Hot Commodity…Baby Boomer Homes!

May 13, 2024

Thinking of downsizing? Chances are high someone is on the hunt for a home like yours!

Did you know Baby Boomers own 28% of large homes (despite being empty nesters) while Millennials with children own only 14% of those types of homes?

If you’re considering downsizing, this could be golden news for you. I would love to talk to you about your plans. In the meantime, here are some downsizing tips:

  • Utilize digital storage – scan and save your documents, photos, and other sentimental items to save physical space. Invest in external hard drives or cloud storage (like Google Drive or DropBox) to store digital files securely. And if you’re not sure how to do it yourself, services like LegacyBox or EverPresent can help.
  • Trade the oversized furniture for slim and multi-functional – Sofa beds, folding tables, and modular storage solutions will help you set up some multi-purpose room, like a den that doubles as a guest room
  • Toss the kitchen “fluff.” Do you really need a breakfast sandwich maker, a cake-pop maker, two Instant Pots, and a backup air fryer? Take a no-nonsense look at your gadgets and appliances, and only keep the ones you use most.

Remember, downsizing isn’t just about letting go of possessions; it’s about gaining freedom and peace of mind.

Whether you’re still thinking about it, just starting to downsize, or ready to roll, we can help! Check out the list of our amazing agents to help you in your next steps.

I learned this one the hard way: your mindset is a direct reflection of what you consume. 🧠✨ As a broker and a leader, I’ve realized that my “output” is only as good as my “input.” If I’m fueling my day with mindless scrolling or negative noise, my energy and focus are the first things to pay the price. A few years ago, I started “editing my inputs.” I traded the comparison trap for intentionality and started filling my feed, and my life, with ideas that actually lift me higher. It didn’t happen overnight, but the shift was huge. I felt lighter, more motivated, and more like me. At the end of the day, you can’t pour out what you don’t put in. Whether you’re leading a family, a business, or navigating a move, protect your peace. What you feed your mind today determines how you show up tomorrow. 🤍 I’d love to hear from you: What’s one book or account that always boosts your energy? Share it below so we can all add some good fuel to our feeds! 👇

When I first met Heather and Patrick over Zoom, they were planning a huge move all the way from Florida. I happened to be sporting a NY Yankees hat that day. Naturally, they asked if I was a fan. My honest answer? “Not really, it just goes with my outfit!” 😂 They recently surprised me with some “proper” Seattle attire, a Mariners hat! I couldn’t be more excited to officially join the home team. Plus, my husband Dustin is thrilled, he’s a massive Mariners fan and was more than happy to see me representing. Thank you, Heather and Patrick! I’m so glad I could be part of your journey to the PNW. 🏠⚓️

You can’t change the wind, but you can always adjust your sail. ⛵️✨ Jim Rohn said it best: the same wind blows on all of us. The difference between where you are and where you want to be is often just a recalibration of your direction. Stop fighting the gusts you can’t control and start focusing on your sail. That’s where your real power lives. Drop a “🙌” if you needed this reminder today.

They say January is for planning, but for me, it’s always been for reflecting. Looking back at 2025 from this side of the year, I’m struck by how much heart went into the last twelve months. Beyond the contracts and the closings, it’s the people who stay with me. To the clients who became friends, the family who cheered the loudest, and the West Linn community that continues to show up for one another. Thank you! You are the reason I do what I do. 💚 2026 is already off to a running start, but I wanted to take a second to honor the foundation we built last year. Onward! 🏠✨

Real estate can feel like a lonely business... but I promise you, it doesn’t have to be. ✨ When I look at this video, from our strategic mastermind sessions to giving back to the community we love, and yes, even kicking back at our beach retreat, I don’t just see “coworkers.” I see a tribe. I’ve always believed that who you surround yourself with dictates your growth. At our brokerage, we believe in high-level collaboration over cut-throat competition. We believe in celebrating the wins, supporting each other through the tough transactions, and actually enjoying the ride. If you’ve been feeling like you’re on an island in your business, consider this your invite to the mainland. 🏝️ Ready to love where you work? Send me a DM and let’s chat. No pressure, just conversation.
