Yesterday was a pretty fabulous day! We celebrated the opening of my company - . It was so special seeing everyone who came and I wholeheartedly felt supported and loved. Thank you to my friends, family and members of the community for being there! I appreciated it all more than you know.

It’s been one heck of a year with this property. 😅 when I tell you I’m happy to get this baby closed you don’t even know how glad I really am! I’ve learned more about Life Estates, Wills, Common Law Marriage, Heirships, the VA and selling mobile homes than I thought imagined. Some could argue that I’m an expert at this point. 🫠😂 What I mean to say though is, I had the best client ever through this experience. And I’m incredibly grateful he stuck with me without giving up…even through all 4 times I had this property under contract! Woohoo congrats 🍾🎊🎈🎉 to everyone!

If you’re ready to get out of Houston…call me!

Credit scores are often the elephant in the room when it comes to finances. But guess what—you don’t have to have a perfect credit score to get a house. In fact, you don’t even have to be close.

Some loans like the FHA or VA loan will accept credit scores as low as 500.

And if you’re not quite there, here’s how you can boost your credit score.

-Pay your bills ON TIME. This is critical. Extra credit for setting up autopay!

-Pay down your credit cards as much as you can. Don’t focus as much on long-term loans like student loans.

-Make sure your credit balance isn’t more than 30% of your limit.

Put a bit of effort into boosting your credit score, and you’ll see results. And you’ll get a lower interest rate on your mortgage!

For more info on credit scores, make sure to grab the guide. Link in bio!

What’s more intimidating: saving for a down payment or thinking about your 15 year high school reunion? My guess is probably the down payment.

But it doesn’t have to be scary! You just need a little time and some commitment.

Your down payment is basically to show that you have skin in the game when it comes to your mortgage. Generally, lenders require a 20% down payment. But you can often put down less and use private mortgage insurance or PMI.

So right now, focus on growing that down payment so you can buy your first home. Save this post so you’l know what to do!

And for even more info on down payments and how you can save for them, click the link in my bio to download the Renter to Buyer guide.

Whether you’re buying or selling, let’s make sure your next move is a slam dunk! 🏡🔑

This might be an understatement but… finances are important when it comes to real estate. Especially if you’re buying a house for the first time.

To buy a house, you’ll need a down payment on your mortgage. Under 20% is usually fine, but you’ll have to pay an additional cost in the form of private mortgage insurance or PMI. Check out different loan options to find a down payment that works for you.

You’ll also want a good handle on your finances and your DTI (or debt to income ratio) before you start the home search.

Your property budget, interest rate, and pre-approval amount depends almost entirely on your finances, so you want them in as good of shape as possible.

Honesty hour: Are you actually ready to become a homeowner?

Maybe you think you are, but how can you know for sure? Start by asking yourself a few questions.

1. Do you have enough saved for a down payment?

2. Can you get approved for a mortgage? This requires decent credit and steady employment

3. Are you ready for the responsibility of becoming a home owner? Owning a home is a big responsibility.

If you can answer yes to all of those, then you might just be ready. And if you’re not quite there yet, no worries!

Make sure to download the guide so you can really prepare to be a homeowner—whether you’re ready right now or will be in the future.

I bet you believe at least 1 of these! Real estate has a lot of myths that often keep people from becoming homeowners.

Let’s put a stop to that, shall we?

Swipe to see some of the biggest real estate myths.

1. No, you don’t need 20% down to buy a house. Some loan options will let you have as little as 3.5% down.

2. Rent might be cheaper in the short-term if you find a good deal, but you’ll never see that money again. And let’s be real, rent is only going up.

3. Interest rates might be rising a little, but compared to a few decades ago? They’re lower than ever.

4. A good credit score is important, sure, but it doesn’t need to be close to 850. Some loans will take a credit score as low as 500!

And that’s not even all of the myths. Want to see the rest of them? Click the link in my bio to get the guide!

Tax season just got exciting! 💰🏡 Did you know your tax refund could be the first step toward your down payment dream? That’s right, instead of splurging on a fleeting fancy, consider transforming that refund into a long-term investment—your very own home. Here’s how:

🔸 Boost Your Down Payment: Every dollar adds up. Your refund can significantly reduce your mortgage rate and monthly payments.

🔸 Cover Closing Costs: Often overlooked, these can eat up a chunk of your budget. Your refund can help smooth the way.

🔸 Improve Your Credit Score: Pay down debt to improve your loan terms. Lower debt means better rates.

🔸 Save Towards Future Home Expenses: Set aside part of your refund for those unexpected home needs. It’s always smart to be prepared.

Thinking of using your tax refund for a down payment? 💡🏡 If you’re ready to make that move, just comment ‘YES’ below! Let’s transform your refund into your dream home. Your journey begins with one word. Ready? 🗝️✨

Buying a home is great for your financial future, it’s true. But that’s only one part of the story! There’s so much to becoming a homeowner that we honestly don’t talk about enough. Here’s 4 reasons why you’ll want to consider owning a house.

1. Creativity: You can make your new home yours and customize it however you’d like. Teal walls in the living room? Go for it. New backsplash in the kitchen? Have at it!

2. Security and stability. When you own your home, you have such greater stability without having to worry about rent hikes or your landlord selling.

3. Being a part of the community. Unlike renting, where tenants come and go like the wind, you’ll become invested in your community as a homeowner. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of belonging to a community.

4. Freedom! It’s your house, so you can have as many pets as you want, have visitors for as long as you’d like and you won’t have to worry about any of those having bizarre restrictions that come with renting.

While becoming a homeowner is great for your finances, it really impacts every aspect of your life and will give you the freedom and stability you need to live your best life.

Wondering if you should wait for mortgage rates to drop before making your move?

🤔 Let’s break it down in real talk:

✔️ Savings vs. Reality: A small rate drop could save you on monthly payments, but a surge in buyer competition could spike prices.

✔️ Now vs. Later: Lower rates mean more buyers and fiercer bidding wars. Your dream home could slip through your fingers as demand outstrips supply.

✔️ The Strategy: If you’re financially ready, consider buying now to avoid the rush. Less competition could mean a better deal!

✔️ Preparation is Key: Work on your finances and explore the market. Being prepared means you can strike when the time (and rate) is right.

Don’t let the rate game dictate your home-buying journey. Sometimes, the best time is now. Interested? Just comment ‘START’ below, and let’s embark on this exciting journey together. Your new home awaits!
