Taking a moment to celebrate a great sale. My clients came to me after the unfortunate passing of their mother. With careful strategy and tactical repairs we were able to far exceed their expectations, receiving 14 offers and a beautiful sold price. The money is going to the decedents children for whom this is a life altering outcome.

With special thanks to Shannon Prokup and Eve Levine who stepped in to help when I had to be traveling during the listing period. Also shout out to the Red Oak Realty marketing team and admin, Jvm Sales lending, Buyer's Agent Orr Harrari, and all the vendors who contribute to prep!

Sadly, you have to buy the house before you can enjoy the hot tub or sauna. But the neighbors across the street are exceptional!

For those unclear on why the president is doubling down on tariffs. It isn't complicated.
They give him what he wants, which is to have the whole world coming to him and asking him for something.
Because that is the narcissist's dream. The whole world responding to his power.
And like all narcissistic personality behaviors, it is purely short term. When the rush of it wears off for him, and counter punches start landing he will want a bigger dream. He will chase the feeling for the rest of his life, and because it didn't last, he will assume he has to go bigger.
Which means the next demand has to be bigger. This path leads our country to only 2 places: removing him from office or having a full on war.
