You’ve been scrolling homes for months, and BOOM, there it is! The home you know is destined to be yours. Now, what? ⁣
⁣
It’s time to build an offer the sellers can’t refuse — and in this market, that’s exactly what you’re going to need! To help, here are some tips to get your seller's attention and build an offer that's sure to stand out:⁣
⁣
📌Get pre-approved. Unless you’re making an all-cash offer, you must, must, must include a pre-approval letter for a loan. If you haven’t yet, start that process ASAP.⁣
📌Set your purchase price in line with your agent’s recommendation. In this market, low-ball offers will simply be ignored and set aside.⁣
Keep contingencies to a minimum. And consider waiving as many as you can to seal the deal.⁣
📌Bump up your earnest money and be willing to close quickly. If your seller is anxious to get moving, an offer with a short closing window will jump to the head of the pack.⁣
📌Look for ways to subtly connect with the seller. Do your homework about the market and the seller and give your agent permission to share bits and pieces of your story too. ⁣
⁣
If buying is on your future to-do list, I’d love to connect with you. Don’t wait. 📩Send me a DM today and let’s find your next home. ⁣

If you're considering purchasing a home anytime soon, here are some great questions to ask yourself before house hunting!
⁣
❓ Where do I want to be in five years?⁣
❓ What are my must-haves?⁣
❓ How close do I want to live to work? School? City life? Parks?⁣
❓ Do I want a fixer-upper or move-in ready?⁣
❓ Do I have children or pets that would like a yard?⁣
❓ Am I ok to park my car on the street side or do I want a garage?⁣
❓ What do I want to see when I open my front door?⁣
❓ How well do I want to know my neighbors?⁣
⁣
I love helping buyers clarify what they're looking for — and I'd be thrilled to do the same for you!

Are you selling your home right now? If you are, you’ll want to stop scrolling for this post!⁠

Here are the 4 things you want to AVOID when selling your home:⁠
⁠
➡️ Overpricing your home. Sellers often believe (mistakenly) that this is a good way to make extra profit on their home, but you risk being too pricey for your area and not being able to sell your home.⁠
⁠
➡️ FSBO. If you take anything away from this post, know that FSBO is not the way to go! Every real estate agent will advise you against going FSBO. Using the expertise of a real estate agent will save you time, money, and a huge headache.⁠
⁠
➡️ Doing marketing without research or professional help. Marketing is everything these days since most homebuyers start their search online.⁠
⁠
➡️ Poor photography of your home. Related to the point above, you want to make sure you take photos that highlight your home in the best light and get potential buyers through the door!⁠
⁠

Maxing out your home buying budget can be tempting, especially after pre-approval, but it can also cause plenty of financial risk down the road. Make sure you keep some reserves set aside for home maintenance and unexpected repairs, and leave yourself enough room for other financial goals… like furniture shopping and vacations!

For many people, a house is the biggest purchase of their life, which means you should ask a lot of questions about what you're getting before you make an offer.
Here are questions every homebuyer should ask⬇️

🐰Wishing you sunshine, good times, and a very happy Easter! 🥚🐇

🏠Wondering your property type persona? Wonder no more!⁣
⁣
🔹SINGLE FAMILY: You’d like a yard, want plenty of square footage, don’t care to share walls or walks, and would love to see some serious appreciation.⁣

🔹FARM or RANCH: “Give me a home where the buffalo roam,” you say. You’re looking for acreage, a rocking chair front porch, a barn out back, and plenty of space to park your truck (and maybe a tractor).⁣

🔹CONDO or TOWNHOME: You’re ready to buy, but not ready for the upkeep or size of a single-family home. Plus, you’d love to live in a city center steps away from the lively urban activity, and you're a-okay with a hefty HOA so long as it covers landscaping and major repairs.⁣

🔹WATERFRONT: Nothing less than the waterfront will do. Whether it's a lake, ocean, pond, or inlet, you just want the lap of water ringing in the background morning, noon, and night. No water in sight? It’s a definite no-go.⁣
⁣

FAQ: What are the hidden costs of buying & owning a home?⁣
⁣
Great question! While these are estimates, they will give you a good idea of what to expect:⁣
⁣
• One-time closing costs.
• Annual home maintenance costs: 1% of your home’s value.⁣
• Monthly utilities: 10% of your gross monthly income.⁣
• Annual property taxes: 0.5-2% of your home’s value.⁣
• Annual homeowners insurance: 2% of your home’s value.⁣
⁣
*Property taxes and homeowners premiums will typically be added to your monthly mortgage payment. Keep this in mind as you play around with mortgage calculators — some account for taxes and insurance; others do not. ⁣

Did you know there’s actually a well-guarded secret for making everyone happy? Yep, it’s called being an offer above the asking price. There — the secret’s out!

Time for a pretty tough game of 'would you rather.' Would you rather...⁠
➡️ Have your mortgage paid off in full⁠
or⁠
➡️ Have an unlimited budget for interior design⁠
And why?⁠

Moving with pets can add an extra challenge, but one that is definitely worth it for your fur baby!⁠
⁠
Here are a few tips and tricks to make moving with your pet easy and comfortable for everyone:⁠
⁠
🐾 Make arrangements for moving day. That might mean putting your pet in a pet daycare for a couple of days or having a friend or family member transport your pet to your new home.⁠
⁠
🐾 Get a check-up. You want to make sure that your pet has good health!⁠
⁠
🐾 Stick to a schedule. Rushing may cause your pet to get stressed and you may also forget some steps in the process! Schedule out your day so you always know what comes next.⁠
⁠
🐾 Create a safe space for them to settle in. Moving day can be a stressful day for a pet because of all the commotion and also moving into a brand new place. Make them feel at home by putting all their favorite blankets and toys in a spot in your new home.⁠
⁠
Do you have any other tips you’ve found that helped your pet(s) as you moved?⁠

Hey you, it’s a new month again. May your new month be filled with laughter and happiness extending to all the months to come!
