Spooked by the Market? Let’s Debunk Those Scary Stories!

October 30, 2025

Buying or selling a home can feel spooky with all the myths out there. But let’s clear up some of those misconceptions so you can make confident decisions.

Myth 1: It’s a Bad Time to Buy/Sell in the Fall

Actually, fall is a great time! Serious buyers are still out there, and less competition means more opportunity.

Myth 2: You Need a 20% Down Payment

Nope! Many loan programs offer much lower down payments, and there are options for first-time buyers.

Myth 3: Wait for Interest Rates to Drop

Waiting for a lower rate could mean missing out on your dream home. You can always refinance later if rates drop.

Myth 4: Selling During the Holidays is a Nightmare

Not true! Buyers who shop during the holidays are often more serious, and your home can look extra inviting.

Don’t let these myths scare you away from your real estate goals! If you have questions or are ready to make a move, I’m here to help.

Happy Halloween!

I don’t wanna party like it’s 1999... but I sure wouldn’t mind those housing prices! 😉

Looking back at these throwback photos reminds me of just how much has changed since the turn of the millennium. But as a broker, I can tell you that today’s market has a lot going for it that 1999 didn’t:

75 days of breaking old habits, shattering comfort zones, and dialing in our businesses. 💥

I couldn`t be prouder to sit down for a celebratory breakfast with these phenomenal agents. This stretch pushed us all to prospect more efficiently and elevate how we show up for our clients every single day.

We definitely missed those who couldn`t make it to breakfast, but the energy of this entire team is unmatched right now.

If this is what 75 days of focused growth looks like, I can`t wait to see what the rest of the year brings. Let’s get it! 💪

10 years. One incredible journey. 💚

Looking back to when Mom and I first started RRG, it feels like a lifetime ago, and in many ways, it was! Back then, my house was loud and chaotic with four kids at home. Today, I’m navigating the “empty nester” life and soaking up every second with my two granddaughters. 💖

We definitely navigated our fair share of the “messy middle” that comes with building a business from the ground up, but I can finally say we’ve hit our stride. Mom is enjoying her well-deserved retirement, and I am standing here today so incredibly proud of the reputation and community RRG has built.

To the wonderful clients and colleagues who have become friends over the last decade: thank you for trusting me. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come, and I can’t wait to see what the next ten years have in store!

We are officially in a steady market! ⚖️

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, the West Linn and Lake Oswego areas are showing a beautiful balance. Right now, it’s all about the strategy.

For my sellers: The “Sweet Spot” is real. If we price it right, it moves. If we push too high, it sits. It’s that simple. 💥

For my buyers: Now is a great time to buy! Summer is going to bring even more inventory, so let’s get you ready to find exactly what you’re looking for as more options hit the market. ☀️

Thinking of making a move this summer? I’d love to help you find your sweet spot.
