Buying How Your DiSC Profile Shapes Your Home-Buying Experience Buying a home isn’t just a numbers game—it’s a people game. And the most important person in the process is you. How you think, decide, manage stress, and communicate has a direct impact on the experience and the outcome. That’s why understanding your DiSC profile—Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), or Conscientiousness (C)—can be a […]
Buying The Conscientious Buyer (C) — Make Data-Confident Decisions Without Missing the Moment The DiSC C profile thrives on accuracy, structure, and thoughtful analysis. You see risks others miss and value long-term quality. The risk? Analysis paralysis—or losing good homes while perfecting the spreadsheet. Your strengths (and how to lean in) Due diligence: You’ll uncover issues early and negotiate from facts. Comparative analysis: You spot real value vs. […]
Buying The Steady Buyer (S) — Build Comfort, Keep Momentum, Choose with Confidence The DiSC S profile values stability, harmony, and trust. You’re loyal, patient, and deeply tuned into how a home supports everyday life—commute, schools, community, routines. The risk? Delaying decisions or avoiding acceptable risk—even when the right opportunity is right in front of you. Your strengths (and how to lean in) Consistency: You do your homework and think […]
Buying The Dominant Buyer (D) — Win Decisively Without Cutting Corners The D profile thrives on results, speed, and control. You like clear targets, bold moves, and measurable wins. In real estate, this can be a superpower—if you channel it. The risk? Pushing too hard, moving too fast, or overlooking details that bite later. Your strengths (and how to lean in) Decisive: You don’t hesitate. Use […]

Buying When is the real estate market going to be normal again? People often ask me: When is the market ever going to be “normal” again? In this episode of HOUSE TALK I explain why I think we are not going to see the old normal, and why this new normal is likely to last for quite a long time, maybe even a decade or more. I […]
Buying HOUSE TALK – Why agents are not allowed answer some buyers’ questions Is this a diverse community? Is this area safe? Are the schools good? These are some typical questions a buyer may ask a REALTOR® regarding a community. Unfortunately, federal and state fair housing laws make it risky, or even illegal, for us to answer them. Why? The Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the […]

In this episode of HOUSE TALK, I speak with Insurance Broker Jaina Lally of Goosehead Insurance about why you should start the process of selecting insurance much earlier.  Watch this 6 minute […]
