Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker West

10/30/2026

Not exactly the call you want to get when you’re under contract. 😅 But it also doesn’t automatically mean the deal is dead.

Depending on how the offer was written, there are actually several ways this can play out, from renegotiating the price to challenging the appraisal, covering some or all of the gap, or finding a solution somewhere in the middle.

Swipe for what actually happens next → and why the way your offer is structured matters long before the appraisal ever comes back.

Friendly reminder: having the right person protecting your interests matters.

And just like that, it's fall in real estate. 🍂

Fall in real estate has its own kind of energy. Serious buyers, motivated sellers, new listings hitting the market, and everyone suddenly realizing the holidays are a lot closer than they thought.
..oh, and showings in the dark. 😅

New season, same Realtor. Just better weather, earlier sunsets, and significantly more coffee. ☕️

Pocket listings are having a MOMENT right now. And I get it… “exclusive,” “private,” and “off-market” all sound like something you’re being given rather than something you might actually be giving up.

But exclusive doesn’t automatically mean better.

If your goal is to get the best possible price and terms, limiting how many buyers can see your home may also limit the competition you could create.

Are there times when selling privately makes sense? Absolutely. But it should be because it benefits you, not because “off-market” sounds like the cool thing to do.

We’re so careful about how we spend our money, but not always nearly as careful about how we spend our time...

And unlike money, you can’t earn more of it.

The meetings you didn’t need to say yes to. The things you keep doing out of obligation. The people who drain you. The hours spent worrying about things you can’t control (we've all been there).

It all costs something.

So spend your time on purpose.
On the people who make you laugh.
On the goals that keep you up at night (in the good way).
On the moments you'll want to remember 10 years from now.

Spend it on the people, work, experiences, and little everyday moments that are actually worth the price.

Rating my habits as a Realtor, and I’m giving them all a 10/10. No notes. (Okay, maybe a few. 😅)

Some I’ll defend forever because they’re the little things that actually make a big difference for my clients.

The rest? Still a work in progress.

Apparently I offer a lot of services that never made it onto the official Realtor job description. 😂

Curious what your house could sell for? Send me a text. Want to grab coffee and talk about a move you might make three years from now? I’m in. Need to know why that house has been sitting for 97 days? I’ve probably already looked...

You absolutely do not need to be ready to buy or sell to call me. 📲

In fact, some of my favorite conversations start with, “Okay, this is totally hypothetical, but…” 👀

Your home's first showing to a buyer in today's market is a two-second scroll on someone’s 6-inch phone while they’re half watching TV. 😅

And the first thing they see? The outside of your home.

That’s why your home's curb appeal matters, especially as we head into the colder months when everything outside isn’t quite as green, bright, and naturally beautiful.

Some quick tips:
✓ Fresh mulch, trimmed landscaping, a clean walkway, and a welcoming front entry can go a long way in making your home stand out.

You don’t need a major landscaping overhaul. You just need to make those first few seconds count. 👀

Because you only get one chance at a first impression...and these days, it happens on a screen.

Here’s what sellers don’t always realize: showing feedback is filtered.

Sometimes buyers don’t tell their agent exactly what they thought. Sometimes a showing agent is involved, and the feedback gets passed through multiple people. Sometimes agents don’t leave feedback at all. And when they do, everyone is usually trying to be polite.

So “they liked it, but went another direction” could mean a dozen different things.

That’s why I don’t make listing decisions based on one feedback form. I look for patterns: showings, repeat visits, online activity, competing homes, offers, price changes, and what buyers ultimately chose instead.

And sometimes the most useful feedback is no feedback at all.

If buyers see the house but consistently choose something else, the market is still telling us something. 👀

Opportunity rarely waits for us to feel ready. 📣

Most of the time, what holds us back isn't a bad choice. It's no choice at all. We tell ourselves we'll decide next month, once things settle, once we know more. And in the meantime, life keeps moving without us.

Here's the truth: a decision made with courage will almost always take you further than a perfect plan that never leaves your head.

So whatever you've been sitting on, whether it's a big move, a fresh start, or finally chasing that goal, consider this your sign. Take one step today. Clarity comes from motion, not from waiting.

File this under: things nobody warns you about when you become a homeowner. 😅

Yes, your mortgage payment can go up, even with a fixed interest rate...

Usually, it’s because your property taxes or homeowners insurance increased. Maybe your local tax rate changed, your assessment went up after improvements, or your insurance simply renewed at a higher premium.

It’s one of those homeowner things nobody explains until you open your statement and go, “Wait… WHAT?”

Swipe for the breakdown. →

And if you get an escrow statement and can’t figure out what changed, send it to me. I’m happy to go through it with you, whether or not you're buying or selling (or planning to).
