This week on Anna Around Town, I stopped by Southpark Carpet & Flooring while helping a client find the right flooring for their home. 🏡

There were so many options to look through, and after comparing colors, styles, and what would work best in the space, we ended up finding the perfect fit — on clearance, which made it even better. 🙌

And one of the best parts? Southpark Carpet & Flooring can install it for you, too.

Keep watching to the end to see how it turned out in the client’s home — I love when the right choice comes together this well.

Quick seller tip: Want your house to feel more inviting for showings?
You don’t need to completely redecorate.

Open the blinds. Turn on the lights, and make sure the bulbs are working and matching. Clear off the counters. Make the beds. Make sure the house is clean and smells clean — not like you’re trying to cover something up with six plug-ins. 😂

Remove cobwebs inside and out, especially around the entry. Wipe down doorknobs, doors, and door frames.

You want buyers to walk in and feel comfortable.

Clean, bright, and uncluttered wins almost every time.

It’s easy to walk into a house and immediately notice the pretty stuff.
Countertops. Paint colors. Fixtures. Finishes.

But after 22+ years in real estate, I’m also looking at the things that can matter a whole lot more long-term — layout, condition, location, systems, and the features that aren’t so easy to change.

The cosmetic stuff can be fun. The bones of the house matter too.

Some days, a Realtor’s office is her car! 🚗🏡

Between listings, showings, and previewing neighborhoods, there isn’t always time to sit down for lunch. But who says eating on the go has to mean fast food?

Introducing my latest creation: CARCUTERIE! 😂🧀

A little charcuterie for the car. Quick, easy, and full of things I love.
Anyone else have a favorite on-the-go lunch?

There’s a lot more to your Realtor® than contracts, showings, and closing tables. 😂

From serving in the Navy and graduating high school in Puerto Rico to spending more than 22 years in real estate, investing, building, and working through some very complicated transactions — I’ve definitely collected a few stories along the way.

Here are 7 things you may not have known about me.
Which one surprised you the most?

A little real estate vocabulary for your Tuesday. 👀

Functional obsolescence is basically when something about a home’s layout, design, or systems makes it less functional or less appealing to buyers — and that can affect value.

Examples include:
• A bedroom that can only be accessed through another bedroom
• An outdated electrical system, like a fuse box instead of a breaker panel

It’s a good reminder that not every “upgrade” adds value, and sometimes highly personalized changes can actually make a home harder to sell later.

That’s one of the reasons it helps to talk with a Realtor® before making major changes if resale is on your radar.

If your budget could get you either one, which are you choosing? 👀

A neighborhood where you can walk to things, or more land and privacy with a little more driving?

You live in your home every day, so it’s easy to stop noticing the little things.

Buyers are seeing it with fresh eyes.

They notice the lighting. The smell. The clutter. The small repairs you’ve been meaning to get to. Even the way the front of the house feels before they ever walk through the door.

That doesn’t mean your home has to be perfect before you sell — but it does mean the right preparation can make a big difference in how buyers experience it.

Before you start fixing everything, let’s talk about what actually matters most.
