Some moments in real estate remind you why gratitude should always sit in the driver’s seat. Today marks the official closing of this beautiful North Hill home — a home that now belongs to an incredible set of buyers whose trust, patience, and optimism turned a vision into a set of keys.

Buying a home is never just about property lines or square footage; it’s about perseverance, partnership, and the quiet confidence that the right people, working together, can make something lasting happen.

To my wonderful buyers — thank you for your faith and teamwork every step of the way. To the listing agent, seller and my amazing partners — your professionalism and collaboration made this process not just smooth but human, and I’m grateful for that.

Every closing is a story. This one, tucked just north of downtown Spokane, was a reminder that success in this business isn’t just measured in transactions, but in trust.

Here’s to new beginnings, open doors, and the communities we build — one home at a time. If you’re looking to take a step forward in your real estate journey, I’d love to walk with you! Let me know how I can help!

I’m thrilled to announce that this beautiful Emerson-Garfield home is officially under contract!

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my wonderful buyer clients for trusting me to guide you through this journey. You leaned into every decision, and your faith in the process made this happen. To the seller: thank you for your cooperation, patience, and willingness to work through details. You’ve made this a smooth and positive path forward.

This home, with its craftsman roots (built in 1909 and remodeled in 2015), nestled on a corner lot with striking brick and wood design, black iron fencing, an expanded back deck, and even grape vines in the yard, is a gem in Spokane’s Emerson–Garfield neighborhood. 

What I love about this part of Spokane is how historical charm meets modern life. Walkable streets, evolving neighborhoods, hidden character everywhere you look — it’s the kind of place you want to come home to.

We’re not done yet — there’s more to come as we move toward closing. If you’ve been watching the market or dreaming of your own move, now’s the time to reach out — let’s get you started.

Thank you again—to both sides of this transaction—and to all of you following along. This is just the beginning.

Summer is all fun and sunshine… until your A/C starts gasping like it just ran a marathon in flip-flops. As your friendly neighborhood REALTOR® (and unofficial home whisperer), I’m sharing my Top 10 Cool + Safe Summer Home Tips — with a twist of personality, of course!

📋

Reverse That Fan, Baby! Your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise in summer. It’s not just for style points—it actually pushes cool air down where you need it.

𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀. (Okay, not literally.) Use blackout curtains to block sun like a pro. Bonus: dark curtains = dramatic flair.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔/𝗖 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗶𝗹—regularly, even if you "don’t feel like it.” Dirty filters = your A/C working overtime and you footing the bill.

𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲. Use that grill outside to keep your oven from turning your kitchen into a sauna. Plus, burgers. Enough said.

𝗗𝗜𝗬 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸. Put a bowl of ice in front of a fan and enjoy DIY "cool mist" for pennies. It’s the closest thing to cheating the heat gods.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Hot air rises… and it loves to hang out in poorly insulated attics. Give yours a quick check—it’s like sunscreen for your house.

𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳!). Your leafy roommates feel the heat too. Early morning waterings help them (and you) stay perky.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁. Let tech do the thinking. Set it to chill while you’re away, then cool down just before you return. Efficiency = $$$ saved.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 & 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀.Tiny gaps = big temperature leaks. Weather stripping is your unsung hero this season.

𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁: Beat the Heat Checklist. Know where your water shut-off, fire extinguisher, and emergency kit are—because summer storms and heatwaves don’t RSVP.

𝙋𝙧𝙤 𝙩𝙞𝙥: Homes that stay cool, safe, and well-maintained also tend to sell better and faster down the road. Just sayin’.

𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘶𝘯? 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦—𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥.

SPOKANE, wash. -- As temperatures continue to rise into the 90s, you and your family can beat the heat at a number of different places around Spokane.
