Had so much fun attending the Winter Market Festival in downtown Edwardsville! ❄️✨ I truly felt like I was walking through a Hallmark movie.

And I have to mention — the pizza from my friend’s new food truck, Tasty Goat, was absolutely incredible! 🍕🔥

Huge shoutout to Edwardsville Parks & Rec for putting on such a fun event — you all did an amazing job! ❤️

JUST SOLD | 514 Gueltig Pl., Edwardsville, IL

Congratulations to my sweet client! I’m thrilled to celebrate the successful sale of her charming home just minutes from beautiful downtown Edwardsville. Helping Mary through this process was truly an honor, especially knowing how meaningful this move is for her.

Mary was an OG at Andria’s (now Moussalli's) since the day it opened, and it’s where our paths first crossed when I started working there back in high school. It’s been such a privilege to assist her in this new chapter of her journey.

She's headed to warm, sunny Florida; a dream she’s held since childhood. I couldn’t be more excited for her (and maybe a little jealous)! ☀️🌴

If you’re considering buying or selling in the Edwardsville area, I’d be grateful for the opportunity to guide you home.
