Making my own bread 🍞
Building a chicken coop 🐥
And making my own laundry detergent 🫧
I was called a crunchy mom the other day and that was the greatest compliment! Yes, yes I am and I am thriving in it. My favorite friends have fur and feathers and I am content being surrounded by nature and my family.
If you want my laundry detergent recipe it’s SUPER easy:
1.5 c washing soda
1 c Borax
1/2 c Epsom salt
1 - 4 oz bar grated natural soap(I like Dr. Bonner’s Castile bar soap)


Your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a key number lenders check before approving your mortgage. Here’s how to calculate it in under a minute!
1️⃣ Add up your monthly debts—car loans, credit cards, student loans, etc.
2️⃣ Divide that total by your gross monthly income (before taxes).
3️⃣ Multiply by 100 to get your DTI percentage.
📊 Example:
💳 Monthly debts = $2,000
💵 Gross income = $6,000
2,000 ÷ 6,000 = 0.33 → DTI = 33%
Most lenders prefer a DTI below 43%, but keeping it 36% or lower can improve your approval chances and make homeownership more affordable!

The dream is gone before you can even click “contact listing agent.”
What happened?
The universe (and the market) waits for no one. Closing the gap between ‘just looking’ and ‘actively buying’ means partnering with an agent and getting that pre-approval letter in hand.
I don’t want you to miss out on your daydream.
If you’re thinking about exploring homeownership more seriously, schedule a no-strings-attached buyer consult at the link in my bio.

After all that fun, we had some of the BEST Texas-style BBQ at @mulecarsmokehouse in Downtown Ontario. We went all in with the “All da Smoke” platter, and it did not disappoint! The brisket was unbelievably tender and juicy, the tri-tip had incredible flavor, and the jalapeño cheese sausage was perfect. Jonathan even said the ribs were some of the best he’s ever had! We paired it all with mac and cheese, tater tots, coleslaw, and street corn—every bite was delicious.
We left with full bellies and happy hearts, and this spot is definitely going on our regular rotation. If you love good BBQ, you need to check them out!

Instead of going low on your offer...
✅ Offer full price with seller concessions to lower your rate
Then watch the savings add up...
Here’s an example:
🏠 List price = $550,000
❌ Instead of offering $535,000...
✅ Offer $550,000 with $15,000 in seller concessions
📉 That $15,000 = ~3 mortgage points, lowering your rate from 7.00% → ~6.25%
📉 Monthly payment drops from $3,657 → $3,471
💰 Savings = $2,232 per year and $66k+ over 30 years
Note – This calculation assumes 20% down payment. This strategy works best if you plan to stay in your home long term, since the interest savings stack over time.
DM me and I can run your numbers or head to Google and search “mortgage points calculator”

How it works
•Find a property and speak with an FHA-approved lender
•Choose the FHA 203(k) program
•Submit renovation plans, including bids and timelines
•The lender appraises the home and calculates the loan amount
•At closing, funds are disbursed to pay the seller and the remaining funds are placed in escrow
•As renovations are completed, funds are released from escrow
Benefits
•One loan for the purchase and renovation of a home
•Typically requires a lower down payment
•More flexible qualification criteria
•Helps support homeownership among lower-income households
Limitations
•Requires Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP)
•Must be an owner-occupied, primary residence
•Renovations must be completed within six months
•Involves more paperwork and oversight than a standard FHA loan
Want to learn more? Send me a DM. I am happy to connect you with the right lender that will discuss the ins and outs of this awesome loan and see if it’s the right fit for you!

Your house: anything but 🏡
Selling isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Sure, every transaction follows certain steps, but when I work with clients, the experience is anything but cookie-cutter. Every seller gets:
• A recent comparative market analysis📈
• Personalized home preparation and staging recommendations🛋️
• Tailored advice on pricing based on recent sales and market trends📈
• Professional listing photos & videos that highlight the unique features of their home📷
• A listing description that captures their home’s story🏡
If you want a little more context on the sales process, send me a DM or grab my selling guide.

The general rule for equity growth is a steady 4% growth every year, with your home doubling value every 17. However, there has been an 80% growth since 2008 with the majority of the growth happening since 2020. 🏡

Time flies when you're having fun. ❤️⚾💙


I know it can feel... uncomfortable: The anxiety, vulnerability, and maybe even the fear of judgment for what’s inside.
But it’s important to know this:
I’m not there to judge how clean, decluttered, or trendy the home is...(if only you could see my house chaos)
My focus is on creating a seamless sales experience where we show the home in the best light, negotiate favorable terms, and welcome new owners for a great price.

Not only did it bring back so many nostalgic childhood memories, but the revamped facility is absolutely incredible. There’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy, including:
• Virtual axe throwing
• Virtual darts
• Bumper cars
• Bowling
• Arcade games
• Laser tag
• Go-karts
• Miniature golf
…and so much more!
The place was bustling with people, which was great to see, but I’m definitely looking forward to visiting again when it’s a bit quieter so we can fully explore everything Bullwinkle’s has to offer!

I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you for trusting me with your home sales and purchases this year. A heartfelt thank you also goes out to my amazing clients and friends who referred their loved ones to me—it’s truly the greatest honor to help make your real estate dreams a reality.
This year wasn’t just about business, though! Jonathan and I had the absolute joy of watching Trevor thrive while playing baseball for the Dodgers Scout Team. His summer was filled with adventures as he traveled to Seattle, Florida, and Arizona with his team.
Another huge milestone for our family was Trevor starting his first year of HIGH SCHOOL at Rancho Cucamonga High School—where I also teach! This marks my 18th year as a teacher, and I love it just as much as when I first began. Having Trevor at the same school makes it even more special. From riding to school together to his quick visits during passing periods for a snack or a hello, and cheering him on at his baseball games, it truly feels like a dream come true. But oh, how quickly time is flying by!
2024 brought its share of challenges for our family, but I choose to focus on the lessons those challenges taught us:
Be kind to everyone—you never know what someone might be going through.
Cherish every moment—life is precious, unpredictable, and sometimes far too short.
You can never say “I love you” too much to the people who matter most.
As we close out 2024, I hope you can reflect on the good moments and the lessons learned from the tough ones. Most importantly, I wish you peace, happiness, and countless blessings in 2025. Here’s to another year of growth, connection, and joy!


Market Conditions
1) There’s low Inventory. Fewer homes on the market means more competition which drives up prices.
2) Recent comparable sales near you are high, indicating healthy appreciation.
3) Homes are selling quickly, with short “days on the market”
(Your agent can help with this info!)
Personal Circumstances
Many circumstances warrant a home sale. These are the ones I see most often:
* Job changes
* Growing family
* Desire for more space
* Desire for less upkeep
* Desire for a change of pace
If you’re considering selling, let’s chat and see if now is the right time for you. Send me a message.

5 TIPS FOR BUYING A LUXURY HOME
Have you and your family been saving up to buy your dream home? Maybe you want to use the equity from your current home to propel you into that dream home? What defines luxury? What kind of loan do you need? Where are the luxury homes at? Sooooo many good questions and I am here to answer them!
HOW TO SHOP FOR A HOME LOAN
One of the first steps in the homebuying process is gaining pre-approval for a mortgage loan. This gives you a realistic idea of the home...

We are lucky to have found Candice. She truly cared about guiding us through every aspect of the first time home buying process. She happily fulfilled every request we made of her, and beyond. She recommended a lender that made our escrow process beyond smooth and overall made our escrow experience a dream. We closed on our house a month ago and Candice reached out to me this week asking if there was anything she could do for me (knowing my toddler was sick). This speaks volumes about the kind of person she is, in general. To say Candice went, and continues to go, above and beyond for us is a gross understatement. We’ll be forever grateful for the experience of working with her and to her for helping us find our forever home.
