USEFUL TIP: Don’t Delay Buying to Hit Everything on Your Wishlist ⏳🗒

We’ve always said, your first home does not have to be your forever home. By getting into the real estate market now, even if it’s not everything you imagined, you begin accruing equity, sometimes very quickly, to get you closer to your long-term dream home. If a house has 80% of your wishlist, then go for it! Just be sure to account for the costs associated with borrowing and with selling when calculating equity. Enlist the expertise of your local Nest agent for more details on the market, this strategy, and any impending interest rate cuts!

The last few years have been a boon to outdoor loving homeowners, maximizing the spaces in and around their homes. 🏡 Explore how one couple made this dream a reality through thoughtful space planning and object placement, luxe yet comfortable furnishings, greenery, and a vibrant color palette. 🌿Check out the article in Nest Magazine, here >>> https://www.nestrealty.com/blog/how-to-bring-the-indoors-out/🐦

✨ Our Flock is growing! ✨ Meet our newest Nester Kim Newton! 👋

Kim hails from Staunton, Virginia. She ventured to NYC to study theatre before settling back in the Valley to complete her Master’s degree from Mary Baldwin University. Since 2021, she and her family have made Harrisonburg their home. Kim joined Nest following a career as a teacher and manager for multiple arts and culture organizations, including the American Shakespeare Center and WQSV. Kim’s background as a nonprofit leader and educator translates especially well to a career in real estate, where Kim uses her extensive communication and marketing skills. When she’s not helping Nest clients, Kim is a children’s book author, serves as fundraising manager for Adagio House, and contributes to the local theatre scene as an ensemble member of Eunoia Theatre Company.

We're thrilled she has chosen to fly with us here at Nest!
