If you have found this page I bet you've been to Branson, MO before?Have you wondered what it's really like living in the tourist town of Branson, and if you would really like living here? Like any other tourist town it's always undergoing changes but at the same time it's very exciting to see something new! With a small population compared to the 9 million visitors we get, we definitely have a "build it and they will come" mentality. There's great opportunity here, no doubt about it! It's beautiful and there's so many awesome things to do, so many interesting and friendly people. Living here has been a unique experience. In my blog today I'm sharing a recent video I made. I'll be talking about how to get around Branson and avoid traffic, What locals like to do, and a little about Brans... 01/25/2022

Welcome to Meadow Brook condos in Branson, MO!  These pictures were taken on a hot summer day last summer while showing this condo for sale to an investor client of mine in California. Since it was the perfect 3 BD unit, updated and ready for nightly rental,  she bought it:) It has a great pool and beautiful landscaping, plus its right in Branson and just a few minutes from Table Rock Lake.  The surrounding condos are all timeshare, but these are whole ownership and the nightly rental rules are not restrictive. You can hire any managment team or do your own VRBO. The 3 Bd and 2 Bd units both do very well on nightly rental and many of them have been remodeled.If you see one of these for sale again, keep in mind they go fast! Please contact me for any further info on the Branson Condo Mar... 01/06/2022

Welcome to Branson's most loved 55+ Community at Lakewood Estates! There's a couple new developments in Branson for retirees but Lakewood Estates offers something that I think is a little more special than the rest. It has a charm to it that is different than the usual 55+neighborhood. Just off the roundabout at Parnell Dr. right by the Branson Landing are these wonderful clusters of retro style duplexes. Yes they are older, but many of them have now been updated. Even if you find one that's not, it's well worth it to update one since it has a great location. Lakewood Estates has beautiful mature trees and the landscape here is flat along Taneycomo Lake, which means its a perfect place to get out and walk! If you're a very active 55+, you can walk from here to the downtown area of Brans... 01/04/2022

I just finished the Branson Real Estate Market Report for the past 5 Years.  With the NAR showing a national average appreciation rate of 3.6%, most market segments in Branson have done very well indeed.  The largest increase was single-family lakefront properties appreciating at an average of 17.2% per year for the past 5 years.  WOW!  Runner up was acreage homes on 1-10 acres, with an appreciation rate of 9.1%.  The second runner up was condo lakefront homes coming in at a 6.4% increase.  For more information, please read the full report. Also in the report are statistics from several nearby communities, such as Hollister, Branson West, Kimberling City, and Ozark. With just having moved to Branson from Nashville a couple of years ago, I was curious as to the comparison of Nashville to... 01/22/2020

Just a little update on the real estate market in Branson Mo. I'm actually inserting this in my monthly newsletter, and adding more thoughts and info here to give you an idea of what's going on. As you can see the market has improved in March and holding steady this past April. Our average list price has been up there around 200K but really this is a combination of higher end lake homes and lower end 100-130 average homes. It's good to see list price and sold prices are getting closer together, so sellers are not losing as much as they were in the winter months which is typical for our area. Both of these lines spiked in March getting the average sold/list price over 150K, which I have not seen in years. I know a lot of buyers have really been working hard on their credit, and finally q... 05/27/2016

 Branson Missouri is where I have chosen to live and I love it!  First of all, there are 4 distinct seasons and winter is relatively mild.  Springtime is beautiful with the dogwoods blooming in the Ozarks, and the variety of light green colors of the Ozarks forests as  their new beginnings of growth are on display. The fall can be very colorful, depending on the amount of rainfall at the right times. The Ozark Mountain Highroad and the backroads of the Branson area are spectacular color in mid to late October.                                                                  Second, I love Christmas  season and Branson Missouri starts Ozark Mountain Christmas November 1st through mid December. Branson lights up the town, as do all the local hotels, dining and entertainment. A must see is... 06/29/2015

Branson's Number One Tourist Attraction Putting On A ShowUpdate: If you are in the Branson area from March 17-19th, the gates will be open as there is repair work on one of the power generating turbines. Don't forget to check the Table Rock Lake Dam Floodgates open! The rain came down across the Midwest in the last few weeks. A few of these heavy rains were accompanied by lightning, which affected two of the turbines that generate power from the water flow of Table Rock Lake into Lake Taneycomo.  All ten gates are opened slightly, while the turbines are being inspected for damage.For the Branson tourist, it is a rare site to see in the springtime, no less in June.It is a spectacular sight and sound to hear the roar of the water flowing through the gates from Table Rock Lake into Lake Ta... 06/03/2015

 Being the daughter of a Veteran the Homes for Heroes program speaks volumes to me.  My father was actually killed on a motorcycle coming home on leave when I was 3 years old and so I never got to know the Hero that he was. I worked in the medical industry for 20 years and know the passion that it takes to care for the sick.  My desire and passion now as a real estate broker is to give to those who serve our communities on a daily bases.  That means YOU.  I love finding homes for buyers and seeing the joy on their face when they find the home of their dreams and have a smooth transaction to buy that property.  I also love to see the relief and satisfaction on the face of the buyer when their home is SOLD in a timely fashion.  What is it that I can do to serve YOUR real estate needs?
