Over a year ago, I helped some of my neighbors buy a piece of land, and today their forever home is sitting on it. Now, the home they’ve poured so much love into over the last 5 years gets to become home to someone new.

This one was such a reminder of the Lord’s perfect timing. We had another offer along the way, and at the time, we really wanted it to work out, but it just never felt right, and ultimately it didn’t come together. Looking back now, I can see there was a reason. God already knew who was supposed to call this house home, and when the right offer came along, it just felt different.

I’m SO excited for the sweetest buyer to move into our neighborhood, and even more excited for my clients to finally settle into the home they’ve been dreaming about, and to only have one house payment 😅

Sometimes the Lord closes the door and our impatience doesn’t understand why, but it really is just God working out the details in His perfect timing!

If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell, or if you’re needing a lender to purchase or refinance a home, I’d love to be considered!

So excited for my clients and this next chapter of their lives!

They sold their home (bottom) and bought a new one (top) that better fits the needs of this next season of life. There’s something so special about helping clients close one chapter and step into the next, and I’m so grateful they trusted me not only to represent them through both sides of the transaction, but also to handle the financing for their new home. Being trusted with such a big part of their lives means so much to me!

Selling your home and buying another at the same time can be tricky, there are a lot of moving pieces that have to line up just right. But you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I’ll help you navigate the process, make a plan that works for your situation, and help keep all those moving pieces moving in the right direction.

Congratulations to my sweet clients on BOTH closings!🥂Here’s to new memories, new beginnings, and a home that fits exactly where God is taking you!

🤍Proverbs 3:5-6🤍

He sees what you can’t see and He knows what you don’t know. Remember that He has a bird’s eye view, while yours is limited and He sees how His perfect plan will play out. Don’t fight Him by trying to control the situation or force the outcome.

And honestly, all of us have. Some of us have tried doing things our own way, learned the hard way, and realized that God’s way is better. And some of us are still trying to take the wheel and wondering why we keep ending up in the same mess.

When I relinquish control and let God lead, I’m always to amazed to see how beautifully He works things out. But somehow, I get amnesia the next time a situation arrises and I try to control things again. Luckily, the Lord is so gracious and gently reminds me that His plan is better than mine. Then, when I relinquish control to him, I have so much less anxiety and so much more peace.

Surrender it to Him. Trust His timing. Trust His plan. Trust that He is working it all out, even when you can’t see it yet.

Less of me trying to control it. More of me trusting Him with it.

🌟CLOSED🌟

Another special closing with Christ at the center of it all!

This one is extra special because I was able to make some amazing friends in the process. Friends who love Jesus and strive to live a life of obedience to Him.

We spent a little over a year searching for the perfect home, and looking back, it’s so clear that the Lord was working it all out in His perfect timing, in a way only He could.

I’m so thankful for my clients for trusting me with such a big decision and allowing me to walk alongside them through every step of this journey. There were plenty of twists and turns along the way, but God’s plan was better than anything we could have planned ourselves.

Congratulations on your beautiful new home! I pray that Christ is always at the center of it and that it’s filled with so much love, laughter, peace, and some of your very best memories for years to come. ❤️

So grateful I get to call this my job, and even more grateful for the people the Lord brings into my life through it!

If you’re wanting to buy a home or just have questions of where to even begin, I would love to chat!

🌟CLOSED🌟

Gosh, what a special closing this was! I had some new friends from our new church approach me to purchase a home. They weren’t sure if it was possible, but the Lord worked everything out so perfectly and we were able to close in just over a month from our initial conversation! And what’s even more amazing, is that we decided to look at a home they LOVED that was out of budget, but we ended up get it for UNDER budget and under market value with all closing costs paid AND a good rate! God was allllll over this one making it happen and making it apparent that He was the one in charge of this whole transaction and we just trusted that He would bring it all together perfectly, and that’s exactly what He did!

It has been such a blessing being able to serve them as both their REALTOR® and Loan Officer and an even bigger blessing to get to know them better during this time.

Congratulations y’all, so proud excited for your new adventure!
