Time for a little mindset reframe. If you’ve been putting off your dreams because…

- You think you won’t be successful
- You think it’s too late in the game to get into real estate
- You feel like you’ve tried before, so there’s no point in trying again

Then you need to remember that success doesn’t have a specific recipe. Putting your dreams off will ensure that they never happen.

But if you start late, or start over, or start even though you’re unsure, or hit a failure in the road, you're taking action–and taking action means that you can succeed.

Success is out there waiting for you. You just have to take the first step to get there.

Our area is seeing some low inventory in the real estate market. This is something you need to pay close attention to if you’re thinking of selling your home.

Inventory in real estate terms refers to how many homes are on the market at any given time.

When there are many homes on the market, buyers have more choices and more power. When there are fewer homes, more competition exists for buyers, which gives the seller the upper hand.

With the right strategies, you can leverage this fact and maximize the profit you make on selling your home.

Spring has arrived, bringing with it the perfect time for seasonal home maintenance and upgrades.

For large concrete cracks, opt for a concrete patching compound to effectively patch and seal the damaged area. For smaller cracks less than 1/4 inch wide, a concrete caulk or liquid filler will do the trick. Simply mix patching compounds with water and apply using a trowel for a smooth finish.

Every real estate agent says it, right? "Get pre-approved before you start house hunting." Well, in this market, it is especially important to plan and prepare in advance so that we can give you the best shot at submitting a winning offer! So the first step to purchasing a home is to get a pre-approval letter from a trusted lender. Here's what you're going to need to get a pre-approval letter:

➡️ Proof of income - you'll need to provide this so your lender can gauge how much house you can afford.
➡️ Proof of employment - is required to ensure that you have a consistent income to pay your mortgage.
➡️ Minimum Credit Score - some loans have specific credit score requirements usually starting at 620, check with your lender for specifics.
➡️ Proof of funds - your lender will ask to see proof of down payment funds by way of your bank statements.
➡️ Proof of assets is only applicable if you own existing land or property.

It's worthwhile to go through the pre-approval process with several lenders to shop interest rates and find the best deal. Be sure to do this within 45 days, so all credit checks count as one hard inquiry and won't hurt your credit score. If you're just beginning to think about buying, drop a DM anytime, and we can discuss the process!

Spring is here which means more time spent outdoors! Home improvements are always for increasing your home's value. Are you considering any of these improvements to your outdoor space?
