As the air turns crisp and school routines settle in, September is a wonderful time to pause and reflect on the joys of home. This month, I’ve been thinking about all the families getting into the groove of back-to-school life. If you're helping the kids reorient with schedules and study spaces, I’d love to share ideas on carving out a homework nook that keeps things productive and peaceful, but still feels like your home. Let’s chat about how small changes, like adding a cozy lamp or shelving for supplies, can make a big difference in daily life.

September always feels like a reset button. Summer slows down, kids are back in school, and routines start to settle in again. For me, it’s a reminder that home is where so much of our daily rhythm happens. Whether it’s packing lunches at the kitchen counter, catching up around the dinner table, or watching football in the living room, this season has a way of pulling us back into the heart of our homes.

Let’s talk about something: backyards. There’s just something about summer that makes us crave outdoor living. From backyard BBQs to quiet mornings with coffee on the deck, this season is all about soaking in the sunshine and making memories outside.
As a Realtor, I’ve seen firsthand how outdoor space can make or break a sale, especially in the summer. Buyers don’t just want a house... they want a lifestyle. And in these warmer months, that lifestyle often includes a great patio, a spot for a fire pit, or even just a shady tree and a comfy chair.

I don't know about you, but summer always feels like a season of possibility. The days are longer, the energy is lighter, and for many of us, it’s a time to finally tackle the “maybe someday” goals, like buying a new home, selling the one you’ve outgrown, or simply dreaming about what’s next.
As a Realtor, I absolutely love helping clients during the summer months. It’s such a sweet spot in the market. Whether you’re buying or selling, there are unique opportunities this time of year, and a few challenges to watch for, too. So let’s talk about it!

Summer is a season when real estate feels like it’s on fast-forward, but even with all the energy, there are a few pitfalls I see over and over. One big one for sellers is assuming that summer buyers will overlook flaws. The truth? They often have more time to compare homes, and they notice things. I always advise clients to handle deferred maintenance before listing… things like leaky faucets, broken screens, or scuffed walls. Small repairs build trust, and avoiding them can lead to lower offers or deals falling apart after inspection.
