That Pineapple Realtor

 Let me tell you my girl Corina has been KILLING it these past few months.  So a little background story. Corina and I had met a few years ago at my previous brokerage. I was a realtor and she worked the front desk. Instantly, I knew we were going to be friends. Overtime though, you could tell she was not happy at work. It was not her passion, her drive, did not make her want to wake up in the morning.  So, when I saw she had started up her own business I was not shocked at all 😉 Let me tell you she is on 🔥🔥🔥! So, what is Corina doing with herself now a days... She is making and designing these beautiful HAND POURED CANDLES!! Do not worry, I have plenty of pictures and info because they are absolutely gorgeous!  To top it off, this is not just a hobby that she is dabbling in, she is absolutely killing it with sales!  Corina creates Small Batch, Custom Designed, Eco Friendly Soy Candles, hand poured in Wyomissing, PA. Soy Wax is a renewable resource that is b...

May I present to you 1033 N. 5th St. Reading, my brand new listing!  This is a pretty cool property with LOADS of income potential. Depending on what your goals are you could...  A. Live in one apartment and rent out the other (in doing so rent would COVER the mortgage for the property). B. Rent out both sides of the property maximizing your profit! Either way this is a MUST SEE for anyone looking to purchase in the city.  The owners have kept this property extremely well kept. You can tell that he takes pride in the ownership of his investment properties. The multi has passed all city inspections, so there literally is nothing left to do but move your stuff in. Albright college is close by as well making this attractive for college students. It is also close to public transportation, parks, shopping and major highways!  So, lets get down into it. There are two units available. The first floor unit is a 1 bed 1 bath. This unit has access to the basement, wh...

I think we all are in agreement 2020 has been a whirlwind of a year. I know personally I have felt every single emotion you could possibly imagine.  In the beginning, it was hell yeah, 2020 gonna kick some ass woo! Then March rolled around... and BOOM. The world as we know it SHUT DOWN. Real estate was shut down. My entire life completely crumbled. No one really realized how serious things were about to get. Then all of a sudden... BOOM, real opens back up and HOLY SHIT everyone and their 10 distant cousins wants a house!!  For some families home-ownership seemed impossible. But of course, working with amazing people, we get shit done 🙌 When I met these guys they were one of these couples. Unsure of this crazy market, first time buyers and had a bad experience previously trying to purchase. Homes are FLYING off the market, literally within hours, so we knew we had to be aggressive.  This couple was a referral from an awesome past client. They were pretty specific about w...

Merry Christmas to all my family and friends! 🎄 I hope everyone had an amazing day. My day has been so full of love and appreciation. Alana must have known Santa visited because she was wide awake at 6am. 😳 She walked down the hallway and it was still dark out. The only light that was on was the Christmas tree and twinkle lights in the kitchen. It was perfect.  She immediately went over to the baby shark presents as expected 😂 But as she started to go through things Her favorite by far ended up being the shopping cart. She has been playing with it non stop, putting all her different stuffies and toys in it and taking them all over the house. It's fucking adorable.  She played all morning with that damn cart. Wheeling it around, chasing the puppers. It was great. We then headed over to visit with family. We had a great time and Alana had so much fun playing with her brother and sister!    It was so nice to get together with family. Alana is so blessed to have so ma...

  It's the most wonderful timeeeeeee of the yearrrrrrr!  ♭♮♭ Especially for the Trout family who just purchased the PERFECT home for their family!  So a little back story on these guys... I met the Trout's back at an open house I was hosting.. maybe 2 years ago now. I was about 7-8 months pregnant with my daughter and funny thing.. my buyer was pregnant as well. I think that is why we initially bonded immediately.  They walked through the house, but I could tell the home was not for them. We had a short, but meaningful conversation about their goals and what they were looking to do.  They were in the process of getting their home sold in Maryland and moving back up to PA. It was a fun adventure filled with snarky ass comments (coughbencough), which I gotta say makes my job so much more enjoyable. 😆 When we first came across the property there was some hesitation at first... the septic was shot and needed replaced. I know what y'all are thinking... SEPTIC. That ...

 Today was a pretty monumental day for me. I conquered something that I have always been terrified to do... I did a snow hike, in a new location, ALONE .  Link and info for the hike at the end of this post. If anyone else was doing it I would say you're crazy. No way in hell, turn back, find someone to go with you NO NO NO!  But, being who I am, I decided why not, lets give yourself a challenge.  (for all of you going OMG what is wrong with you don't worry, my girl knew where I was, I had a map, I am an experienced hiker in this terrain and I use my brain).  Any-who, I was pumped driving up to the mountain-- blasting slow jams in my jeep. Talking myself up and ready to go!  It was absolutely perfect. There was NO ONE in the parking lot, NO ONE on the trail, and I did not see or hear a single person until I got back to the jeep around noon. It was just me and nature. The trail itself was moderate I would say. There definitely were times of pre...

What a snowstorm that was! How much did you get?! And where are you located at?? Here in Mohnton (Berks county, PA) I had about 8-9". So of course my ass decided to take my jeep out and see how it handled in the snow. Like a DREAM, let me tell you that thing is amazing. I am beyond thankful for my clients who trusted in me and allowed me to finally purchase a nice vehicle for me and my daughter. 😄 The first of my new adventures took me back to French Creek . Yes I know y'all are thinking I am crazy for being out in the freezing cold BUT let me tell you I have figured it out finally!  I am anemic so believe me when I say I get it! But winter hiking is probably one of the most beautiful times to hike! All you have to do is layer yourself. (Keep in mind I am severely anemic and anything below 60 I have a sweatshirt on).  And I was peeling layers off because I was starting to sweat. It works. See below..  Lets start on the bottom... your feet. This is the most important...
