It’s the time of year when millions of people are asking the same big question: “When should I take my turkey out of the freezer?”
If you take it out too early, you risk spoiling it… or at least taking up much needed space in the fridge for days. Wait too long, and you’re left scrambling (and possibly serving takeout) on Thanksgiving Day.
It reminds me of how so many of my clients have mentioned that they’re never quite sure when to reach out to me about buying or selling a house…
Many people have told me that they didn’t want to bother me, and felt like they should wait until they were “truly ready” to buy or sell a house!
The truth is, it’s never too early to involve me. Unlike a turkey, I won’t spoil, and getting me involved early can actually make the process smoother.
So if you’re planning to buy or sell soon—or better yet, just thinking about it—let’s chat!
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. Need to know when to take your turkey out? Here’s a quick guide to avoid a Thanksgiving disaster:

Thinking about selling your home? Whether you’re in the Puget Sound area or beyond, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to selling in today’s market. I’ve helped countless sellers achieve great results, and I’m here to walk you through the essential steps to sell your home with confidence. 👇
Step 1: Hire the Right Real Estate Agent 👩💼💼
The first and most important step in selling your home is hiring a real estate agent who can guide you through the entire process. A great agent is your partner in this journey—someone who understands the market, has the right connections, and can provide expert advice on everything from pricing to staging. Choosing the right agent makes all the difference. As a top listing agent in the Puget Sound region, I’ve helped clients just like you navigate the selling process with ease. When interviewing agents, be sure to ask:
How many clients have you helped recently? What sets you apart from other agents in the area? What services do you offer beyond negotiations?
Step 2: Hire a Home Inspector 🔍🛠️
You might be thinking, “Aren’t home inspections for buyers?” Technically, yes—but getting a pre-listing home inspection can save you time, money, and stress down the road. A professional inspector will help you spot issues that could scare off potential buyers.
Step 3: Make Repairs and Small Upgrades 🔧✨
You don’t have to completely renovate your home, but a few strategic updates can make a world of difference. Here’s where to focus:
Fix what’s noticeable
Modernize: Create flexible spaces like a home office.
Curb appeal matters
Brighten up with fresh lighting
Step 5: Price Your Home Right 💵💡
Pricing your home can be tricky. Price too high, and you risk scaring off buyers. Price too low, and you leave money on the table. Even when you are priced correctly there can be challenges that your agent will help you work through according to your current market and feedback we receive from potential buyers. I’ll help you understand your home’s value through a detailed market analysis.
Step 6: Stage Your Home to Sell 🛋️✨
Staging isn’t just about making your home look good—it’s about helping buyers imagine themselves living there. If you’re unsure where to start, I can connect you with professional stagers or offer my own recommendations.
Step 7: Get Professional Photos 📸🌟
In today’s digital world, great photos are essential. Homes with professional photos typically sell faster and for more money.
Step 8: List Your Home 📲🏡
Once your home is ready, I’ll list it on the MLS and make sure it’s visible on all the right platforms. But it’s not just about online listings—I’ll help market your home through social media, email campaigns, and more to ensure it gets the exposure it deserves.
Step 9: Have a Plan in Case Your Home Doesn’t Sell Right Away ⏳📉
Not every home sells overnight, and that’s okay. If things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d like, we’ll adjust the strategy. Whether it’s adjusting the price, hosting more open houses, or taking a different approach, I’m committed to making sure we get the best result for you.
Step 10: Negotiate the Sale Price 🤝💬
Negotiation is one of my favorite parts of the process. My goal is always to get you the best possible price, and I’ll guide you through every step of the negotiation process.
Step 11: Sign and Close ✍️🏠
Once you’ve agreed on an offer, it’s time to sign and close. We’ll review all the details—inspection reports, appraisals, closing costs—and ensure everything is in order before the big day. Then, when you sign those final papers, you can officially say goodbye to your old home and move on to the next chapter.
Selling your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and with my expertise, it can be an exciting and rewarding process. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out. I’d love to help you make your next move a success! 🏡💫

Here’s the scoop for September: Mortgage rates have been on a delightful downward trend this summer. While the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at their mid-summer meeting, they’ve hinted that a rate cut could be on the horizon this month. 📉 If they decide to cut rates, it could mean even more favorable mortgage rates as we roll into fall.
