One of the most interesting conversations we've had on the podcast lately started with a simple question:

What if your low interest rate is actually holding you back?

Before you come for me in the comments... I'm not saying a 3% mortgage isn't valuable. It absolutely is.

But I've met homeowners who have outgrown their house, their commute, their neighborhood, or even their city and they're staying put for one reason:

"I can't give up my interest rate."

Meanwhile, life keeps happening.

New jobs.
Growing families.
Divorce.
Retirement.
Fresh starts.

A mortgage rate is a financial tool. It shouldn't become a life sentence.

The goal was never to get the lowest rate possible and then never move again.

The goal was to build a life you love.

So I'm curious...

If your current home no longer fit your lifestyle, would you stay for the 3% rate or make the move anyway?

👇 Let's hear it.

🥁 Can I get a drumroll for my latest listing?! 🥁

Officially introducing my newest Gig Harbor listing in Wildwood Estates — and yes, this one got the full Zillow Showcase treatment 👏

I’ve decided Zillow Showcase is officially becoming part of my listing package because in today’s market, homes deserve more than just getting tossed online with dim photos and generic marketing. Showcase gives listings premium placement on Zillow, interactive floor plans, enhanced visuals, and even virtual staging options in multiple design styles so buyers can actually picture themselves living there instead of staring at an empty room wondering if their couch fits 🤣

And honestly? It makes the whole experience feel so much more elevated and fun.

This home itself is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down a little. The neighborhood is full of mature trees and friendly neighbors who still wave as you drive by (no seriously, two different people waved at me when I left there Monday 😂). The front porch feels made for morning coffee, and the backyard patio with the covered pergola and gas fireplace is basically begging to host summer nights with friends.

Also… because I’m officially done with boring real estate marketing, the listing photo captions may or may not have turned into my own little comedy routine at this point 💀

📍3804 75th Ave NW, Gig Harbor
3 Bed | 2.25 Bath
Offered at $650,000

Go check out the full listing, play with the Showcase features, and read the captions because honestly… I had way too much fun with this one 😅

Another one closed 🔑✨

My client was being camera shy… but I just got a new sign and needed an excuse to use it 😂

Also yes, my car desperately needs a wash.

Congrats to my client on their new Seattle investment property 👏.

Years ago, when I was brand new, an established agent made a remark about not offering treats at her open houses. Her mindset was, “I’m not here to feed you, I’m here to sell a house.” That stuck with me for a long time, so I didn’t do anything extra.

But eventually, I tried it and the response has been amazing. People love walking in and grabbing a fresh cup of coffee with good creamers, and it creates an easy conversation starter instead of the awkward “here’s a flyer…” moment.

Now I keep the coffee refreshed, put out treats, and share information about both the community and myself. It’s value and relationship-building all in one.

I’ve also added balloons 🎈 which honestly are such a pain, but they’re so cute. I even have custom ones along with my office balloons, and I love the look.

Now if only people would actually come into my open house today on this sunny, beautiful weekend… 😆

Just wanted to share something fun I’ve been working on in the Cascade neighborhood.

I’m helping organize a neighborhood-wide garage sale, and it’s shaping up to be a great community event with multiple homes participating!

If you happen to be in the area, I’d love for you to stop by and check it out!

We’ll be kicking things off at Cascade Park at 9:00 AM, and Legendary Doughnuts will be there starting at 8:30 AM with coffee and fresh donuts 🍩

It’s always fun to see neighbors come together like this.

If you’re local to Cascade and still want to join, today is the last day to sign up to be included on the map. I’ll drop the link in the comments 👇

A little late, but last month we had the best time at the Gala✨

I’m still so proud of my “Taste of Renton” basket, but more than anything, just incredibly grateful for the local businesses who showed up and donated to make it happen.

These businesses gave simply to support our community, and that means a lot:

Golden Peacock

Please show them some love when you can 🤍

And the decor was 🔥🔥🔥by . You must book them for your next event!!

Being part of the Chamber has been such a great way to stay connected and support local.

We also have some fun events coming up:

🍷 Renton Landing Wine Walk — April 18 (2–6 PM)
🏆 Best of Renton Awards — May 20 (5–8 PM)

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, let me know. I’d be happy to bring you along to one!
