CURIOUS WHY WE DO THIS?

I started organizing local events for a few reasons. Mainly, I hear so many people say that there’s nothing to do in southeast Idaho. As you can see, that is simply not the case, but tracking down all of the fun can be labor intensive. I do all the digging, so all you have to do is show up! Secondly, as a Realtor I help many families new to the area get acquainted with our wonderful hometown, and this local event guide was my gift to them!

If you’re just a regular local like me, drop a hello in the comments, or if perhaps you’ve been wanting to know if the grass might be greener somewhere else, click here for a fast (free) home valuation to see what your home might sell for! I’d love to help you “make it home”!

Give the spankin’ new homeowners in your life a Give the spankin’ new homeowners in your life a housewarming gift they’ll use from day one!  Here are my top 10 to get the ideas flowing:
.
▪️Gift cards to home improvement stores (things like rakes, garbage cans and light bulbs are usually in short supply for a first time home buyer especially!)
▪️Gift cards to local takeout and pizza places (with a stack of paper plates to go with it!) I’m looking at you @lucysnypizza 
▪️A personalized welcome mat (have you seen @letterfolk mats? They’re a fave!)
▪️Customized stationary, address labels, wall plaques, etc. (@etsy has you covered here!)
▪️A pizza baking stone and a @papamurphys gift card (check out @bedbathandbeyond for a great stone)
▪️A WiFi password display sign
▪️A photog session for them to pose in front of their new front door (DM @meganowensphotography, she’s amazing 🙌🏻)
▪️Local goodies for out-of-staters (I love @farrsicecream spud bars or huckleberry candy, or @reeds_dairy cheese curds and ice cream!)
▪️Hand wash and lotion set (perfect for the rona + house guest + flu combo season we’re in)
▪️A “new home” holiday ornament (I got the cutest one from @magnolia)
.
New homeowners, we celebrate you-enjoy your first Christmas in your new home!

This guy-he hasn’t sold any houses that I know of, but man, his dedication to his work is simply unmatched! (As long as his work includes sleeping 21 hours a day!)

I can’t help but smile everytime I pass my little pantry. Small spaces are often overlooked, but @urbanwalls was the perfect solution to this easy DIY #transformation, and I’m 100% convinced anyone with a pair of scissors and a stool could knock a project like this outta the park!
.
If you find yourself in the .0003% of people that don’t own scissors-I’ll hook you up! 😉
.
Even better-if you go to start your project this weekend and realize you just need a bigger pantry-I can definitely help you there as well! 🏡
😍Feeling sentimental and reflective? Me, too!⁣
⁣.
I look back and before I castigate the year as a total loss, I actually find myself finding so many reasons to be infinitely grateful.
.
I have learned so much, and for the first time in a long time-actually took some time to just...pause. It felt like letting out a long overdue exhale.
.
This somehow allowed important things to rise to the surface. Really important things!
.
Before diving headfirst into 2021, I hope you’ll join me in taking time to reflect on 2020—we’ll never have another one like it! What did you love? What was hard? What did you accomplish? What will be better about 2021 for you and yours?!
There’s a humbug-of-a-myth out there that you ha There’s a humbug-of-a-myth out there that you have to wait until spring to sell; that no one is looking to buy in December or January. Nothing could be further from the truth—buyers are out there 24/7/365!⁣⁣⁣

Here are 5 very merry reasons to sell your home this winter:⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
1. You’ll face less competition.⁣⁣⁣
2. You’ll get more attention from buyers’ agents⁣⁣⁣
3. Buyers are more serious.⁣⁣⁣
4. Your home already looks its best.⁣⁣⁣
5. You’ll enjoy a quicker sales process.⁣⁣⁣

Internet searches for “buying a home” peak in the winter months so if you’re thinking of selling, don’t wait. Need an experienced realtor who knows our area to help? Send me a message and let’s chat.

This week is full of spooky haunted events and attractions, and if you haven't tracked down a costume yet-this is the last weekend to find one before Halloween. If you just find yourself out and about, you MUST find your way over to White Sparrow Country store in Rexburg. It's the sweetest little spot full of southern fried pies, ice cream, penny candy and home décor! Have a great week East Idaho-and make sure to STAY (safe) + WANDER!
