  • Housing affordability – 25%
  • Expecting mortgage rates to drop – 19%
  • Lack of inventory – 17%

  • Constant communication: We talk daily and meet weekly to match buyers with homes that aren’t even on the MLS yet, discuss upcoming properties, and brainstorm on topics related to our hyperlocal market. 

  • Creative strategy: Whether it’s pre-list marketing, off-market opportunities, or aggressive positioning, we adapt quickly.

  • Client education: We equip our buyers and sellers with real-time data and pricing insight so they can move forward with confidence.

  • Always available: We work around the clock—because the market doesn’t wait, and neither should you. Our staff works on the details behind the scenes, so we can focus on our clients.
