I worked in historic Redlands, California on HGTV’s Restored with Brett Waterman and I learned about the lost art of skilled trades we RARELY see installed in homes anymore. Here’s what I miss most ⬇️
– Millworkers – The artists behind hand-carved staircases and custom woodwork! Barley Twist decorative posts on front porches, wood carved banisters, and of course crown molding, base molding and wood panels.
-Stained glass – Once a staple of beautiful homes, now practically extinct 🏺✨
– Custom cabinetry – Solid wood, not particle board covered in laminate (and definitely not meant to be painted 😠)
– Light fixtures – Once handcrafted and unique…now? Just mass-produced “boob lights” everywhere 😩
If you want to feel what real quality is like, let me show you homes that were built to last. Character, craftsmanship, and detail still exist—you just have to know where to look 👀

It wasn’t the luck of the Irish…☘️
that got this 3,300 sq ft view 🤩 home in Eagle Rock West under contract in 3 days! 🔥 🔥 🔥
It was 3 key steps:
☑️Prep the home 🏠 Declutter & De-personalize
☑️Pics- Getting my wizbang architectural photographer to capture the beauty and potential of the home
☑️Price it right! This is everything!
☑️Pre-marketing! I sent the home out on ACME’s airwaves & my mailing list to get as many eyeballs as possible.
We had several private showings and BAM 💥 offers rolled in even before the first open house!
The seller is THRILLED and we’re already in inspections. 💪
It can happen to you! Let me show you! DM me today for a no obligation consultation. 💛

You’d think buyers care most about the kitchen, the closet, or maybe even a pool. But time and time again, the one thing that kills deals? No garage 🙃🚗
Sounds dramatic, but hear me out—buyers want a safe, secure place for their stuff, their car, or in some cases, their entire livelihood. I once worked with a client whose business depended on storing thousands of dollars in inventory each night. No garage? No deal.
So, sellers—if you’re thinking about converting your garage into an ADU (or listing a home that never had one to begin with), be strategic about pricing. For some buyers, no garage is a deal-breaker.
What would you use a garage for? Storage? A home gym? A secret escape from your in-laws? Drop it in the comments ⬇️
