In this October‑launch vlog, realtor‑mom Natalie Barnes reviews her busy September, highlighting two closed sales (including her own home and a Taylor Morrison new‑construction deal), a pending listing that will go live in October, a contract under negotiation, a move into a new house, and a first‑time‑buyer assistance. She shares a favorite family memory—a Not‑So‑Scary Halloween party—and notes her continued behind‑the‑scenes YouTube content. Transitioning to October, Natalie sets quantitative goals: 2 sales, 2 contracts, and 2 new listings (counting the pending one). She announces a new social‑media experiment—daily Instagram and Facebook posts covering tips, family life, and real‑estate content—while maintaining her twice‑weekly YouTube schedule. She previews a new‑construction video from the Taylor Morrison Colbert Landing community and mentions two upcoming closings (a new‑construction home she helped build and a resale). Natalie explains her background as a former builder‑employee turned general realtor specializing in new construction in Palm Coast, arguing that buyers need a realtor to advocate against builder‑only interests. Personal highlights include a birthday Disney cruise with a Halloween‑themed itinerary, and she invites viewers to share their October goals. The video ends with multiple calls‑to‑action: like, subscribe, comment, and follow her on Instagram/Facebook for daily updates and real‑estate assistance in Palm Coast.

Hi guys, what's up? It's Natalie Barnes. Welcome to or welcome back to my YouTube channel. In today's video, I'm super excited. This is my favorite type of video to do in the beginning of every month, a little recap and a fresh session for goals for October. This is my birthday month, so I truly believe October is going to be amazing. So grab your pumpkin spice latte or your favorite fall drink. I'm actually drinking water. I've had 2 cups of coffee today, and let's chat on what happened in September and what will happen in October. September was a really busy month for me. Um, my goal was— my goal for September was 2 listings, 2 sales. I ended up getting 2 sales that closed, woohoo! And I also secured a new listing. Well, kind of, sort of. It will go live in October, so this coming months. So I'm calling it like a half win, I would say, and half patience. Real estate always keeps me on my toes, but I'm really happy on how September ended. I also got one deal under contract. So in total for the month of September, I had two closings, one of them being my personal home, one sale which was amazing, is a Taylor Morrison sale, and then one half listing, I would say. Um, and that will be going live in October. So in September, it was kind of crazy family life and real estate life. My favorite memory in September would have to be— for my family, it would be the Not So Scary Halloween party. I had so much fun, me, Arabella, and Sam going to that. And then exciting news for real estate, I got to move into my brand new house, which which we're filming in right now, and I helped a first-time home buyer, which was super exciting. I also kept up a lot with YouTube, which was really fun. If you saw any of my videos, a lot of them were behind the scenes, so that was really fun. I feel like another thing I realized in September is real estate is truly like a roller coaster. Some days I'm so incredibly busy, like today I have been nonstop. It is currently almost 6 o'clock Arabella is downstairs having a snack. I just picked her up from school, and today I just been— I had a meeting that lasted really long, but it was very much needed. And then I am trying to work another deal, and I went to the Taylor Morrison community at Colbert Landing, and I shot some videos there. So just all in all, a lot has been going on. But let's talk about October. October and my goals I am setting up for myself. I'm a very goal-driven person, so every single month I create some goals for myself. I don't have a manager telling me I need this amount of goal, this amount of homes sold. So obviously with real estate you are your own business and your own boss, and I have to hold myself accountable because I do do this full-time. So the goals I'm putting for myself for the month of October October, I want to do 2 sales, 2 contracts need to happen, 2 new listings secured, which kind of counting this one this month, I'm counting it because it's going live in October. And then I'm trying something new for the month of October. Social media has been a big part of my life. I've been doing YouTube since I was, I think, in high school, maybe even before that, I don't even know. But I'm trying to use social media as a way to get leads. Meets. So in the month of October, I'm trying something completely new. I'm trying to post every single day in October on Facebook and Instagram. So whether that's tips and tricks, behind the scenes, family life, anything real estate related will be on that account. And I will leave that in the down box below too so you can follow me on there. Plus I have YouTube. If you follow me, you know I've been posting every Thursday and Sunday. I'm keeping that up on for October. Consistency is key, and I know something has to generate from it one way or another. I also have two sales closing at the end of October, October 31st. One is a very cool sale, I think. It's a new construction home. I actually built the home when I was with Miranda, so it's very, very special to me. The other one is a resale, one of my listings. So fingers crossed. Obviously anything can happen and it's super stressful, but hopefully everything works out. God's plan. And those close on time. Speaking of new construction, I will be posting a new construction video next week. Actually, I think it's going up Sunday, um, and that will be from the Colbert Landing community, the Taylor Morrison home. So keep an eye out on that. Out. Keep an eye out on that. Keep an eye out. Keep an eye out for that. Wow, I really had to think about that. All in all, I'm super, super, super excited for October. I have a whole entire agenda planned for not only social media but also ways on how I can generate leads. Um, I don't buy leads, I don't, you know, do any of that. I am a new construction agent, so If you're new to my channel, a little bit about me. I used to work for a builder, a couple different builders, um, first half of my real estate career, and now I am a general real estate agent. I service in Palm Coast, but I also do rentals as well. I specialize in new construction homes, and a lot of people are like, why would you ever need a realtor for new construction? And simple— simply put, builders are out for builders, and you definitely want an agent to represent you and stand up for you and negotiate for you in any way possible. So I highly encourage, if you are going to get a new construction, get a realtor. I mean, they will really stand up for you, and they know how to get you the best deal possible. But yeah, I am super excited for this month. I hope you guys are too. Too. I have a Disney cruise planned for my birthday. I will be filming that as well on my YouTube channel. So if you guys like Disney, stay tuned because I think I'm gonna have 2 videos on that. I'm super excited. Um, we are doing the Not So Scary— I don't know, I think it's called Halloween on the High Seas Disney cruise. It's funny because I do not like Halloween. Like my least favorite holiday, and we do a lot of Halloween activities, like a lot. So super excited for that though, my birthday cruise. So stay— so subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to see that. But that is my plan for October and a little behind the scenes on what you guys are going to be seeing from me this month.
