Rahul Shah REAL Estate

Summa-time is a great time to change up the style and feel of your home. Bring in
some easy, breezy vibes with these summer design trends hot for 2022: ⁣
⁣
The need for green. Nothing says summer like lush green trees and tropical blooming flowers. Let the sunshine stream in, and by all means, bring the green indoors with one or two tall house plants like the snake, rubber tree, or fiddle leaf.⁣
Boho is back. For this classically casual vibe, choose pieces made of wood or fibers like rattan. Add a few bright throw pillows and blankets to your sofa along with some floor pillows and poufs. The key to boho? Toss matching, embrace color, and go funky on your lighting.⁣
Use the blues. As much as boho is back, the blues never left! This summer, nautical navy and royal blue are where it’s at. Pick up new throw pillows or lay a bold, blue rug under your wooden furniture.⁣
Major in metallics. Embrace warm metallics like brass, copper, bronze, and gold. Mix and match 'em anywhere you want — lampshades, picture frames, candle holders, planters, or decorative bowls.⁣
⁣
Use these summer 2022 design tips to make your home feel effortless, airy, and as inviting as a cool beverage on a hot summer day.

Selling a House?

Sell or rent. Sell or rent. Sell or rent. Feel like you’re going round and round and can’t decide? Good news! I’m here to help!
⁣
First up? RENTING PROS :⁣
You’ll pretty quickly adore that monthly cash flow that more than covers your property’s mortgage payment.⁣
In just a few short years, you’ll build up some nice equity (on average 3-5%), especially if property values in your area increase.⁣
Investing in real estate can be one piece of a plan for building wealth. Purchase one property and pretty soon you can use that equity to purchase your next. Warning - it can be addicting! ⁣
⁣
RENTING CONS:⁣
Being a landlord is a lot of work and quite frankly, a pain at times. (Hiring an experienced property manager can help.)⁣
Remember that monthly cash flow? It can be incredibly unpredictable if you have vacancies, difficult tenants, or extensive repairs.⁣
Depending on your financial situation, renting your home might limit your ability to secure a mortgage elsewhere. ⁣
⁣
Next? SELLING PROS⁣
In our current seller’s market, you can expect to receive offers at or above your asking price. Then, you can turn and use those funds to make a hefty down payment on your next home.⁣
Selling means you get to leave the landlord hat sitting on the table. And if life already feels full, that’s exactly where it should stay. ⁣
⁣
SELLING CONS⁣
If your future plans are unsure or you might return to the area, selling now may be premature.⁣
Selling may also require extensive updates you may not be ready to fork over the cash for. Then again, those same repairs might be necessary to attract top renters. ⁣
⁣
The best way to know for sure what’s right for you is to sit down with an agent who can run the numbers for both scenarios. More times than not, the numbers speak! Let me know if you’re ready to take that step. I’d love to help!

Fathers are our first teachers, you never failed to put us first. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads in this world

Hopefully, your day is as smooth as my closings. 😉 How smooth is that exactly? Smooth as creamy peanut butter.

Calling Realtor of Your Dream Home

Not many people have an unlimited budget. Many times we have to choose between amenities of the house or the location. Which is more important to you?

Ready to buy or sell your home? Don't worry, BEE happy, because I can provide you with all the latest housing market news! Message me with any questions you may have.

If you're interested in a home that's under contract, have no fear! Although it can seem like a dire situation at first, being isn't necessarily a bad thing.⁠
⁠
It simply means that the seller has accepted your formal offer but it's not completely done until the paperwork is signed. The owner may browse other offers as well.⁠
⁠
The best solution to keep the house you worked hard to bid for?⁠
⁠
Keep in contact with the seller, have a real estate agent by your side to guide you through the process, and stay transparent with everyone involved.⁠

All real estate agents should know the buying and selling process, grasp the market, and have a track record of success. But those qualifications are hardly enough. When you're ready for a move, you deserve more. ⁣
⁣
You deserve an agent who:⁣
⁣
- Makes the process straightforward, enjoyable, and as low-stress as possible.⁣
- Understands the intangible, emotional side of making such a major life transition.⁣
- Has the heart of a teacher.⁣
- Exudes kindness, confidence, and know-how.⁣
- Cheers you on and celebrates your success. ⁣
⁣
The truth is not all agents are the same. When you buy or sell, look for an agent who offers “more." ⁣
⁣
I’m curious: What do you want in an agent? Let me know in the comments below!

Make yourself a priority. At the end of the day, you’re your longest commitment! Wishing you an amazing Week! 🗝

💫 Staging to Sell ~ Outdoor Spaces

If you’re selling a property and looking to get the most bang for your buck—then dressing up your outdoor spaces is key.

There is nothing more coveted by Summer Home Buyers than gorgeous outdoor living spaces.

Comfy outdoor furnishings, outdoor curtains or covered areas for extra privacy or shade, multiple entertaining areas and great traffic flow are all appealing factors for Buyers.

Add in a pop or two of color to the decor and you can really bring your outdoor spaces to life!

Brand new carpet, fresh paint, shiny appliances - what’s not to love about buying new construction? ⁣
⁣
While that new home feel is intoxicating, buying new construction can be tricky without some initial know-how. So you can experience all the pros and none of the pitfalls, here are three mistakes to avoid when purchasing a new construction home.⁣
⁣
Failing to research the area ahead of time.
It’s easy to fall in love with a neighborhood and floor plan before doing your due diligence about the surrounding community. Ask around to assess what’s happening (or not happening!) in the area that may impact your home’s value down the road.⁣

Not thoroughly vetting your builder/developer.

A builder can make or break your experience buying new construction, so make sure you do your research. And don’t just take his word for it - ask for referrals, read online reviews, and talk to your agent about what they know.⁣

Waiving the home inspection.

Heads up! Newer homes can have just as many problems as older homes, so don't waive the home inspection. It can alert you to things your builder overlooked or didn't properly complete.⁣

Do you know the difference between the price versus the value of a home? 🤔⁠
⁠
The VALUE of a home is relatively more subjective since it's determined by the house's style, location, finishes, updates, condition, and design, among other similar categories.⁠
⁠
The PRICE of a home is a calculated number that's determined using comparable market analysis. While this one is a bit more objective, the value will also be considered when calculating a price.⁠
