January ‘24 Newsletter
January recap
Wow, this month has gone by so quickly! JK, boy oh boy, has this been a rough, cloudy month. It only goes up from here boys & girls. We hope you have been cuddling in at home, taking those vitamin D supplements, or better yet, escaping to greener grasses.
Congratulations for making it through! A special shout-out to all of the mom & dads of young children this month. Winter can be isolating & days turn long inside. You made it through the worst & brighter (literally) days ahead!!!
No doubt about it, while the temps stay frosty, the market is already steadily heating up. The unofficial start of the spring market is Super Bowl Sunday. While you watch Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce smooch amongst falling confetti, make sure you are refreshing Zillow & give us a call.

Why I <3 working at K&C: After living in Dallas, TX for over 3 years working on the commercial real estate side, I moved back to Indiana to be closer to family..I then started investing in my own properties. I had great experiences with Kate Keller buying multiple properties across the state. When I decided to get my license I knew I wanted to continue working close with Kate and her team.
