Genuine question: can your algorithm tell you which street floods after heavy rain? Which neighborhood is actually up and coming versus which one has been "up and coming" for twelve years?

Can it tell when a seller is bluffing?

AI is genuinely impressive. I use it. I'm not scared of it.

But there's a version of this job that's about data — and then there's the version that's about knowing that the house you almost didn't tour was the one you ended up crying happy tears in on closing day.

That second part? Still mine.
And if you want someone in your corner who brings both — DM me.

Someone sent me another "housing crash" article this week and asked if they should wait.
Here's what I told them.

Home prices rose in 71% of metro markets in Q1 2026. Monthly payments are down $140 from this time last year. First-time buyers are spending 4% less of their income on housing than twelve months ago.

That's not a crashing market. That's a market quietly improving while the headlines stay loud.
The people waiting for prices to collapse are still waiting. The people who bought last year are building equity.

Reach out. Let's look at what the numbers mean for your situation..

Most agents will tell you whatever it takes to get the listing signed.

I've walked away from listings because the price wasn't right. I've had the uncomfortable conversation about the photos. I've told sellers an offer wasn't good enough even when taking it would have been easier for everyone.

That's not me being difficult. That's me being on your side.
If you want an agent who tells you the truth from day one — your home deserves that. Reach out when you're ready.

New Listing!

Open House today, Saturday June 6th, 1-3PM

8163 W Beckton Ln, Boise, ID 83714 Listed at $395,000, MLS #98989187, 2 beds, 2 baths, 2-car garage, 1,264 square feet, built in 1995, .08, Welcome to Westminster Estates, an exclusive gated community in the heart of Garden City, one of the Treasure Valley's most exciting emerging destinations. This beautifully maintained single-leve...

Nobody prepares you for what buying your first home actually feels like.

The second-guessing. The moment a place surprises you. The drive home where you're already mentally moving in — but you don't want to say it out loud yet.

First-time buyers don't need more information. They need someone who recognizes where they are.

Swipe through — if you've said any of these, you're exactly where you're supposed to be.

And if you're ready to have someone in your corner who actually speaks this language — DM me any questions you have.

No pitch, no pressure.

I don't share market updates unless I think they actually matter.

This one matters.
Inventory is up 20% nationally. Monthly payments are projected to drop for the first time since 2020. A single rate drop could bring over 5 million new buyers into the market. And somehow — a brand new home is now cheaper than a resale.

The last two years were hard for a lot of buyers and sellers. The conditions just shifted.
Not perfectly. But meaningfully enough that waiting has a new cost attached to it.

If you want to know what this means for your specific situation — that's exactly what I'm here for. Reach out.

I'm going to ask you to do a few things before we list that might feel unnecessary.

They're not.

The photos, the candle, the price — every single one of those decisions is either working for you or against you before a buyer even walks through the door.
The sellers who trust the process don't just sell. They sell well.
Ready to do this the right way?

DMs are open.

At some point it stops being “one more update”
and starts being a house you’re trying to convince yourself to love.

I see it all the time —
new floors, new paint, one more project…
and it still doesn’t feel right.

That’s usually not a renovation problem.

If this has been on your mind, it might be time to look at a different option 🏡
