Nate Carver and Kristine L. Edens discuss real-world homebuying and selling in North Texas—especially McKinney, Melissa, and Princeton. Kristine shares why she became a Realtor: after feeling like “a number” in her own transactions, she built a business around responsiveness, education, and advocacy when deals get complicated.

For first-time buyers, Kristine’s advice is simple: start with your finances and build a plan—whether you’re ready now or need 6–18 months to get “home-ready.” They also break down what’s changing in each city (land constraints and price pressure in McKinney, rapid growth in Melissa, and affordability + infrastructure “growing pains” in Princeton), plus what she’s doing to help sellers win attention with modern marketing.

On this episode of Between Two Doors, host Nate Carver welcomes Denise Bibeau, a top-producing REALTOR® with Re/Max AllStars and incoming 2026 President of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Florida. Denise reflects on nearly a decade in real estate and more than three decades of combined experience in sales and leadership, sharing how service-driven values and community engagement have fueled her success in Ocala.

Listeners will gain valuable insight into Ocala’s real estate market, including buyer and seller expectations, market timing, insurance considerations, and what truly drives long-term satisfaction in homeownership. Denise also explains why professional leadership and statewide networks matter—not just for agents, but for the clients they serve. This episode is a must-listen for anyone exploring Florida living or seeking a trusted guide through the home buying or selling process.
