Here's the deal... buying and selling can get pretty stressful and overwhelming. As your agent, it's my job to not only guide you throughout the process but also alleviate as much stress as possible.

With that being said, we will likely be spending a lot of time together, so it's important to be transparent with each other, and also understand that there are a few things that definitely WON'T offend me.

In fact, there are some things that will help us work better as a team and get you the results you're looking for.

MONDAY MOTIVATION ✨

Every stumble and every setback is a chance to grow stronger. Don’t let your mistakes weigh you down; instead, let them become the foundation for your next success. Each misstep is a lesson learned, a stepping stone on the path to greatness.

Embrace the journey, learn from your experiences, and keep moving forward with resilience and determination. Your mistakes don’t define you; they empower you to reach new heights.

Selling your home can be a very complex and overwhelming process, so finding and working with the right agent is crucial. Between recommendations from friends and family, your co-worker who sells real estate part-time offering to help, and all of the various websites available, it can be difficult to decide who to trust with one of the most complex financial decisions of your life.

This is why taking the time to interview agents is essential. Here are a few questions you should ask when interviewing realtors to ensure you find the best fit. →

Considering selling? I would love to interview for the position to help you sell quickly and for the most money possible!

I get it, searching for homes on Zillow is pretty easy... but here's the thing — once you spot a home you actually want to see, DON'T click the "request a tour" button. 📣

When you click that button, your contact information is sent to multiple agents in the area, leading to a flood of phone calls, texts, and emails.

So, if you're NOT trying to field calls from 5-10 agents, there's an easier way. Send me a message, text me, or call me! My contact information is in the link in my bio, so never hesitate to send me a message with the home you're interested in, and we can schedule a tour.

I promise it will be much easier!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY ✨

Just going to leave this here...

Remember to embrace YOUR uniqueness and individuality.

Reminder! Your monthly homeowner checklist ✔️

This month marks the beginning of Summer, ☀️ making it an ideal time to take care of those outdoor home maintenance tasks before the heat becomes too much!

PRO TIP: Did you know that changing your ceiling fan direction seasonally is a simple way to save money year-round? In the Summer months, make sure it moves counterclockwise to help create a downdraft, which creates that direct, cooling breeze. During the Winter months, it should move clockwise to create an updraft and circulate warm air around the room (there should be a button or small switch on the fan or on the remote).

"Agent Hopping": when you work with multiple agents at once, whether it is intentional or not.

The home buying process will be much smoother if you hire one trusted agent from the start rather than randomly contacting agents via signs, real estate websites, and open houses.

Swipe through this post for just a few reasons why agent hopping can be detrimental to your buying process. →

Here are a few ways that you can make sure you are NOT agent-hopping:

✔️ Interview agents before you start your search. Make sure you interview multiple agents and pick one who you trust and get along with to represent you. You'll be spending a lot of time with them!

✔️ When working with a Realtor, don't ask another agent to show you a home.
If you see a home you like, but your agent is not available, ask if they have a coworker or assistant who can help them show you the home or if there is an open house you can attend.

✔️ Don't contact listing agents directly for property information. Your agent can get you information on ANY home, even if it is listed For Sale by Owner! The listing agent selling the home represents the seller, and you want to ensure you have someone looking out for your best interests as well.

What you need to know: If you've been working with an agent already, make sure you contact them! You are NOT bothering your agent!

If you're just starting your home search and are looking for a Realtor, I would love to grab coffee and discuss your homeownership goals. Just send me a message, and let's get started!

Fun fact: there are some things that I CAN'T share with you as your Realtor regarding neighborhoods.

Why? ↓

Legislation implemented the Fair Housing Act to end housing discrimination based on factors such as race, religion, s*x, disability, and more. Therefore, Realtors are prohibited from discussing the demographic composition of a specific neighborhood because providing such information or opinions about residents can inadvertently lead to discriminatory practices.

Buying a home can be stressful, and with everything else on your mind, the last thing you want to stress about is the mortgage process. That's where your choice of lender becomes crucial.

While owning a home can be very rewarding, it's crucial to understand ALL of the costs of homeownership before determining whether it's the right time to buy.

Unfortunately, many buyers are caught off guard by the unexpected expenses associated with owning a home. While paying a mortgage every month is expected, the hidden costs can dampen the excitement of moving into a new place (especially if something breaks on day one).

My tip: Before you start house hunting, put together a budget and remember to set aside an emergency fund for anything unexpected that may arise.

If you're thinking about buying a home, here are some expenses to keep in mind. →

Save this post for future reference, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the home buying process!

Have you thought about selling recently but wondered, "But where will I go?"

You're not alone!

If you need to sell before buying, whether it's because you need the money for the downpayment or wouldn't qualify to hold both mortgages at the same time, a leaseback option may be something to consider!

So, what exactly is a leaseback? It's an arrangement between the buyer and seller in which the seller remains in the home for a set period post-settlement, with the buyer assuming the role of landlord (meaning you, the seller, essentially become the tenant!).
