Back in 2022, this moment happened for our family. 🤍 We had been searching for a home for YEARS. Yes, I said years. It happens. 😂

We would look, get excited, and then realize it wasn’t the one. There were so many moments of wondering if we would ever find the home that felt like ours.

And then we found this one.

It needed work. It wasn’t perfect. But almost immediately, we could see our family here. We could see this being the place we stayed for a really, really long time.

I’ll never forget bringing Sophia through the house for the first time. Watching her explore what would become her home brought tears to my eyes because I wasn’t just looking at the rooms anymore. I was picturing our life here.

I pictured her walking down these stairs before a high school dance someday. I pictured birthday parties and kids running through the backyard. I pictured holidays, sleepovers, family dinners and all of the ordinary little moments that would eventually become the memories we’d never want to forget.

And because I was pregnant with Charlie at the time, I pictured bringing him home here, too. 🤍

Fun fact: We ended up moving in ONE WEEK BEFORE HIS DUE DATE. 😂 That is a story for another day because... what were we thinking?!

How to lose a house in 10 days… 🏡

Sounds dramatic, but when you’re under contract, a few seemingly small decisions can put your home purchase at risk.
Once you’re under contract, your financial picture still matters. Just because you’ve been pre-approved doesn’t mean you’re completely done with the financing process.

My biggest advice? When in doubt, ask your lender before you make the move. A quick conversation could save you from a very stressful situation later.

Buying a home is a big deal and I want to help you make it all the way to the closing table. 🔑

Save this one for later and send it to someone who’s house hunting!

🚨 NEW LISTING ALERT 🚨

We have a BOO-tiful new home hitting the market, and I have to say… the attention to detail is unmatched. 👻🏠

This one-of-a-kind property features:
🎃 Custom orange-piped windows
✨ Decorative sprinkle detailing throughout
🦴 A BRAND NEW roof complete with premium bone sprinkles
💀 Its very own security guard on-site 24/7 (he is a gingerbread man, but he takes his job very seriously)
🎃 And festive pumpkin décor already in place for the holidays!

A few disclosures before scheduling your showing:
We cannot guarantee the structural integrity of the home.

We cannot confirm the condition of the foundation.
The roof appears to be held together primarily by icing.
And the seller has made no representations regarding paranormal activity. 👻

But LOOK AT THAT CURB APPEAL.
So… who wants to make an offer?!
I’m thinking we start the bidding at $10. 😂

Cash offers preferred. Inspections strongly discouraged 😝.

Happy spooky season from our family to yours! 🎃👻🏠

And of course, this is all in good fun. 😂 If you’re looking to build your own haunted dream home, we found these kits at Aldi! Highly recommend for a little family Halloween fun. 🎃

If you let your kiddo pick any color to paint a room in your house… what would they choose? 🎨👀

We recently painted one of our bathrooms downstairs and my son got to help us choose the color! Although it wasn’t his favorite, Buckeye Red, he liked the green options for Christmas.

Which got me thinking… if you’re sitting with your kids tonight, ask them:

“If you could paint any room in our house *ANY* color you wanted, what room would you choose and what color would you pick?”

And don’t give them any rules, let them dream BIG.

I have a feeling the answers might be… interesting. 🧐😂

Tell me what your kids would choose! 👇🏼

Sophia came home from school with this little heart she was asked to fill with all of her favorite things. ❤️
And yes, candy and ice cream definitely made the cut. 🤣🍦🍬

But so did home.
Playing with Charlie.
Their grandparents house.
Sitting around the campfire making s’mores.
And doing arts and crafts together at our kitchen table.

And I don’t know why, but it really got me.

Because sometimes we get so caught up in wanting our homes to be bigger, cleaner, more updated or filled with the latest and greatest things.

Meanwhile, our kiddos are reminding us that they really don’t care about any of that.

They remember the kitchen table covered in craft supplies.
The backyard where they played with their sibling.
The campfires and s’mores.
The people they love and the moments they shared with them.

Our homes don’t have to be perfect to hold some of our favorite memories. ❤️

And maybe that’s one of the reasons I love what I do so much. Real estate isn’t just about bedrooms, bathrooms or square footage. It’s about helping families find the space where their own little moments get to happen.

The kitchen table where masterpieces are created.
The backyard where siblings become best friends and nights under the stars begin.
The place everyone comes home to.

If your family is ready for a new space to make those memories, I’d absolutely love to help you find it. 🔑

Let’s start your next chapter, together.

There’s nothing quite like spending the day touring beautiful homes and calling it “work.” 🏡✨

Our Chapter & Key team had the opportunity to attend the 2026 BIA Parade of Homes, touring homes throughout Central Ohio and getting an up-close look at some of the newest trends, design choices, floor plans and builders in our market.

One of our favorite parts? Discovering builders and communities we hadn’t had the opportunity to experience before.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have so many talented builders here in Central Ohio, and events like this give us the chance to continue learning about what’s being built, where it’s being built and the different options available at a variety of price points.

Because while touring gorgeous homes is definitely fun 😉, the real value is being able to take that knowledge back to our clients.

Whether you’re considering building from the ground up, purchasing a quick move-in home or simply wondering what new construction options are available around Columbus, we want to be a resource for you.
A huge thank you to the BIA and all of the builders who opened their doors and shared their work with us. We left with plenty of inspiration, new connections and even more knowledge to share with our clients. 🔑

Behind every move is a new chapter. ❤️

Family fun + baseball = a pretty perfect Columbus night ⚾️

We had the best time at a Clippers game earlier this summer! If you’re looking for an easy family-friendly activity, a night at the ballpark is such a fun way to get everyone out of the house, enjoy some good food, and make a few memories along the way. 🏟️🌭✨

And if you’ve been meaning to make it to a game this season, this is the last weekend of the 2026 season!

Just another reason I love Columbus, there’s always something fun happening right here in our own backyard. ❤️
