There’s no shortage of business coaches, guides, and experts telling you exactly how to build a successful business. But at the end of the day, the only person who truly knows what’s right for your business is you.

In this episode, I’m diving into why trusting your own intuition is the key to building a business that actually works for you. I’ll share my own experiences of following (and ignoring) my gut, how to filter through outside advice, and why you are the secret sauce in everything you create.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing things “wrong” just because you’re not following someone else’s formula, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to embrace your way of doing business.

Let’s dive in! 🎙️✨

Unlocking Equity: The Power of Strategic Pre-Sale Renovations

On this episode of Homebody - The Podcast, I’m sharing the incredible story of the Charles Road transformation—a property that went from just another house to a buyer’s dream. When my clients approached me, the house was sellable but wasn’t going to yield the returns they hoped for. That’s where vision, strategy, and teamwork came in.

Learn how I utilized tools like RealVitalize, partnered with experts from Renovation Sells, and stepped into a general contractor role to guide every detail, from renovations to staging. The result? An offer in less than 24 hours, $30,000 over list price, and clients who couldn’t be happier.

If you’re curious about the process, the programs we used, or how you can maximize your home’s potential, this episode is for you. Click the link in the show notes to learn more or to start your own transformation journey today.

Tune in now and see how every home has the potential to shine! ✨
