You’re scrolling through listings and one jumps out: a home priced well below the others in the neighborhood. The description says “sold as-is.” Intrigued? You’re not alone. These listings attract attention fast—but before you start dreaming of savings and renovation potential, there’s a lot to consider.

"As-is" doesn’t always mean disaster—but it doesn’t always mean deal, either.

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to find quality rental options that aren’t either a giant apartment complex or a single-family home with a hefty price tag, you’re not alone. For years, Dallas has made it nearly impossible to build “missing middle” housing—those duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes that offer flexible, affordable living options in walkable neighborhoods. But change is finally here.

I hope these warmer Spring days are treating you well! I know I'm enjoying these moderate temperatures, and the rain included. If you are like me, and I know you are, you've considered the myriad of options with your home(s) over the years, thinking through every possible solution to your short and long-term needs. You've considered whether to stay or to go. There comes a moment in every homeowner’s journey when a critical decision arises: Do I rent out my home or do I sell it?

Have you been hitting pause on your home buying plans, hoping that mortgage rates will dip back into those dreamy 5% ranges? You’re definitely not alone. But here’s the thing—what if those days are gone for good?

Right now, many hopeful buyers are stuck in decision-paralysis, watching the market and waiting for conditions to change. But what if the real opportunity is already here, hiding in plain sight?

Buying a home is exciting, especially when you finally find the one. But amidst all the paperwork, showings, and emotions, there’s one short stretch of time that could make or break your investment. It’s called the option period, and if you don’t use it strategically, you might find yourself locked into a home with major issues, or worse, stuck footing the bill for repairs you didn’t see coming. I’ve guided countless clients through this critical part of the process, and in my latest video, I’m breaking down how the option period can work for you, not against you.

We’ve officially landed in the middle of spring real estate season, and I’m so thankful to wake up each day and work alongside incredible clients and friends in this journey. 🌼 But while the days are getting longer and warmer, the market? It’s a bit stormy underneath the surface. Every spring, it’s common to hear, “It’s the perfect time to buy!” But is that really true this year?

Have you ever found a home that almost checks all your boxes—but you hesitate because it needs too much work? Maybe the kitchen screams 1995, the floors are scratched up, or the layout doesn’t quite work for your lifestyle. Too many buyers pass on homes with potential because of outdated features or cosmetic flaws.

With talks of economic shifts, job cuts, and rising mortgage rates, many homeowners are left wondering—should I sell now, or wait? The housing market isn’t crashing, but it’s evolving. Understanding the psychology of today’s buyers is just as important as knowing the numbers. If you’re thinking of selling, your strategy needs to align with the new reality of the market.

Thinking about selling your home in 2025? Timing isn’t just important—it’s a game-changer. Listing your home at the right moment could mean selling faster and for thousands more. But when exactly is that perfect window? According to Realtor.com, mid-April has historically been the sweet spot. Homes listed during this time sell 18% faster and often command top dollar. But why?

Thinking about selling your home? A pre-sale renovation can be a game-changer—but only if you invest wisely. Too many sellers waste money on flashy upgrades while ignoring the issues that truly impact a home’s value. Before you make a costly mistake, let’s talk strategy. Many homeowners fall into the trap of overspending on renovations that don’t yield returns or, worse, covering up major issues that buyers will inevitably uncover.

Imagine this: You’ve decided to sell your home. You’ve set a competitive price, taken great listing photos, and waited for the offers to roll in. But instead of a bidding war, you’re met with silence. Days turn into weeks, and before you know it, your home has been sitting on the market far longer than expected. Buyers scroll past your listing. Showings are scarce. And when offers finally come in, they’re far below your asking price. What went wrong?

We're here in the throes of the Spring selling season. It's early March, and the temperatures are steadily rising. Think a great offer means your home is as good as sold? Not so fast! In 2025, sellers face new challenges that can make or break their success. From pricing pitfalls to marketing missteps, even the smallest miscalculation can mean the difference between a bidding war and a home that lingers on the market.

As we head into the Spring selling season, I'm taking this opportunity to talk about some of the setbacks that can happen. My goal is to equip you with as much information as possible ahead of going on the market if you are planning to sell this Spring.

The housing market is shifting, and a surprising trend is taking center stage: the rise of smaller homes.

Housing affordability has long been a hot-button issue in the U.S., and Donald Trump’s latest executive order aims to address it head-on.

For my Millennial and Gen Z friends (and everyone else too!), there’s a lot of chatter these days about how “owning nothing” leads to happiness. Surprisingly, some of the loudest voices championing this idea are plutocrats who already own and control vast assets. But let’s be real: owning your own home remains one of the most powerful ways to build wealth and secure your future.

Let’s delve into the fascinating world of real estate wholesaling, a strategy that involves assigning purchase contracts to interested buyers rather than directly owning properties. It’s also crucial for homeowners and property sellers to be vigilant. If prospective wholesale buyers approach you, pay attention to their credibility, experience, and transparency. Understanding the process ensures you’re making informed decisions that align with your goals and interests.
