currently reading… Pawverbs For A Dog Lovers Heart
This month’s read is Pawverbs for a Dog Lover’s Heart by Jennifer Marshall Bleakley!
This heartwarming devotional combines the unconditional love of dogs with uplifting stories, biblical wisdom, and meaningful life lessons.
Filled with sweet reminders of faith, love, and the special bond we share with our four-legged friends, it’s the perfect read for any dog lover! I got my copy at Hobby Lobby! (This would also make a great Christmas gift!)
ask a realtor ® q&A: Are Builders More Willing To Negotiate Toward The End of the Year?
Sometimes! Many builders have year-end sales goals, which can create opportunities for buyers. Depending on the community and available inventory, you may find incentives such as closing cost assistance, interest rate buydowns, or upgrades.
Having an experienced buyer’s agent on your side can help you navigate these incentives and negotiate the best possible terms!

Recent Stitches + Finishes
She’s back and stitching in FULL force, haha! Her latest finishes include an adorable snowman taking a cold plunge and a Santini (get it? Santa Martini! 🍸).
After 10 months of stitching, we are SO close to seeing her fully decorated needlepoint Christmas tree come to life! I can’t wait to share the finished product with you all!
Full Circle Real Estate Moment
This month’s Full Circle Real Estate Moment is extra special! I met this sweet friend over 25 YEARS ago when we worked together at UPS! That was long before I became a Realtor. We’ve stayed in touch throughout the years, and now I have the privilege of helping her and her husband sell their home.
I’m SO excited to share that their home is officially UNDER CONTRACT! Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. There’s nothing quite like helping a longtime friend through such an important milestone.
I couldn’t be happier for these two and can’t wait to get them to the closing table!
Wishing You and Your Family A Wonderful Start To The Holiday Season!
As we wrap up October, here’s a friendly reminder to set your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 1st! Enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
With the holiday season right around the corner, there are SO many wonderful local events, festive traditions, and opportunities to make special memories with family and friends. I hope you take some time to slow down, enjoy the little things, and soak up all the magic this time of year brings!
