How much house can I afford? It's a question we've all wondered.

There's a simple formula to help you understand how much debt you can take on when hunting for a home.

Meet my friend: Debt-to-income (DTI).

Swipe for how to calculate it for yourself!

This calculation is part of my 90 Days to Homeowner Challenge. If you're thinking about homeownership, grab my free guide which covers DTI and everything else you need to know about purchasing a home!

Curious how we agents stay on top of our real estate game? Here's a peek behind the scenes:

• Continuing education courses: I'm always signing up to learn about the latest trends, legal updates, and market intel, both locally and nationwide.

• Conferences and webinars: Engaging with industry experts at conferences and webinars keeps me in the know and helps me build a robust network of agents. What does that mean for you? Wherever your real estate journey takes you, I've got connections you can rely on.

• Books and publications: Diving into classic books on real estate helps me learn from industry icons and trailblazers who paved the path before me.

•Podcasts, audiobooks, and videos: Learning on the go? You bet! This trio is my constant companion during downtime and commutes.

Here's the thing: Real estate isn't a 'one-and-done' profession.

So when you're choosing an agent, look for a commitment to continuous learning. If they've only done the bare minimum to keep their license, it’s best to move on.

90 days left in 2023 – and a world of possibilities, including you holding the keys to your new home!

If you're thinking the ship has sailed on your 2023 homeownership dreams, good news — there's still time!

But only 90 days, to be exact.

So if you're motivated to make buying a house the grand finale of your 2023, I’ve created something specifically for you.

From assessing finances to considering future plans, we’ll determine if becoming a homeowner is the right move for you.

Curious about what the 90-days to homeowner journey has in store?

Comment “90 days” and I’ll send you my free value-packed guide.

Together we’ll determine if purchasing a home is right for you (PLUS we’ll cover everything you need to know about the home buying journey from start to finish).

Selling soon? You’ll FALL in love with the advantages!

• Less competition - Fewer homes on the market = Your home stands out from the rest.

• Serious buyers - Fall tends to attract more serious buyers, motivated to settle in before the holidays and colder months.

• Year-end tax benefits - Buyers are usually eager to purchase before year-end to maximize tax benefits.

• Relocations - Many companies relocate employees before the year’s end, bringing a fresh pool of potential buyers.

• Warm and inviting ambiance - Changing leaves, cooling temps, and pumpkin spice everything create a cozy setting for showcasing your home in its best light.

Want to chat more about getting your home listed to sell? Message me, and I'll be in touch!

Are you hoping to cozy up in a new home by the time the leaves start changing color? The process of buying a house takes a little bit of time, so if your goal is to move this fall, the time to begin your journey is now!

Here's a snapshot of what to expect from the home-buying process:

Step 1: Pre-Approval | 1-2 Days
Before embarking on your home search, getting pre-approved for a mortgage is a crucial first step. This process typically takes between 1-2 days, assuming no credit repairs or additional income verifications are required. Pre-approval not only solidifies your budget but also makes you a more attractive buyer when you're ready to make an offer.

Step 2: Home Search | 3-4 Weeks
Every home search is unique, and the timeline can vary based on market conditions and your specific needs. However, most buyers generally find their dream home within a month. This step also includes exploring different neighborhoods, attending open houses, and refining your list of must-haves.

Step 3: Closing The Deal | 1 Month
Once your offer is accepted, the final steps include home inspection, appraisal, finalizing your loan, and closing. This part of the process usually takes around 30 days. Then, the keys are yours!

Keep in mind that this is a general guideline, and the timeline might shift based on various factors. My role is to guide you through each step, ensuring your home-buying journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Tired of battling it out with hordes of buyers for the same properties? I've got an insider's secret for you: off-market properties.

Off-market homes are listings that are sold every month without ever hitting active status on the MLS. They’re only advertised by word of mouth or by tapping into the extensive network of an agent like myself.

In our fast-paced, low-inventory market, off-market properties can be key to you gaining an edge. Plus, they often come with added perks, like cost savings on commissions and a chance to bypass the competition.

If you know what you’re looking for in your next home, I’d love to keep my eyes and ears out for an off-market property that checks your boxes! Just DM me, and as soon as I hear something, you’ll be the first to know.
