From Chaos to Cozy: Fast Fixes for a Thanksgiving-Ready Home
Hey friends, So, here we are — that magical time of year when the scent of cinnamon, turkey, and mild panic starts filling the air.

Should You Real Estate When Real Estate is BORING?
I've been in real estate for ::gulp:: 10 years now and it's got me doing a lot of reflecting honestly. Reflecting on past markets, past motivations, current market, current motivations. I had a glass of wine with an old friend last night and was rolling it all around with her and I had a little revelation about the whole thing.

And in the fall, it’s your chance to make your home look warm, welcoming, and just a little bit magical. But the goal isn’t to turn your front steps into a pumpkin explosion ( we’ve all seen that house ). It’s about balance—cozy, not cluttered.
