I thought I would address another question I have received often or seen my clients make this mistake before talking to me. Many parents believe that adding their children to the title of their home is a simple way to avoid probate, make things easier for their family, and ensure the home passes smoothly to…

When it comes to tapping into your home equity, two popular options often come up: a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit (Reverse LOC). While both allow homeowners to access cash from their home’s value, they work very differently—especially when it comes to repayment, qualifications, and long-term flexibility.…

The March 2026 Salt Lake Realtor Magazine report on Utah’s housing market highlights a milestone moment: of the 39,791 homes sold in 2025, 3,992 exceeded $1 million—roughly one in ten transactions. That figure represents a 700% increase over the past decade, a dramatic signal of how much the market has evolved. Yet even with that growth, 65%…

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a trend in my conversations with clients and real estate investors. I’ve received more calls, texts, and emails asking about one specific type of financing than I have in quite a while — DSCR loans. Whenever I start hearing the same question repeatedly, I know it’s probably time to…

As many of you know, in addition to working directly with buyers and sellers, I stay closely connected to the broader real estate market. Recently, I had the opportunity to review the annual 2026 housing forecast, which included insights from both state-level and federal presenters. The data confirms what many of us are already feeling…

Over the past few months, I’ve had several clients ask me about “title theft” and whether they should be paying for a service to protect their home title. It’s a good question — and one that’s worth clearing up. Your home title works a little differently than something like your car title. With a car, you either have…

Over the past few weeks, I have been diving into various economic and housing forecasts for both the United States as a whole and Utah specifically. One thing remains clear to me: homeownership is incredibly important, and while there may be better times than others to buy, those moments are usually only obvious in hindsight.…

When I look at the headlines these days—whether it’s about the housing crisis, predictions for 2025, or how people are holding onto their homes longer than ever—I’m reminded of my own journey into real estate. I still remember the nerves I felt when I purchased my first home. It seemed like I was paying an…

As we step into the season of gratitude and celebration, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to each of you. Whether you’ve trusted me with your business, offered your friendship, or shared a kind word, you’ve made my career truly special. Thanksgiving reminds us to pause and reflect on our…

I’ve had a lot of clients ask me lately why mortgage rates are going up when the Federal Reserve, or “the Fed,” is lowering its rates. It’s a good question because, in the past, when the Fed cut rates, mortgage rates usually went down too. But this time, mortgage rates are moving in the opposite…
