Intensely Grateful

Intense is the best word I can use to describe the real estate market today... And I am grateful!

Intensely Grateful | Blog post by Jill Stoltzfoos Realtor

Intense is the best word I can use to describe the real estate market today. Grateful is exactly how I feel at the privilege of helping my clients through this intense market. Intensely grateful am I.


For the past 18 months, any buyer that has come to me has needed to hit the ground running. The learning curve can be steep for a buyer no matter the market. Now these buyers learn that it is 'normal' to spend 30 minutes in a home and write an above asking price offer within the next 12 hours in order to have a shot at winning the bid, sometimes doing this several times before going under contract. I do my best to educate and teach before we get into it but once their toes are in the water they feel the intensity of the market.


A Seller that is choosing to sell is faced with intensity of preparing their home for the market, the flurry of back to back showings and reviewing multiple offers. For a Seller the span of intensity is less with selling but balancing the sale with finding their next home to buy adds to their intensity.


By nature, I'm not an intense person but a helper in times of intensity. My years of intensive care nursing, selling real estate during the frantic pre bubble '08 real estate market and being in the trenches of raising my triplets have taught me a lot about intensity and how to work with its unforgiving stress. With my years of working in intensity coupled with my helping nature, I am confidently able to guide my clients through their intense time. And I love it!


I am intensely GRATEFUL that I can use my experience, skills and knowledge to guide you, my client today.

It's Beginning to Look Lot Like a Real Life Christmas

By Jill Stoltzfoos • December 19, 2022
Each transaction has it's own unique reality. Certainly it doesn't make one deal better or worse it's just the reality of that transaction and house. Maybe the garage door has a quirk when it opens and the living room paint looks pink in certain light. Life happens all around us. It's never picture perfect for long but that is the beauty of life. Enjoy your real life Christmas and holiday season!
