayer, affirmation, word of encouragement and virtual hug means more to me than you'll ever realize.

Because of your unwavering support, I was able to:
🏡Assist 38 families across 4 states with their real estate needs
💰Donate $20,538 to local charities
Serve on the city's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
✅🤝Finally settle V2's grievances in FB court. Apparently, y'all are quite fond of the little boy and have offered pro-bono legal advice.
📅End the year with 6 million closed, 4 million pending and at the Top 15% 🙌🏾.

I only share this because if you've known me long enough, you KNOW what my journey entailed. But if you don't and need encouragement, call me.

Cheers to an INCREDIBLE 2022! We GOT this🙃

Super excited for my clients who decided to ring in the new year with a new 🏡!

Honored to be selected out of 1 million agents as a recipient of the Top 15% Award for 2021!

Last year was unlike any other that we’ve seen in the real estate industry 🄴🅅🄴🅁, so extremely grateful that my hard work 💪🏾and dedication to my clients hasn’t gone unnoticed❤️!

The house that I featured as a coming soon on Thursday, went live Friday at noon. After a weekend of double digit showings, my clients had to make a decision as to which offer to accept. As their trusted real estate advisor, it was vital that I point out the most significant terms, explain the merit of looking at more than just the amount offered and provide them with information necessary for them to make a decision that’s best for their unique situation.

Selling a home is MUCH more than just putting a sign in the yard! Make sure you hire someone who has YOUR best interest at heart and can guide you through the complexities of the transaction.
