Words like these are why I love this work.

"Purchase of the condo 2023, purchase of the house 2024, plus the sale of the condo in 2024, Dori handled all for me. Rough waters out there as buyer and seller, she guided me through for all transactions. Bidding wars, multiple offers, purchasing and selling is stressful enough, she fought for me on all transactions these last few years. I have in the past and will refer in the future again Dori to friends and family."
— Teresa G., Zillow review

Thinking about selling before the holidays? In the fall, your price matters more than any other decision you'll make.

Here's how I approach it with every seller:
1. Your price comes from what sold near you in the last 60 to 90 days, not from spring headlines or an online estimate.
2. I recommend listing at or slightly below value. Overpriced homes sit longer and usually sell for less.
3. A price cut later often costs more than pricing right on day one. One recent example from the MLS: a well-updated brick ranch with a pool sat about three weeks at its original price, then went under contract roughly a week after a price cut of about 5%.

Markets change. My responsibility to my clients doesn't.

If you'd like an honest read on what your home would sell for today, call or text me. I base it on recent comparable sales and your home's own features.

Livingston County homeowners, here's what September told us.

The county's median sale price reached $415,000 in September 2026, up 2.5% from $405,000 in September 2025 and the highest September median in five years.

249 homes sold, up 4.6% from 238 a year ago. Homes averaged 26 days on market, down from 38 last September. And 612 homes were on the market, up 24% from 493.

What it means if you're selling: values held, and well-priced homes are selling faster than a year ago. With more homes for sale, buyers compare more closely, so your price needs to come from recent sales near you, not last spring's headlines.

Wondering where your home fits? I'm glad to walk you through what's selling in your neighborhood. No pressure, no obligation.

A preapproval is a starting point, not the finish line.

Before making an offer, buyers should understand what the lender has actually verified, which conditions remain, and whether the property type fits the loan program.

Good questions before the offer can prevent expensive surprises later.

What part of financing would you like explained in plain English?

A seller asked the right question: “Do I really need to remodel before I list?”

Not necessarily.

I start by looking at the condition of the home, the competition, and which updates are likely to matter to buyers. The goal isn't to spend the most. It's to spend wisely.

If you're thinking about selling, what would you want to fix first?

Multiple offers. One winning strategy.

In a multiple-offer situation, the strongest offer isn't always the highest one. It's the one built around what the seller needs most, with clean terms and a buyer who's prepared.

Congratulations to my buyers on their new home. It was an honor to guide you through it.

Thinking about buying this year? Let's talk strategy before you write your first offer.
