What's Up Waco with Erica Boisvert

Sara Garza, owner of Proud Mary Boutique, joined us for a conversation that felt honest, creative, and really personal. Her love for fashion started young, shopping with her mom and sisters, and grew into something more through over a decade working in retail at places like Fabled and Anthropologie. That experience shaped not just her style, but how she connects with people. Proud Mary was born out of a desire to create something Waco didn’t quite have yet. A space that feels thoughtful, approachable, and inspiring. Sara offers a place for women to feel encouraged when they are at their most vulnerable. Getting dressed is more personal than people think, and she meets women in that moment with care, intention, and creativity. We talked about taking the leap into ownership, building something meaningful, and why shopping local matters more than ever. 📍 Visit Proud Mary Boutique Stop by and experience it for yourself on Bosque Blvd in Waco, right next to one of your favorite local coffee spots.

Your home might be your biggest financial tool…you just need to know how to use it. In this episode, I sat down with Elizabeth Bettis of DNVR Lending to talk through what it actually looks like to use your home equity in real life . Not just the theory — but how people here in Waco are using it to move into a better-fitting home or finally make updates to the one they love. We talked about that moment a lot of homeowners hit…when the house that once made perfect sense just doesn’t fit this next chapter. Maybe you’re an empty nester and ready for something simpler. Or maybe you love your home and your location, but it needs to function better for your life now. Elizabeth breaks down the different ways to tap into your equity , including loan options for renovations, construction, and one of the most helpful tools we discussed: bridge loans . This is such a good option if you want to buy your next home first, move in, get settled, and then sell your current home without all the pressure of doing both at the same time. Episode Highlights: • Real ways homeowners in Waco are using equity to move or remodel • Options for staying and improving vs. selling and starting fresh • How bridge loans work and why they can reduce stress when moving • What to consider before making your next move with your equity Connect with Elizabeth Bettis | DNVR Lending • elizabeth@dnvrlending.com • Connect directly with Elizabeth for questions about your specific situation If you’ve been wondering what your next move looks like — or how to make your current home work better for you — this is such a good one to listen to.

https://stagethevibe.com/ This week’s guest is Jackie Low, owner of Stage the Vibe, and this conversation is such a good reminder that staging is not just pretty interior design. It is a true listing strategy. If you are selling a home in Waco or you are a real estate agent building a stronger marketing plan, this episode is packed with real insight on how presentation directly impacts days on market, buyer perception, and final sale price. Jackie shares how home staging in Waco helps listings feel warm, intentional, and emotionally engaging from the very first photo. We also talk about the pitfalls of waiting to stage, especially with vacant homes that can unintentionally feel cold, overlooked, and stigmatized online. Instead of being seen as a blank canvas, they can actually sit longer and attract lower offers when the presentation is not dialed in from day one. Episode Highlights: • Why staging is a strategy, not just decor, especially in the Waco real estate market • How agents can add home staging to their listing strategy for stronger marketing and showings • The real risks of listing a vacant home and how it can increase days on market • How intentional staging helps listings photograph better and attract more buyer interest • Jackie’s favorite local Waco spots and what she loves about serving the community Schedule your staging or Check out the Vibe: • https://stagethevibe.com/ • Instagram: @stagethevibe If you are preparing to sell, refining your listing strategy, or just love learning what actually works in the Waco housing market, this episode is a must-listen.
