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

Jill Stoltzfoos • December 19, 2022

What really matters...


All I wanted was just one. Just one perfect picture for our Christmas card. That's all. Our photographer worked her kid bribing magic, I made lots of promises of rewards, had lots of treats and I got real life. 


I know I'm not alone in my picture perfect desires however I am not disappointed. This captures what our household looks like on the daily - sibling rivalry, laughter and chaos. This is home. 


My Instagram handle is titled "Jill.Real.Life.Real.Estate" because I see it with real estate transactions as well. 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!

Sell Your Home in December!

Sellers will often ask me if they can really sell their house in December. Historically December is one of the slowest months in real estate, but I always tell them about my story. We purchased our current home in December and settled on New Years Eve. It's true that it's a slower time of the year but a serious buyer is always looking!
