A Special One!
Whew—this one was a labor of love!
I had the honor of helping two wonderful daughters get their parents’ condo sold so they could move on to the next chapter of their lives. From moving furniture to sorting through decades of memories, we tackled every step together.
Once we hit the market, the showings rolled in, and before we knew it—SOLD! 🎉
To my incredible clients—thank you for trusting me with such an important transition. And to the new homeowner, welcome home. ❤️
If you’re thinking about buying or selling, I bring the same dedication, care, and hustle to every transaction.

3 Restaurants to Check Out This Month
If you’re looking for a new place to try for this weekend’s date night, I’ve got you covered.
Here are some spots to check out:
Grist: If you’re craving pasta, this is your place. It is an Italian family-owned business that cooks everything with heart, and the food shows it.
They also host cooking classes, which you can check out here.
Table 33: If you try to be a little more cautious about what’s in your food these days, I highly recommend Table 33.
They never use seed oils, and their beef tallow fries are out of this world.
Coco’s Bistro: An evolving staple in Dayton for the last 20 years, Coco’s never disappoints. My recommendations are Bourbon Street salad & for dessert, Little Ava (the most delicious ginger-molasses cookie sandwich you’ll ever have).
You can visit their Instagram profiles (the links are in their names) to see the bites before you visit.
Have a favorite dining spot? Reply to this email and let me know. I’m always eager to try new recommendations.
