Dear

Daenerys would like a word. 🐾

I left at 8am and came home at 6pm smelling like OTHER DOGS. Multiple. Small ones.

She spent 10 full minutes interrogating my pants. She has questions. Honestly, so do I, because I’d do it all again.

Thanks for the best stress relief at . Daenerys has filed a formal complaint.

Last day of eXpCon 2026 at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, and for once my conference commute is just I-15.

What a week. New connections, big ideas, and one more day of it.

In town for eXpCon? I’m local to Herriman, Riverton, Bluffdale and South Salt Lake County. If you’ve got a client heading to Utah, let’s connect before you fly home.

DM me “UTAH” and I’ll send my info. See you there!

Checked in to the Belong Summit, the warm-up before eXpcon kicks off here in Salt Lake City. 🙌

Tomorrow Gary Vee hits the stage and I’ll be in the room with my Meta glasses on. Want a front-row seat without the plane ticket?

Comment LIVE and I’ll take you with me. 👓

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a Pomeranian. 🐾

Meet Daenerys, Breaker of Leashes, Khaleezy of Herriman, and the actual head of this household. I’ve had Poms for about 20 years and not one of them has ever let me win an argument.

She’s my trail buddy when the weather’s nice, my taste-tester when I bring home takeout, and my co-host whether I ask her or not.

Best money I ever spent. Close second: tacos. 🌮

Should you wait for interest rates to drop to 3% before buying a house? No, and here’s the honest reason.

3% was never the baseline. It took a national emergency to get there, and nothing like that is on the table right now.

Around 7% is our new normal. Holding out for a fantasy rate just costs you time and equity while someone else buys the house.

If you’re buying in Herriman or South Salt Lake County, here’s the smarter play: know what you can afford monthly, get into the right-enough house now, and work with an agent who negotiates seller credits to buy your rate down for the first year or two. If rates ever drop, you refinance.

Comment RATE and I’ll send you the seller-credit buydown breakdown.

Thinking about selling in the south valley? Five quiet things cost sellers real money, and every one is avoidable. Here's my honest read. 👇🏽

Pricing to impress instead of to net. Skipping the cheap pre-list fixes. Not knowing your own equity before you list. And getting soft on the back-end negotiation, where a lot of money quietly gets given back.

I price to what you actually walk away with, not to a number that looks good on day one. And I run your real numbers before we ever list, so nothing surprises you at the closing table.

Want your real walk-away figure, no pressure? Link's in the comments. Tasha Rodriguez, south valley Realtor with eXp Realty.

Utah fall colors 2026: the highest peaks turn first (mid-September), then the color rolls down the canyons into the south valley by mid-October. 👇🏽
Here’s the real schedule, top to bottom:
🍂 9,000+ ft (Mirror Lake Hwy, Cedar Breaks) — peak mid-Sept
🍂 High canyons (Alpine Loop, Big & Little Cottonwood, American Fork) — late Sept to early Oct
🍂 Foothills & benches — early-to-mid Oct
🍂 Valley floor, Herriman to South Jordan — mid-to-late Oct
My real take for 2026: with the dry summer, go early rather than late — the high drives may peak fast and drop quick.
Save this so you catch peak week. And if these mountain views are the reason you want to be on the west side of the valley, that’s exactly the kind of move I help people make.

What real estate listing words actually mean, part 2: “cozy” means small, “needs TLC” means bring a contractor, and “priced to sell” usually means it has already been sitting.

Every listing description has a translation. Reading them is literally my job, so you do not tour three houses to learn what one word was hiding.

House hunting in Herriman, Riverton, Bluffdale, South Jordan or West Jordan? I will translate the listing before you spend a Saturday on it. Free read, link in the first comment.

Utah homeowners, quick PSA that could save you real money. 🏡 When your home is your primary residence, Utah lets you exempt a big chunk of its taxable value — we're talking nearly half. But here's the catch most people miss: when you move or buy, you have to make sure it's claimed. I see homeowners overpay every year just because nobody told them. Just moved? Comment "TAX" or DM me and I'll point you to exactly where to check. Keep it Real. 🖤

I talk to a lot of Herriman homeowners who say "I have been thinking about selling" and then... nothing happens.

So let me address the three things I hear most.

"Rates are too high." For who? Your buyer pool still includes people relocating from LA, Chicago, and Seattle where $600K buys a fraction of what it buys here. Rates are relative.

"I will wait for prices to go up more." Prices in Herriman are up 1.7% over the past year. They are not dropping. But waiting does not guarantee a better outcome, especially if inventory keeps building.

"I do not know where I would go." This is the real one. And it is exactly what I help people figure out. We can plan your move before you ever list.

If any of this sounds familiar, let's just talk. No pressure, no pitch. Just real information so you can make the right call for your situation.
