    Thinking about selling your home but not sure if now is the right time? In this first episode of the Keys & Cafecito Seller Series, Anna breaks down the biggest question every homeowner has: Should I sell my home right now, or should I wait?

    You’ll learn how falling mortgage rates affect buyer demand, why waiting for “the perfect time” can backfire, and why strategy matters more than timing. Anna also shares how your personal goals — like upsizing, downsizing, or relocating — should play the biggest role in your decision.

  • Why Agent Choice Matters
    Sep 7 2025

    In this episode of Keys & Cafecito, Anna shares the story of a recent escrow that almost fell apart — not because the buyers weren’t qualified, but because their agent was brand new and didn’t know how to manage the process.

    Missed deadlines, last-minute lender changes, and poor communication nearly cost the buyers their dream home. Anna explains what went wrong, how close the deal came to falling through, and why her seller still walked away stress-free and satisfied.

    🎧 Buyers, this one’s for you: not all real estate agents are the same, and choosing the wrong one can cost you more than you think.

    ☕ Tune in and learn why who you work with matters more than ever.
