Recently engaged. Visiting my open house. Dreaming of Japan.
They’ve been and love the people and culture.
What place have you visited that made you think, “I could live here”?

Rotary phones? I’ve done my time. A home library? Sign me up.
Ellen and I talk bookshelves and homes with room for what you love.
What old-school home feature would you bring back?

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
She picked Mykonos, Greece.
I have been there and understand her answer.
Where would you choose—and why?

Nice car. Full garage. Then came the acorns.
Before you buy, check how much room you’ll have to open the car door once the cabinets are in.

A new real estate license doesn’t come with every answer. Asking for help is part of becoming a better agent.
Ellen Thunell, Broker with Watson Realty Corp., has a message for new Central Florida agents. Watch below and message us to connect with Ellen.

Ellen and I can sometimes hear Camping World Stadium from inside our Orlando home. Buying near a stadium or busy road? Ask to tour when it’s loud. Close the bedroom windows and door and listen for a minute. What do you hear?

New real estate agents: you’re interviewing the brokerage, too.
Ellen Thunell shares 3 questions to ask:
• What training happens after licensing?
• Who helps when questions arise?
• What will running my business actually cost?
Ask before you commit. #RealEstate

Should I Buy My Next Home Before Selling My Current One?
The short answer: Buying first may help you avoid moving twice, but you could have two homes to pay for if the sale takes longer than expected.
Selling first tells you how much money you have for the next purchase, but you may need somewhere temporary to stay.
Compare the costs, loan approval, deadlines, and backup plan before deciding.

Greg, I accepted a new position in Orlando. I start in 60 days. Should I buy a house or rent for a year?

Before we look at houses, let's look at your move
Have you personally spent time around your new workplace?
How confident are you that this will be a long-term position?
Are you selling a home somewhere else?
Can you purchase here before that home sells—and would you be comfortable doing so?
Have you identified areas of Central Florida where you could see yourself living?
And perhaps most importantly: Are you sure you want to buy right now?

Blue kitchen cabinets…to keep flies away? 🪰 That was the thinking behind a famous 1920s German kitchen.
Selling your home today? Start with clear counters, organized cabinets, clean appliances and hardware that works.
And yes—inside the cabinets counts. 😂

Do you buy Halloween candy you like, or candy you DON’T like so it lasts until Halloween?
Buying your favorite is a great plan until you have to buy it twice.
Which candy wouldn’t survive at your house?

Her dream address comes with waves.
I asked Diane, “If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?”
Near the ocean. By the beach. Maybe on an island.
I love hearing these answers. Each one tells me a little more about what someone wants from the place they call home.
Would the ocean be part of your answer? Where would you live, and why?
And if your answer ever becomes a plan, we can help you explore the move.

I knew “keeping up with the Joneses.” I’d never wondered where it came from.
An old comic has a funny answer and a lesson for anyone saving for a home.
Had you heard the story?
Comic: Pop Momand.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
Her answer: anywhere her husband is.
Happiness isn’t always a destination. Sometimes, it’s a person.
What would your answer be?

I asked Ellen where she would live if she could choose anywhere in the world.
She picked Orlando. Conveniently, we’re already here.
Your turn: Where would you live—and why?

The house behind Harley sold for $550,000 in 2023. Then it was torn down.
My newer video shows the replacement under construction. An old dog video became an unexpected before-and-after.
Would you renovate or build new?
