There’s always one thing early in the design pro

There’s always one thing early in the design process that I become fixated on, & it becomes a non-negotiable part of the design.

With this house, it’s the wood floors.

I didn’t want pristine.
I didn’t want dark.
I didn’t want skinny planks.

I wanted weathered.
I wanted wood.
I wanted something that didn’t show dirt.

And when my eyes saw @dnmflooring Sea Salt, it became my non-negotiable. Everything else has worked around these floors- the counters, the paint, the stone. I can’t wait to see them installed- hopefully soon!

What’s a buyer’s agent supposed to look like in an intense seller’s market?

Well, there is no one size fits all. Agents vary greatly in their business hours, their engagement, their strategies & their styles.

But in the current market where buyers are selling their souls to get into a house, a GOOD buyer’s agent looks like:

•Works FULL TIME. Yes, there are part time agents. Yes, you NEED a full time agent
•They balance keeping you protected with keeping you in the arena to compete
•They have strong gut instincts & they tell you what those are
•They know what offers are being laughed at & which ones are being accepted
•They push you more than you probably want
•They have the heart of a teacher. They teach you about the process, the negotiation, the contract, & all the things.
•They’re accessible. Yes, we have lives but in this market accessibility is the name of the game.
•They don’t hand you off to someone else for showings. They’re by your side through every major & minor step.
•They share their knowledge regarding neighborhoods, POAs, taxes, etc.
•They have a pocket full of strategies that are NOT one-size-fits-all for every house

Buyer’s agents are working their butts off right now. They’re working longer hours, showing more houses, & losing more bidding wars than before. If you have a good one, appreciate them. If you don’t, it’s high time you get one!

Let me tell you something, in all my years in real estate I’ve seen a lot of crazy shit.

Sometimes it’s even literal shit.

But sometimes it’s agents that just don’t have their shit together.

And I recently sat down with the real estate QUEEN @leighthomasbrown to discuss all the Crazy Shit In Real Estate- both literally & figuratively.

But I also talk about why this crazy real estate market will eat your lunch if you don’t have a (full time) Realtor working on your behalf.

New construction doesn’t have to lack character, & one of the easiest ways to add it: architectural salvage.

I’ve been looking for unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that I can incorporate in the new build that add a story.

I was stoked to score this piece for $15! Isn’t it just dreamy?!

Champagne taste but always on a beer budget...

I found the most glorious, amazing marble basket weave tile for the bathroom. The only problem? It would eat up my entire tile budget for the whole house.

So here I am evaluating my beer budget alternatives...& I need your help!

SWIPE to see the current choices in the running & tell me which one you would pick in the comments below!

...& who knows, maybe I can still find a beer budget marble basket weave.

Delays + Over budget= the name of the game.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard, “It’s on back order” or “The bid came in higher” this house might be paid for by now. 🤦‍♀️ The current issue: the cabinet bid came in $5,500 over bid which necessitates a long design meeting to scale back, cut & brainstorm.
