Thinking About Investing?

Let's Get Started!

Three months after earning my real estate license, Hurricane Michael devastated our area, creating both challenges and opportunities in the market. I quickly realized the potential in investment properties and began helping investors navigate buying, repairing, and reselling. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through every step of their investment journeys.


Whether you’re new to real estate or a seasoned investor, the resources below are designed to educate and inspire you. No matter where you are in life, investing in real estate is a powerful tool for building wealth and creating opportunities. Let’s make your investment goals a reality!

When Is the Best Time to Buy a Home? (Hint: It's Not What You Think)

July 08, 20251 min read

when to buy calendar

Let’s get one thing straight: The best time to buy a home isn’t about the calendar — it’s about your calendar.

Sure, there are seasonal trends:

  • Spring brings more listings (and more competition).

  • Summer is hot — in weather and bidding wars.

  • Fall offers hidden deals if you don’t mind less inventory.

  • Winter? Buyers get the upper hand (hello, motivated sellers).

But here’s the real deal: the best time to buy is when your budget, timeline, and motivation line up.


✅ Ask Yourself:

  • Do I have a steady income and pre-approval?

  • Am I planning to stay put for a while?

  • Can I comfortably afford the monthly payment?

  • Do I want to stop renting and start building equity?

If you’re checking these boxes, now might be your time — no matter what month it is.


💸 Bonus Tip: Timing the market rarely works

Trying to “wait for prices to drop” is like trying to catch a falling knife. You’ll end up either missing out or paying more in the long run thanks to rising interest rates.


👋 Real Talk:

Our team helps buyers every season — whether the flowers are blooming or pumpkins are out. We’ll guide you through the best options for your life, not just the market trends.
