Albert Einstein’s quote “Creativity is intelligence having fun” is the first thing I see on the wall right outside of my office. It has always spoken to me in an intimate way and seems to calm me every time I read it. The flooding of dopamine when I am creating and implementing is pretty addictive and has been a longtime…

The spring real estate market is as sunny as the first part of April so far. While inventory levels are still historically low, so are interest rates, making it still such an amazing time to make that next move or investment.

By Amy Stockberger While 2020 has brought unforeseen uncertainty around a lot of corners, Sioux Falls has seen some pretty fabulous additions amidst it all. Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, Intermountain Healthcare, Dave & Buster’s, our very first Hyatt Place, a Chipotle and so many other wonderful additions. Sioux Falls, in my opinion, is simply the best.

By Amy Stockberger The definition of market value is what a buyer is willing to pay, but there is an art to pricing a home so that money isn’t left on the table while keeping the price within reach of the appraisal. It’s an art that an algorithm in a computer software cannot navigate, an art that only arrives with…

By Amy Stockberger I have spent my entire real estate career — my only career, mind you, so I don’t have anything to compare it against — advertising listings for sale because that is the rule book I was given. I go to great lengths to make sure my listings — the product — are as shiny and desirable as…

As our “new normal” continues to bring all the ultra-freshness of rapid adaptation, wanted or not, we are being blessed with spring. The absence of cold and snow we have been accustomed to in late April was wildly pleasant. For me, 2019 was – at the time – the strangest year I had ever sold real estate. I call the…

There are so many people we’re praying for. All the sick. Their families that can’t be with them. The medical workers on the front line. Those whose jobs have been lost.

We as humans have adjusted our expectations of what we deserve - rather, what we demand -- for goods and services rendered.  It's not just for high-priced items either.
