California homeowners, a quick property tax reminder.

Property tax bills are arriving. If you have an impound account, your mortgage servicer may pay your regular property tax bill. Supplemental bills, however, may need to be paid separately.

📅 First installment due: November 1
📅 Delinquent after: December 10

It’s always a good idea to verify your bill and payment status directly with your county tax collector.

Have questions about homeownership or real estate? I’m always happy to be a resource.

Some days you’re crushing it.
Some days you’re questioning everything.
And some days you take 3 steps forward and somehow end up 2 steps back. 😂

That’s life.

One thing I’ve learned is that progress almost never looks like a straight line. There are good days, bad days, mistakes, lessons, wins, doubts, and plenty of moments where you’re thinking… what the hell am I even doing? 😂

But you keep going.

You learn. You adjust. You try again.

And please don’t compare where you are to what you see someone else posting online. We all have stuff going on behind the scenes.

Swipe through these 👉 Some made me laugh, some made me think, and a few were a good reminder I needed myself.

Maybe one of them will be the reminder you need today too. ❤️

Keep going. Keep believing. And most importantly, enjoy the ride.

Because no matter what today brings…

☀️ It’s a great day to have a great day. ❤️

Life isn’t about becoming perfect… it’s about becoming more YOU.

A little Latvian dreamer with big goals, a grateful heart, a loving husband by my side, and a mindset that keeps choosing growth over fear. Between real estate, long days, delicious tea, creativity, family, Willie cuddles, and chasing purpose, I’m learning that success feels different when you build a life that actually feels good to live.

Still evolving.
Still creating.
Still believing.

And no matter what life throws my way…
It’s a great day to have a great day. ☀️🤍

Have you ever looked up the meaning of your name… and felt like it actually fits who you are?

Inguss is a rare name, but to me it means something even deeper — strength, intuition, resilience, and quiet power.

That’s why this Ace of Spades card felt so aligned.
Not ego. Not pride. Just truth, growth, and the energy I want to carry through life.

To stand in my truth.
To trust my path.
To protect my peace.
To keep evolving without losing who I am.

Inguss.
Rare in sound.
Grounded in spirit.
Powerful in meaning. ♠️

Do you think names carry energy?
Have you ever looked into yours?
And did it actually feel like you?

Today was truly special. I’m incredibly honored to be named Realtor of the Year for CCRIM – Contra Costa Realtors in Motion. I absolutely love what I do… helping people find better homes, better sleep, and better lives.

Huge congratulations to Andrew Waite (), awarded Affiliate of the Year—his flooring work is next-level. And to my mentor Lynda Dimond () our newest Hall of Fame inductee… thank you for your guidance, wisdom, and heart.

This morning’s 4th Annual Channel the Flannel celebration reminded me how powerful community is. I’ve been grateful to serve as Tour Director on the 2025 board, and I’m excited to step into 2026 as VP of CCRIM.

Looking forward to growing, supporting our industry, and helping even more people in the year ahead. Feeling thankful, inspired, and ready for what’s next. ❤️🏡✨

More homeowners are missing the mark on pricing in today’s shifting market. And if you make that same mistake, you may wind up facing some difficult choices.

You could drop the price. But now, buyers will wonder what’s wrong with it.

You could take it off the market – and put your move on hold.

Or, you could keep it and rent it out. It sounds simple, until you’re a landlord juggling repairs, leases, and late-night maintenance calls.

None of these things are what you were hoping for. But they happen when you chase last year’s price in this year’s market.
