Members of the Amarillo Association of Realtors, including Realtors, Lenders, Escrow Officers, and local business owners came together with one common goal: to serve our community and help build a home for someone in need. 🏡

We may work for different companies, but we share the same community — and the same heart for serving it. 🫶🏼

Thank you to everyone who came and thank you Amarillo Habitat For Humanity for allowing us the privilege to serve!

I LOVE community and collaboration, and this is my favorite thing to do!

When I decided to become a Realtor, I was nervous about the competition and selfishness that one might encounter in a commission based industry…

But Amarillo has proved that we are a community of love and grace. I have truly encountered the BEST people and I’m grateful and honored to serve beside them!!

Our Community Outreach Committee (with the Association of Realtors) volunteered yesterday with Amarillo Habitat For Humanity to build a house for those in need.

What a joy and privilege!! Coming along side fellow Realtors and associates (lenders, title companies, and a cleaning company Beloved Cleaning Co ) is absolutely fulfilling. THANK YOU to all who served and to all of you who have selfless, collaborative hearts in a world full of greed. You are the light and I’m honored to serve our community with you!! 🫶🏼

And, for anyone who is a member of AAR, our next volunteer opportunity is Nov 12 at Transformation Park!

As my term as Chair of the Outreach Committee comes to an end, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and absolute joy. Thank you to everyone who has served on this committee, past, present and future!

Life Lately….
I took a commercial real estate class, thanks to Natasha Reavis Lighthouse Title Company ! They fed us breakfast and lunch and brought in an amazing instructor… Natasha is the most amazing hostess. 🥰
We’ve gotten some much needed rain here in the panhandle and I’m soaking it up! 🌧️🙌🏼
I’m chasing kids to all the football games and cross country meets and my mileage hit 244444. 😅
Simple pleasures of coffee from my great grandma’s tea cup.
My favorite colors to wear match the earth and I’ve been obsessed lately with the topic of atonement.
A group of us from the Community Outreach Committee with the Amarillo Association of Realtors, volunteered an accumulative 8 hours and $1,000 to the High Plains Food Bank, on behalf of AAR.
I went to a TRLP Alumni luncheon and am thankful to have won a gift card!
It’s far from perfect but I’m so grateful for this life I’ve been a part of creating. I’m always looking for the line where personal responsibility and stewardship match surrender and trust. I do my best each day to follow where the Lord leads and He’s given me such richness in knowing Him, my family, my career, my community, and all He’s set in place for me to do and be. 🙌🏼

Continuing our discussion about investments…
My friends bought a duplex!! 🥳

They didn’t buy it to make a lot of money.
They bought it to secure an asset for their family.

Their parents will live in one side; their daughter and her husband will live in the other!

I’ve heard people say “I’ll buy when prices come back down.” 😳 And to be honest, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I’m not even sure rates will come back down, significantly or any time soon.

I’ve heard others in the industry say “Now is always the time to buy” and while I don’t necessarily agree with that, I do think when the time is right for YOU, you shouldn’t let fear or lack of education hold you back. I think people invest in real estate for a reason.

I recently had my personal house appraised and it has increased in value by 70% since I bought it in 2018! 🤯

The first house I bought was a 3/1/1 for $74,000. It closed in 2025 for $95,000 more ($169,000)!! My kids will be paying 2-3x more for their first house than what I paid for mine. (I paid 10x what my parents paid for theirs!)

Prices will always feel high. I am just here to be an encouragement! Where there is a will, there is a way, even if the time for you is NOT right now. If you want to buy a house (personal or investment), but don’t think you can, we can talk with a lender and get a personal plan for you, so when the time is right, you’ll be ready!

And not to take away from my precious friends/clients because I’m so happy for them and proud of them and excited that their family gets to enjoy this asset for years to come!! 🙌🏼💕

Congratulations to Rachel Holloway & Brandon and their family on their purchase!! Thank you again, sincerely, for allowing me the opportunity to work for you!! 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Thank you to The Connie Taylor Group Connie Courtney Taylor for an awesome job on the selling side, for communication and quick responses! Thank you to Stephanie Alfonsi Chicago Title Amarillo because you went above & beyond and worked late evenings and all weekend for us on this one! 😅
I’m grateful for you all!!

I sold a couple of investment properties earlier this month and investments have been on my mind…

Have you ever thought about investing?
Have you considered different types of investment properties?

• long term rental
• furnished short term rental (like AirBnB or VRBO)
• furnished mid-term (like Furnished Finder)
• flip 🙃
• multifamily (duplex, quadplex, small apt, large apt…)

These houses were owned by the same couple and used for the same purpose. They had been renting them, furnished, to the plant workers in Borger, for $200 per WEEK per Bedroom!! (So 5 bedrooms = $1,000/wk = $4,000/mo.)
Prior to that they had them as long term rentals, one went for $650/mo, the other for $750/mo.

Huge difference in the price, depending on if it’s furnished and how the lease is structured!
Someone bought both of these houses for less than $100,000 TOTAL (2 houses for the price of 1)!!
Imagine paying approximately $1,000/month, but getting paid $4,000/month! That’s a no brainer!! Right?

I’ve worked with several clients who flip houses and that’s a nice return! It’s something to consider when you need quick money.

If you are in it for the long haul, a steady long term tenant who takes good care of the house, might be the best way to go.

Or if you want to furnish it, mid-term seems like a win-win to me! You can charge quite a bit more, and you can work on it between tenants for continual upkeep and maintenance.

Idk… just some thoughts!
Let me know what you think!! Are you a landlord? The horror stories are legit, but is the benefit worth the risk? Give me the good, the bad and the ugly! 👇🏼

Real discussion about the pros & cons of investing in real estate!!

If you would have told me this story a month ago, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. 😆

August 18th I get a call from an unknown number. Of course I answer it! He asked if I was a Realtor and said they were in the process of looking for one and were going to interview a few. At the end of that conversation he said “you know what? You come highly recommended. I’m not even going to call anyone else. We want to work with you!”

So we set up a time to meet 2 days later. At the consultation, I asked what they were looking for. He said he saw a house just hit the market (and I mean JUST! It had been on the market for 57 minutes!!) and it’s what they are looking for. I asked if they want to go see it right now and they said yes! 30 minutes later we were in that house! As we were walking out they said “write us up an offer!!” So I wrote it up that night and we were executed the next day!

30 days from that first phone call, we were sitting at the closing table. Met & Closed in 1 month!! 🙌🏼

And it’s all possible because of Allissa Maldonado and her team Planet Home !! They are attentive and quick and work long hours, yet still always so friendly & professional.

Thank you also to Elizabeth Massey DeBault Title because her work is flawless (as far as I can tell!) and her attitude is fun, sweet & professional too. I always love working with her!

At that first meeting, Ken told me & Alli, “Let’s set one thing straight here. From now on, we’re family!” And they truly made both of us feel like family. Christi said she told her son’s “y’all got new sisters today!” 😆🥰 After closing, they each gave gifts to me & Alli and signed our cards, from Mom & Pop! 🫠 Truly so special!

And as always, TylerHarang does my heavy work!! He makes sure all compliance docs are signed and in the system and keeps all parts working in sync. Can’t thank him enough!

And Tamara Lemaster 😭🫠💕 THE BEST!!!! Thank you Tamara for all you did for me, including the kind words, upbeat attitude, working overtime, and sacrifices made!!! 🫶🏼

What a joy!! We celebrate Ken & Christi today! 🥳

We finally got to fund on a property that we closed on a week and a half ago! What a crazy deal.

First of all, let me say THANK YOU to my clients for hiring me and being so great to work with!!! THANK YOU to Tanner Dean and Doug Duncan | Lubbock Realtor for the referral!!! I’m sincerely so grateful! 🫶🏼

And thank you to DeeDee Lovelady Lawyers Title Amarillo / Escrow Services / Title Surveys because I know this one was a doozy for you!! 🥴
Thank you to Jayci Saenz for kindness, grace, and hard work! And Pablo Sintas, Realtor deserves a shout out because he helped me with the county work when I was listing it!! He did not have to help me, but he did when he had nothing to gain!

Now let me tell you how important it is to close at a title company! 🤓 When the title company opened the title on this property, they discovered that the deed had not been properly transferred when my sellers purchased the property several years ago. The previous owner was no longer living, so the title company had to locate his son and get him to sign the necessary paperwork to clear the title and give my sellers the legal ability to sell the property.

He agreed to sign…but then weeks went by. And still no signature.

So what did we do? Their son DROVE 8 HOURS to meet him in person, get the deed signed, and hand-deliver it back to the title company so we could finally get this closing funded!

HUGE THANK YOU to Alex Rameriz!!!!! You are an inspiration to me and you amaze me!! If you are ever in need of a bilingual mortgage lender in Lubbock, Alex is your guy!! He is the one who is willing to go above & beyond and jump through hoops to get a deal done!! I honestly thought this one was dead in the water, but Alex resurrected it with seconds to spare! Way to go Alex, I can’t thank you enough!!!

This is also a good reminder that a title company does so much more than just handle the closing table. They uncover title issues, work through complicated situations, and help make sure the property can legally transfer to the new owner.

It definitely took a team effort to get this one across the finish line—and we are SO thankful it did!

(I was supposed to go to a parent orientation at the school, so I had Kate stay in Wildorado until I came for the meeting, but my day ran late and I missed the meeting. My mom is the best y’all… she had dinner homemade and packed up for me to bring home to my family! 🥹💕)
What a full and fabulous day it was!!!
