Which holiday house would you rather live in?

Disclosure: The characters of the movies WILL be staying at the house with you! Which house are you moving into for the season?🎅🏼🎄

Thanksgiving is over and you've had your fill of turkey and green bean casserole...you'd love to go shopping but you're not sure you have the energy!

Wondering what to do instead? I've got the perfect plan for you! **Don't worry, you won't have to change out of your pajamas!**

BLACK FRIDAY TO DO LIST:

1. Shop online 💻
2. Eat (more) leftovers 🦃
3. Cash in on one of my Black Friday Offers 🖤

If you want to be set up on a home search, want to know what your home is worth, or want a free seller's guide, DM me today! I'll be serving up real estate goodness all day!

Before you go shopping this Black Friday (or Small Business Saturday), make sure you have everything you need! **Doubles as a house hunting survival kit**

- Computer for Online Shopping: If you can buy it online, save yourself time and do it! **Look for homes online too before you look at them in person!**

- Coffee: This goes without saying...you'll need a pick me up (or 3!) throughout the day!

- Comfy Shoes: There's going to be a lot of walking...wear comfy shoes so you can focus on the products (or houses) in front of you, not the pain in your feet!

- A Plan: This is not the time to browse. Come up with a plan with your friend (or modern agent!) and stick to it!

- Time: Give yourself plenty of time!! You may be lucky enough to find everything you need at the first store (or house!), but plan on it taking a while.

- A friend: whether you just need a shopping buddy or you need an agent (who feels like a friend), don't go it alone!

Happy shopping! 🛍

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!🧡

There's nothing more fun than dusting off your Christmas totes and pulling out your favorite holiday decorations each year.

My family looks forward to this every year (hot chocolate & Home Alone 2 are non-negotiables!) But, before you decorate this season, think about this:

How do you want January to feel? Do you want to start the new year overwhelmed or feeling behind? Or do you want to start the new year fresh and energized?

I'm guessing you and I both want the latter. Here are a list of ways to help you make your home beautiful this season without the overwhelm of the new year.

1. Declutter your space. Before you add new Christmas decor, remove anything you don't need. This could be fall decor, books or trinkets you've been meaning to donate, artwork you've never liked. Your Christmas decor will make a bigger impact if the backdrop is uncluttered.

2. Edit your decor. Start with the fall decor you're putting away. Were there pieces you never got out this season? Maybe now would be a good time to donate! Then, as you're getting out your Christmas decorations, ask yourself if you really love each piece...and donate whatever you decide not to display this season.

3. The whole point of decorating for the holidays is to make your house feel homey and festive. Why create more work for yourself come January by putting out more decor than you need? If a beautiful tree, lighted garland, and your favorite singing Santa on your mantle does the trick, challenge yourself to stop and enjoy the season in a more simplified, intentional space.

BONUS TIP: Another great way to decorate your home is to focus less on CHRISTMAS decor and more on WINTER decor. Branches, pinecones, greenery, & cranberries all feel warm and cozy but could easily be displayed well into February. ❄️

Best things to keep on hand when hosting...Monica Geller style

🍽 Extra dinnerware
🪑 Extra seating
🧴 Extra toiletries
👜 Designated spot for coats, shoes, purses, etc
🛏 Extra blankets/bedding
🍗 Additional food storage

BONUS ideas: TV trays, ice (unless Phoebe has cups & ice covered!), foil, and ziplocks.

ALSO set the temp a degree or two cooler than usual if you're expecting a lot of people...between the hot food and additional bodies, your home will warm up quickly!

Happy hosting!

Things I'm thankful for: my family, my friends, and my equity 💰

To know how much equity you have in your current home, you have to know how much money you have paid towards your loan & the market value of your home.

Once you know about how much money you could expect to walk away with from the sale of your home, THEN and only then can you know what you can afford to purchase.

The whole process is as simple as a DM & a login.

First, login to your mortgage company's account and see what you've paid towards the loan so far.

Then, DM me, your favorite real estate agent, and I'll run a market analysis on your home and give you a good ballpark range of what your home would likely sell for.

Need some encouragement, future home owner?

HERE are some affirmations for home buyers.

Are you thinking it's time to move but have NO idea who to ask to represent you?

Maybe you know 5 agents and you're afraid you'll offend someone. Or maybe you don't really know anyone (other than agents you see on social media!) and you're not sure where to start.

Here's my best advice...

If you don't know any agents personally, I recommend 1 of 2 things:

1 - Ask for a recommendation from a friend who has recently bought and sold in your area.

2 - Take it to IG. Search local hashtags to find agents in your area & start doing some research.

To search hashtags, head to the search bar at the top of Instagram and type in your city and / or area name followed by "realtor".

Before reaching out to either option, here are a few questions to consider:

1. Can you learn anything about them from their account? What does their bio say? Can you see their face? Do they have an active story you can watch to get a feel for their personality?

2. Can you get a glimpse of what it would be like to work with them? Do they have any videos you can watch or resources you can request that will take you behind the scenes into their client process?

3. Does looking through their feed give you a good feeling? Have they provided value or established any trust in how they're showing up online?

Here's the thing...the client experience starts online. You can learn a lot by starting your search on social media.

Their online approach should give you some idea if they're someone you want to reach out to or not to set up a consultation.

Remember, reaching out doesn't mean you've committed to them, but it will allow you to take that next step knowing a lot more than someone that you call randomly because your neighbor's sister worked with them.

Do your research. Read reviews. Schedule the consult. Then choose to work with someone you like and trust.

Then, once you find that person, stick with them!

Do you HAVE to offer over asking price? Can you look at homes outside of your price range? Here are some things to think about and talk to your agent about before you hit SUBMIT 💰

1. What have similar homes in the area sold for recently? Is the asking price in line with the rest of the neighborhood?

2. How long has the home been on the market? If it's day 1 and there are multiple offers, you probably need to offer above asking. But if it's been a few weeks, you have more negotiating power.

3. What is the market like in the area? Is it a buyer's market, seller's market or balanced market?

4. Are there any other offers on the table? Multiple offers change everything. If you really want the house, you'll want to offer a price that is your highest and best...aka, if you don't get it, you'd sleep at night just fine because you know you weren't willing to pay one dollar more.

5. At what price would you feel that you "overpaid" for the home? Avoid buyer's remorse! Don't get caught up in the "game" of "winning" the house...make sure you're making decisions based off of your needs and not just doing whatever it takes to win.

Your agent is there to help guide you through these factors and pull relevant information that will help you determine what price to offer.

Here is your home selling timeline, then keep reading to learn how to speed up the process 💨

1. Hire a GOOD agent! Not only can they give you expert advice and guide you through the pre-market strategies and the transaction. They can also create demand for your listing to increase your net proceeds.

2. Do repairs before listing your home! Studies show that buyers want a home that's move in ready. Even if you offer an "allowance" for repairs, it can decrease the amount a buyer is willing to pay for your home. Just take care of it prior to save yourself a lot of headaches and potentially a lot of money!

Share this with someone who's thinking about selling!❤️

I want to thank me for believing in me...I want to thank me for doing all this hard work!

You did the hard work...you made it to closing day!! 🔑

Now what? Here's what to do next!

-Change your address with USPS online

-Change your address with DMV (or your local car/driver
registration) *This can also be done online

-Change all billing addresses on all your banking websites

-Change your address at work/with your direct deposit

-Register any new appliance warranties, etc.

-Do a walkthrough of your house before unpacking and make a note of any changes you want to make (by room). Furniture you need, paint, anything you want to replace.

-Send out your new address to family & friends

-Order new return address labels/stamps

-Change the locks

-Host a housewarming party!

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HOUSE HUNT WITH A BLACK FRIDAY APPROACH ➡️

If your goal is to build wealth through real estate, house hunting with a Black Friday Approach isn't in your best interest. Here's why:

Relying on headlines in the media to guide your home buying decisions is like relying on Black Friday deals to build wealth - it doesn't make any sense!

While taking advantage of Black Friday discounts is great when it comes to buying a Ring doorbell or holiday decor on Amazon, we have to stop looking at the market like we're trying to "get a deal".

Making smart real estate decisions isn't done by figuring out how to get the best deal, following the clickbait headlines online or by listening to Uncle Joe give you his advice at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. The best way to make smart real estate decisions is to team up with a real estate agent and local lender who you trust.

This is where you'll find the most up to date knowledge about the current local market and get help navigating your home purchase successfully and confidently - LIKE A PRO!

If you're ready to start your SMART home search, consider me your real estate bestie with the most up to date market info and strategies to help you make smart real estate decisions! I'll bring the coffees, you bring your pre-approval!

Before you put your turkey in the oven, stop here for this month's Homeowner Checklist 🦃

The holidays are almost here and I'm ready to start decorating! But first, I'm sharing your monthly homeowner checklist so you can be sure to take care of your house for holidays!

🛀 Check bathtub caulk and repair if needed
🍂 Remove the last of the Fall leaves.
🚨 Restock emergency kits for car and home
🔥 If you use a fireplace or wood stove, order firewood
🧽 Clean Garbage Disposal
🔑 Lubricate Door Locks
🛌 Clean (and flip) all your mattresses
🧹 Get a Chimney Sweep to Inspect the Fireplace
🛍 Get a head start on your holiday shopping

🍞 Make a donation to your local food pantry
📪 Order holiday cards and update your contact list

🎃 Happy Halloween!👻

Today is "Get Smart About Your Credit Day"!

Order your PSL to go and read my 4 tips to get your credit score pre-approval ready 💳

Hint: you may want to save this post!

1. Meet with a lender - Have them pull your credit score and talk you through it. If there are any discrepancies, report them to the credit reporting agencies and allow 30-45 days to investigate.

2. Make your payments on time - On-time payment habits are a major calculation when it comes to your credit score. Get in the habit of making your payments on time to give your score a BOOst.

3. No big purchases - You might be tempted to buy a new car to fill the extra garage stall, or buy all new furniture to make your new living room a replica of the one on Studio McGee Dream Home Makeover (because same). But, you should wait! Financing big ticket purchases like these impact your credit and could delay your home buying plans. 👻

4. Keep your debt/income ratio low - Pay down your debt. High credit utilization like outstanding credit card bills, student loan debt, etc. have an impact on your credit score.

Bottom line, financing a new home is more important than financing a new couch. Save the furniture and new car for AFTER closing day!

I'm not like a regular agent, I'm a modern agent ✨

My real estate license may look like everyone else's, but my practices are a little extra.

**Think Elle Woods, pink, scented resume kind of extra**

Providing incredible service is non-negotiable. But I like to go above and beyond for my clients, providing them a client-experience that's totally unmatched to anything they've had before.

To do that, I put just as much emphasis on my social media connections as I do my real life connection. It's why you'll see me out in the community during local events and why you see me here on social, talking about real estate and other fun things.

I am also a member of Modern Agent Social Club. This membership helps me provide all the latest and greatest resources and real estate info for you so that you can make well informed real estate decisions with confidence.

All that to say, I don't use the term "modern agent" lightly. It's intentional and strategic so that I can create a memorable experience for you and a business I love for me!

It's so fetch 💕
