Got 8 seconds? 🕑 That’s all it takes, on average, for buyers to decide if they’re interested in a house! So when we say ‘make a good first impression,’ we mean it. Let’s make those 8 seconds count! 🏠💫

🥂 This week’s Wine Wednesday 🥂 Facebook Live at 7pm on OCTOBER 4

Next up in our Buying a Home series: the "Christmas Tree effect" - or - why you shouldn't buy a home purely on emotional reaction. I know, it's hard. You walk in the door and you know immediately where the Christmas Tree will go. It's "the one"! I see this all the time! We'll chat about why it's a good idea to still weigh all the pros and cons to make sure the home is the right fit for you for the long term.

Now an empty nester, my client decided she was ready to move on to a new spot, and I was thrilled to help her find this gorgeous property close to family.

Open House Time? 🏡⏰ While potential buyers are exploring your home, why not turn it into a fun adventure for you too? Here are some fabulous ideas:

1️⃣ Explore your neighborhood like a tourist. Visit that local café ☕ you’ve always wanted to try, or take a stroll in your local park. You might discover some new favorite spots!

2️⃣ Relaxation session. Book a spa appointment or enjoy a yoga class. It’s not just the buyers who should be stress-free!

3️⃣ Beach day! Spend the day at the beach catching some sun rays and relaxing. You can do this one if you have kids and any dogs

4️⃣ Go on a hike. For a short period of showings, you can sneak out and go on a hike in your local trails

Remember, an open house is not just an opportunity for buyers to discover your home, but also a chance for you to enjoy a well-deserved break. Happy Selling!

Facebook Live at 7pm on SEPTEMBER 27!

This week we continue our series on Buying a Home by discussing "must haves". You know, things like a coffee station, more bedrooms, a flex space... things that you simply NEED in a new home. We'll chat about what's REALLY needed and what to do if you find a home you love that needs some creative thinking.

Ready to rock your home search without breaking the bank? Let’s dive into these essential money-saving strategies:

1️⃣ Know What You Can Afford: Before falling head over heels for a home, crunch those numbers and determine a realistic budget. Consider factors like your income, monthly expenses, and future financial goals.

2️⃣ Credit Score Check: Your credit score can play a big role in securing a favorable mortgage rate. Take a peek at your credit report, address any issues, and work on improving your score if needed. Your wallet will thank you!

3️⃣ Save for Extra Expenses: Homeownership comes with additional costs beyond the down payment. Save up for closing costs, inspections, moving expenses, and unforeseen repairs. Being prepared financially ensures a smoother journey.

With these money-savvy moves in your toolkit, you’ll be well-equipped to conquer the house hunt with confidence and keep your wallet happy along the way! 🏡💸

✨ Let’s face it, saving for a down payment can feel like a daunting task, but fear not! I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to help you reach your homeownership goals faster than ever.

🗝 One of the best ways is to make saving automatic

Set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to a special savings account earmarked for your down payment. Schedule it for right after payday, so the money goes directly to savings without ever passing “Go.” It’s a simple step, but it’s a game-changer when it comes to hassle-free saving!
