Stay cozy and keep out the cold all winter long with 5 December home maintenance tips: - Inspect attic insulation. If it’s level with or below your joists, you may need to add more. - Clean your chimney and fireplace. If you have gas logs, compressed air clears away dust and soot. - Check for drafts around exterior doors and replace weatherstripping or use a physical barrier if needed. - Put a few indoor and outdoor lights on timers. Added security and one less thing you have to remember. - Consider a security or doorbell camera. The holidays are rife with porch pirates. Plus, you can usually score a good deal this time of year.

Hey buyers, ever heard of an “off-market” property? Spoiler alert! It’s something you’re going to want to know about. “Off-market” properties are for sale but aren’t listed on multiple listing services. The benefit? They give you additional inventory, more opportunities to save (when commission is low), and a chance to sidestep the competition. Curious to see a list of off-market properties near you? DM me, and I'll send it over! . . . #daphnequeenrealtor #callthequeen #dreamhome #luxuryrealestate #househunting #coloradoproperties #boulderrealtor #buyinboulder #mountainhome #boulderluxury #homedesign
If a kitchen reno is top of mind this November, you might as well explore all your options! Here are a few smart home hacks you may want to use as inspiration from adventurous others who’ve gone before you: ▪️ Consider garages for your appliances. Cabinets to hide appliances are a sleek and smart way to keep your kitchen looking and feeling oh-so tidy. ▪️ Consider installing a pot filler. You can fill pots with water right at the stove, or even install a pot filler above your pet's water bowls for ultimate convenience! ▪️ Put that island to work for all things, including as a home base for appliances like a dishwasher, especially if your sink is also on the island). ▪️ Don’t put that cutting board away — give it its own drawer right over the trash can, for Pete’s sake!

Wondering what happens during a seller consult? Simple - I'll listen, learn, and strategize so we can get your house sold! Plan on lots of questions coming your way so I can get to know you and your property. Questions like: 1. Why are you moving? How soon will you need to move? 2. What do you love about your home? What would you change? 3. What is most important to you: getting the highest price or selling in the shortest amount of time? (I'm pretty sure we can both!) 4. What selling price would thrill you? Discourage you? 5. Are there any nuisances or fussy neighbors to note? 6. Any current or past problems with the home? Lead paint or other disclosures? 7. Have you completed major renovations or upgrades? When? 8. What agent services are most important to you? We’ll also talk prep, staging, pricing, and marketing. If it sounds like a lot, don't worry! You just show up, and I'll handle the rest. Ready to get started? DM me, and let’s find a time to connect today! . . . #daphnequeenrealtor #callthequeen #flatirons #flatironshome #devilsthumb #devilsthumbhomes #tablemesa #tablemesahome #martinacres #martinacreshome #8z
Are you thinking about buying a home? Have questions about the process? Unsure of where or how to begin? ✅ You need a buyer consult. During the consult (AKA you and me having a chat), I’ll break down the process step by step, answer your questions and talk through your concerns, discuss your housing wants and needs, and talk through ways to make your offer shine to sellers. Ready to get started? I'm here!

The biggest misconception I hear about buying right now is that it’s smart to wait for interest rates to come down. You DON’T need to wait! What DO you need? If you know you’re ready to buy, you need an agent who knows the market in your desired location and a trusted lender who can help you understand what you can afford. The truth is if you buy at today’s rates, you can always refinance if rates drop. But if you wait with the hope of rates coming down, you can't go back and borrow at today's rates if that doesn't happen. So the next time you think to yourself, “Maybe I’ll wait.” Don’t do it! Let me at least show you homes in your price range so you can make a decision based on facts. Is the above you? Have you been struggling to decide about buying now vs. waiting? DM, and let’s talk - no strings attached. . . . #daphnequeenrealtor #callthequeen #flagstaff #flagstaffhome #flagstaffboulder #pearlstreet #pearlstreetboulder #pearlstreethome #anewwayhome #8z

You may have heard this term thrown around recently, but what exactly is a 3-2-1 Buydown, and what does it mean for you? With a 3-2-1 Buydown, the buyer’s interest rate is reduced by 3% in the first year, 2% in the second, and 1% in the third. Obviously, this can be an absolute game changer with current rates above 7%. But this doesn’t necessarily just benefit the buyer. As a seller, offering this solution can move buyers off the fence and get your home sold faster. In a market where we’re seeing price reductions daily and homes sitting on market, a 3-2-1 Buydown could make all the difference in selling your home at the price you want!

Me? I’m a big fan of cheap home hacks. You too? Then, pull up a chair; you’re in the right place. Let me share some of my favorite budget-friendly home reno ideas you may want to consider this year: 🖌️ Paint your old, worn-out front door a warm, earthy hue that compliments your home’s shutters and exterior. 🪴 Brighten up your living room with a fresh house plant or two, new throw pillows, and chunky, cable-knit throw blankets. 💡 Replace discolored recessed lights with energy-saving LEDs. 🖼️ Create a bold statement wall with paint or wallpaper that suits your personality and pairs well with your furnishings. 🍽️ Install new cabinet hardware in the kitchen and add color with a small, trendy rug. 🌷 Pull weeds, trim shrubs, and plant seasonal flowers to make your home's outside matches its inside.

Heads up, sellers! Clean and fresh goes without saying, but a new study from GetAgent says selling your home may be as simple as one of these fragrances wafting through the halls of your home: 🍞 Freshly baked bread 🧺 Fresh linen ☕️ Newly brewed coffee You could always do some serious baking, washing, or brewing right before “show” time, but lighting a candle is definitely the easiest way to go. Other safe smells? Cinnamon, citrus, jasmine, pine, and vanilla. Ready to sell? Give me a call or send me a DM today.

Attention, home buyers! If you’re currently on the hunt for a lender, I’m going to let you in on a not-so-secret tip… ✅ Always. Choose. Local. Buying a home is a HUGE decision—and so is the lender you work with. Local lenders are more likely to provide you with stellar service because their reputation is at stake. Not to mention, your hard-earned dollars will often be recirculated within your community. So basically, it’s a win-win-win! Here are some of the benefits of using a local lender. ▪️ Local expertise ▪️ Personalized service ▪️ Support the local economy ▪️ Possible lower fees and interest rates Want to know which lenders my buyers have used and loved in our area? Just say the word! . . . #daphnequeenrealtor #callthequeen #boulderlife #boulderhomes #boulderrealestate #boulderlenders #mortgagelending #tablemesa #devilsthumbhomes
