So, let\u2019s put a fun spin on it! I give you: The 12 Days of Real Estate Reflections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12-&nbsp;<strong>Amazing teammates<\/strong>! Some of the most intelligent, helpful people on the planet are the ones I get to work with every day. I\u2019m so thankful for this group of people who are committed to our clients and to one another. We\u2019re a work hard, play hard group of people who are wholly committed to our families, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11- Months of&nbsp;<strong>delivering meals<\/strong>&nbsp;to homebound Tippecanoe County residents for Food Finders Food Bank! Every other week I see the same 7 to 8 people when I deliver a box of food to their front door. I\u2019m so thankful for a community with these types of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10-&nbsp;<strong>Client events<\/strong>&nbsp;to see your faces and hear what\u2019s happening in YOUR lives! Thank you for joining us for @ Loves Local, Earth Day, Purdue football tailgates, BrOktoberfest, Fall Fest at the West Lafayette Wellness Center, the Holiday Cabaret at Civic Theatre, and the endless Love Your Neighbor Basket pickups and dropoffs\u2014just to name a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9-&nbsp;<strong>Open houses<\/strong>&nbsp;at amazing homes! Okay, anyone in the industry that reads this might think, WHAT? Only 9? Well, open houses aren\u2019t actually my jam. We have amazing agents (see #12 above) who are much better at hosting these events than I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8- The&nbsp;<strong>average<\/strong>&nbsp;number of homes a Realtor sells per year. By God\u2019s grace, I was able to close 63 units in 2024. Every single client entrusts me and my team to get them to the closing table, and I don\u2019t take that lightly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7- The number of&nbsp;<strong>first-time buyers<\/strong>&nbsp;I was able to help make the purchase of their first home. I absolutely love helping people understand the process of buying a home. Sitting with them at the closing table when they\u2019re handed the keys is still exhilarating, even after 20 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6- Buyers who asked me to help them through their&nbsp;<strong>new construction<\/strong>&nbsp;project and closed on beautiful, brand-new homes, and\/or the land they will be built upon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5-&nbsp;<strong>Conferences and training events<\/strong>&nbsp;to help me grow in my skills and train other Realtors in growing theirs! I spent a decent amount of time in airports and hotel conference rooms this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4-&nbsp;<strong>Family members<\/strong>&nbsp;who deal with a wacky schedule, calls during road trips, and a wife and mom who simply does not have it all together. These four people are my big WHY and the only legacy on this earth that matters to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3- Homes that were sold to our buyers&nbsp;<strong>before being listed<\/strong>&nbsp;on the multiple listing service. That\u2019s right, the sellers called us, and we had the perfect buyer! We got to play our favorite role: Ninja Matchmaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2-&nbsp;<strong>$1M+ sales<\/strong>. OK, this is a little boastful, but when the average sales price in your county is $324,868 (*according to IRMLS 12\/13\/24), then this is a big deal. To have the trust of buyers and sellers making this sort of financial decision is actually very humbling. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1-&nbsp;<strong><u>Insanely grateful, slightly exhausted, and incredibly hopeful Realtor<\/u><\/strong>. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your confidence and trust with your real estate needs. Mostly, I\u2019m grateful for your friendships and hugs along the way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, what a year.&nbsp;And&nbsp;we love a good recap.
