Looking to expand your space but need to sell your current home first?

In an ideal world, buying and selling would fall in line perfectly. But in reality, things can take time or hinge on your current home’s sale.

Thankfully there are a few savvy solutions to help smooth out any bumps in the road:

▪️**Leasebacks**: Sell your home and rent it back, giving you time to find your dream home without rushing or moving twice.

Planning to buy and sell at once? Here’s how to smooth the process:

- Align closing dates.
- Prepare backup housing options.
- Keep close communication with your real estate team.
- Stay calm through the details—soon, you’ll be settled in your new home!

Here’s the scoop from a recent Frontdoor survey on the hottest home features, room by room, in 2024:

Kitchen: Think sleek granite or quartz countertops, mood-setting recessed lighting, a walk-in pantry big enough to get lost in, and a double oven for cooking up a storm.

Living Room: Picture-perfect with gleaming hardwood floors, walls of windows letting the light flood in, and an open layout perfect for entertaining or just stretching out.

Primary Bathroom: Get ready to pamper yourself with a luxurious soaking tub, a walk-in shower that’s basically a spa, a double sink vanity for those busy mornings, and a walk-in closet to house your wardrobe.

Eco-Friendly Features: Get with the green scene with smart lighting and a thermostat that knows just how you like it, EV charging for your electric ride, solar panels for savings and sustainability, and a tankless water heater for endless hot showers guilt-free.

Throughout: It’s all about that natural light, those private en suite bathrooms, and storage galore, because you can never have too much storage.

Just for fun… because you all loved this so much last year 😜 this is why you shouldn’t wait to buy! As if the last few years haven’t taught us this enough, this may give you a good visualization of how home appreciation works.

Here we have 3 homes in Cartersville. Each home cost $325,00 when it was on the market… the 1st photo recently sold, the 2nd was what $325,000 would have gotten you 5 years ago & lastly what you could have purchased at $325,000 10 years ago. All 3 homes were fairly new construction and less than 5 years old when sold as well.

The last home would likely sell for over $700K in todays market. When you purchase a home, as long as you continue to maintain the home, you will always build equity. The longer you continue to sit on the fence about buying, the more that house you’re wanting will appreciate while you could have been building equity. Owning a home is one of the easiest and quickest ways to build wealth.

Not sure if buying right now is a good idea? Let’s chat! DM me or send me a text and let’s chat!

If you want to get in on the action, look for properties close to colleges, hospitals or busy job centers — then send me a message.

Fact: It pays to be a homeowner. Why? One word: Appreciation. Your home’s value is set to rise over the next 5 years, and here’s the proof.

According to Pulsenomics’ Home Price Expectation Survey (HPES), over 100 experts –comprised of economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts– agree that home prices will continue to rise annually, between 3-4%, through 2027.

Let’s bring that to street level. 

Imagine you invested in a $400,000 home at the start of 2023. Thanks to HPES forecasts, your property could potentially gain a whopping $71,000 in added value over the next half-decade. Now, that’s what I call a return on investment.

The takeaway here is clear - being a homeowner truly pays off in dividends. You haven’t just purchased a property; you’ve acquired a growing asset that boosts your wealth year after year.

If you’re contemplating the leap into homeownership, let’s connect. Together, we’ll explore how your home can be a wealth-building investment.

You wake up, sip your coffee, browse the MLS listings, and there it is — your house, unsold. 

If this is you this February, consider making these tweaks to turn that ‘for sale’ into ‘sold’.

1) Adjust the price.

A high price tag is often the biggest obstacle to a quick sale. Maybe it’s a tad too high compared to the neighborhood average or isn’t in line with your home’s condition. Perhaps it’s time to reopen that conversation with your agent.

2) Improve the condition.

A chip in the paint or a squeaky door could turn potential buyers away. Maintaining your property and doing necessary repairs shows buyers your house is ready to be their home. 

3) Stage and declutter. 

Ever been to a crowded store where you couldn’t find anything you wanted? That’s how buyers feel in a cluttered house. Creating a visually appealing, spacious environment can do wonders. 

4) Work with the right agent. 

If your home isn’t getting the right amount of showings or offers, it might be time to reevaluate your agent. Discuss details about how they’re working to sell your home, find out what they’re doing, and confirm you’re both on the same page.

I just had a client that went under contract after little to no action on the home all because we readjusted our plan of action - staged the home, reshot photos, improved the price and readjusted the marketing. Your agent should be working in your favor by doing what needs to be done to get your home sold as quickly as possible, for the most money as possible.

Sale your home for 20% more with THIS game-changing strategy:

Staging. Here’s why…

It's not just about looks – it's about crafting an immersive experience that helps buyers see their future in your space. Remember that in todays market, first impressions are EVERYTHING!

Stand out in a competitive market, sell faster, and potentially get more than expected - often time 20% more.

Invest wisely in staging – often cheaper than your first price drop. It’s a smart move with PROVEN results!

2024 Investment Hack: Buy Residential Real Estate.

Why? From 1970-2007 there was an average of 1.145 million single family homes built a year. From 2008 to 2022 the homes built per year fell to 733,000. (that's units per year)

On top of that in the 1980s we had another "baby boom". Those babies started turning around 33 years of age in 2020 and is about 72 million homebuyers strong just entering their prime buying years.

So for the next 10 years (at least)the demographics and data show that housing demand will continue to outpace supply and it will be nearly impossible for home builders to fill the gap. Prices will keep rising.

So Buy Residential Real Estate. It doesn't have to be the perfect deal, and don't worry about the rate if you can afford it and you like the house--pull the trigger. Lower rates means even more competition for you, so the case can be made you want to buy when the rates are higher. (You can always refinance the rate lower if/when they drop)

NEW YEAR, SAME ME✨ There’s a lot of new faces around here, so I thought I'd take a moment to share a little bit about me and how I got to where I’m at today.

Swipe through to learn more about why I got into real estate, my favorite things, and a few interesting tidbits you may not know.

Make sure you chime in by commenting below and tell me something about you!

To all of my friends, family & clients who supported me or referred me this year - THANK YOU!!

Relationships continue to be the most important part of my business. It’s not just a transaction, it’s about creating friendships & trust with clients who become friends and people I network with. Once again, word of mouth and referrals continue to be my best source of business… it made up over 1/2 of my business this year.

Although this was a slower year for me, I was able to sow into my boys and my family during the down times… those are times I know I’ll never get back and I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you who continues to trust and support me and my family! 🥰

I have big goals to help 30 families achieve their real estate goals in 2024 💪🏻 If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell your home in the coming year I hope to be first on your list! 📄

Before the elves disappear they have one last thing to bring you…

Here are 8 things you can do NOW to prepare your home for selling this year!

The Fed has announced that we will see 6 rate drops in 2024 which means more demand and competition from buyers which will push prices of homes once again.

So if you are thinking of selling your home in 2024 take care of this to-do list to prep your home the market. If you’ve owned your home for a while it may be worth having a pre-list inspection done or if you’ve owned it for just a few years and still have your old inspection report go ahead and knock out those items you put on the back burner when you purchased.

From handmade treasures to personalization and wardrobe options, these top 3 spots have it all in my opinion!

Write! Downtown is one of my favorite little boutiques to shop gift options at! Also a great place to buy for the babies & littles in your life!

Needing somewhere that has a bit more options for the men in your life? Southern Cove always had the best apparel and gift options for the entire family.

Or maybe you’re looking for something for your home… if so you can find handmade items and decor galore at Urban Market Warehouse

Which of these 3 is YOUR favorite stop when downtown? Have another suggestion drop it below for everyone👇🏻

Contrary to what the media is putting out in the public, we are still in a strong sellers market. Although average Days on Market (DOM) are longer than they have been leading to longer months of inventory, we are still below the 6 month inventory which determines if we’re in buyers or sellers market.

What we are seeing happening in the market is nothing abnormal for this time of year with more homes available, less overall sales happening and longer time on the market.

Welcome to Atlanta 🤣

Congrats Atlanta!!! We did it. Traffic was so bad this morning we’re trending worldwide on social media

Even in a sellers market it’s so important to list your home correctly from the start.

Pricing too low can cause you to lose out on getting the most money.

Pricing too high can cause you to sit on the market longer than necessary.
