Home Sales. Home Tips. Home Games...nothing better!

The excitement in the air, the familiarity of the stadium, the nearness to home...it's an atmosphere you can only experience when you've found a team you're devoted to.

Like your favorite football team, your excitement when it comes to buying and selling your house grows when you surround yourself with a great home team.

Your agent is like your coach with the winning game plan.

Your lender is like the special teams coach, specializing in financing your home purchase.

Your friends and family are like the fans in the stands... Some may say they aren't important but their cheering (and jeering) impact the game!

Assembling a home team you love and trust is essential in any successful transaction. Our goal is to get you to the endzone (closing day!) with a trophy (your keys!) in hand!

Not tryin' to throw shade but...some agents are grossly overpaid.

*holds for applause* 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

There, I said it. Some agents are getting paid a hefty percentage and they're doing the BARE MINIMUM for their clients. Maybe the transaction gets closed, but more and more clients are left feeling like they were taken advantage of and the amount of money they paid their agent actually makes them feel sick. 🤢

I see this all the time and I think (in my early 2000's infomercial voice), "there's gotta be a better way!" 🤔

The bare minimum is something nearly anyone can do with a quick google search. This is why I go the extra mile (and sometimes ten) for my clients. Because I'm more than a "sign here" agent...I'm an agent who understands the ins and outs of each contract, recognizes red flags in transactions, I'm a queen negotiator, and so much more. 👸🏼🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Every transaction is different. Every client is different. Which is why I strive for each of my clients to experience The Modern Agent Difference (see last page)

The truth is, I work really hard for each of my clients to make the whole process as light and seamless as possible and I do things for them that Google can't do.

My goal at the end of the day is for you not only to feel like you didn't overpay me, but that you think to yourself, "she did ALL that and I only had to pay her THIS much?!"

And maybe, "I should buy her a bottle of wine, too!" HA I kid, I kid. 🩷

August slipped away into a moment in time...and it's already September!

Have you ever noticed how the last couple of months of the year end with BER? And they're some of the *best* months!

SeptemBER - Fall starts, pumpkin takes over everything, football commences, sweaters come out, chili gets made, there's so much to love about September.

Then we have OctoBER (Halloween, Fall movies, more pumpkins), NovemBER (Thanksgiving, hunting season, Black Friday, holiday shopping), and finally DecemBER (Ho Ho HOLIDAYS)!

ANYWAYS - Back to my reason for today's post, your first BER month homeowner checklist. Time for a fall refresh!

🍃 Clean the gutters
🌳 Give Summer lawn tools a good tune up
🛢 Change the oil in the lawnmower
🔧 Service your HVAC system (there isn't a good emoji for this, sorry)!
👩‍🚒 Inspect fire extinguisher
🧹 Sweep the garage and wipe dirt from garage door tracks
🏠 Inspect the chimney for loose flashing or missing mortar
⛏ Split firewood to a size that will fit in your fireplace
🐞 Stack wood away from the house to prevent bugs
💦 Make sure windows are sealed tight
🌻 Plant mums or sunflowers in pots by the front porch
🍁 Stock up on your favorite fall candle scents
✏️ Set up a homework station

And remember, if you want the entire year's worth of homeowner checklists, I've got you covered! DM me the word Homeowner and I'll send you a copy you can hang on your fridge!

I've just returned from the 2023 Tom Ferry Success Summit in and, WOW, what an enlightening experience.

For those unfamiliar, Tom Ferry is a beacon of knowledge in the real estate universe, and his annual summit is nothing short of spectacular. 💫

Here are my top golden nuggets from the event:

1️⃣ Adaptability is the New Superpower: In an ever-changing real estate landscape, the ability to pivot and adapt to new situations is essential. We delved deep into leveraging technology (with a HUGE emphasis on AI - ask me about my prompt game⚡️) and understanding market fluctuations, ensuring we always stay ahead of the curve. 🔄

2️⃣ Connection > Transaction: One of the most powerful messages was the reminder that we're not just in the business of houses; we're in the business of people. Building and nurturing relationships is the cornerstone of a sustainable and thriving business. It's about trust, genuine connection, and understanding the stories behind every home search or sale. We are erasing the term "past clients" from our vocabulary. ❤️

3️⃣ Mindset Mastery: Success in real estate isn't just about the strategies and tools; it's about the mindset. We had in-depth sessions on maintaining positivity, overcoming challenges, and cultivating resilience. With the right mindset, we're unstoppable. 🧠✨

4️⃣ Become the Knowledge Broker: Our role has evolved into being educators, consultants, and trusted advisors. Tom emphasized the importance of deeply understanding market trends, neighborhood intricacies, and the unique narratives of our communities. By equipping ourselves with this knowledge, we not only guide clients through their real estate journey, but also empower them to make informed decisions. 💡

I'm immensely grateful for this experience and the ecosystem that I'm a part of. Let's keep pushing boundaries, learning, and supporting one another in our journey! 🌟

PS - Texas BBQ did NOT disappoint! 😋

When one door closes...another opens! 🚪💫

Let's be honest - an accepted offer is just the beginning! Sometimes negotiations don't go as planned, and you're back on the hunt trying to find a home you love just as much 💔

I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason, so while our first transaction may not have gone as planned, a mere three days later we are back under contract with a home that has exceeded their expectations! 🙌🏻 🥳

Congratulations to my buyers (again)!

Deep breaths, everyone!

I put together a little overview of buying and selling at the same time (Want more than a quick summary? Keep reading!)

It's no secret that buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but it doesn't mean it's impossible!

There are a few key questions you need to ask yourself (and your lender!) so you can gain clarity and put a plan in motion!

First, do you really HAVE to sell before you buy? Sure, it may be the most comfortable option, but it's always worth drafting the pro's and con's of possibly carrying two mortgages for a while.

Talk to your lender about this...lender's aren't all facts and numbers. Good lenders try to get creative to find solutions for you!

Don't need to sell before you buy? Great! You'll want to meet with your agent and begin your home search!

Have to sell before you buy? Don't sweat it! I help clients do this all the time!

Your options are 1) to start house hunting AFTER you close on your home and live somewhere temporarily in the meantime. Lots of clients either find a month-to-month rental or live with family for a bit. Or you could 2) List your home and start house hunting, making any offers contingent on the sale of your home!

Lots of sellers are ok with this if they know you're serious about moving, your house is already listed (and has been prepped for sale!), and/or is already pending!

Navigating a double move can feel like a tricky riddle to solve, but if everyone stays patient and flexible, it can be done.

Want a deep dive on the process of a double move? DM me MOVE UP BUYER and I'll send you my FREE Move Up Buyer Checklist!

Math every future homeowner needs to know!

Today, I'm spilling the tea on all the numbers you need to know for your next big purchase. Let's crunch those numbers together!

But first, pre-approval! Connect with a lender who will look at your debt, income, and credit score and determine how much you'll need to put down and what your budget is. It's a quick process, but these numbers are vital for your home-buying journey.

Next, let's talk money! Here are the key figures you should think about:

💵 Down Payment: Forget the old 20% rule! In this market, it's not uncommon to buy with just 3.5% down. Early conversations with your lender are key!

🔍 Home Inspection: Budget around $400-500 for peace of mind.

💰 Earnest Money: Set aside 1-3% of the purchase price. Your agent will guide you on the exact amount!

📊 Appraisal: Plan for approximately $500.

💵 Closing Costs: These vary, but some of the items mentioned above are part of it. Your lender will give you a clearer picture.

🏡 Taxes & Homeowner's Insurance: Smooth out those payments by rolling them into your monthly installments.

Pro tip: Don't max out your budget! I encourage buyers to look slightly under their max amount. Your home should empower the life you want, not leave you stretched too thin. Balance is key!

Bonus tip: Before making an offer, ask sellers for an estimate of monthly utilities. That way, you'll have wiggle room to spend and save while enjoying your new home! 💡💲

So get your calculators ready, future homeowners! Let's make those numbers work for you. Have more questions or need help connecting with a trusted lender? DM me the word MATH and I'll help you get started!

What, like it's hard? 👩‍🎓🩷

Thinking about buying your first home? There are 3 key things you need to know before diving into the exciting world of homeownership 💁‍♀️✨

1️⃣ Own your budget like Elle owns her signature color! 💸💖 Before you start house hunting, set a realistic budget with your lender that suits your financial goals and lifestyle.

2️⃣ Elle Woods wouldn't tackle a case without studying every detail, and you shouldn't dive into homeownership without doing your homework either. Understand the market trends, explore different neighborhoods, and gather information about the home buying process. I help my clients get a head start by sending them my free Future Homeowner's Club guide (Want a copy? Comment "FUTURE HOMEOWNER" below!)

3️⃣ Get an awesome real estate agent on your team. Finding the right agent is crucial in navigating the home buying journey. Look for someone who understands your needs, communicates effectively, and works tirelessly to find your dream home.

With me as your agent, you can defy any possible stereotype and prove yourself capable of homeownership, just like Elle proved she belonged at law school!

P.S. Don't forget to comment FUTURE HOMEOWNER for your free Future Homeowner's Club guide!

When the transaction goes✨SO✨ smooth, you close earlier than expected!

Big shoutout to Jammie Trapp of RE/MAX Preferred and Fidelity Land Title in Jefferson, WI for making this transaction a total breeze 😎

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! 💪🏼

Imagine with me...you’re waking up on the one month anniversary of you buying your new home…

There are still a few boxes in the garage left to unpack, but your home feels so cozy already.

You pour yourself a cup of coffee and sit on the back patio and watch the geese fly overhead, and you think to yourself, "How did I get to be so lucky?"

Now, friend, let's rewind a few months so I can remind you, none of this has to do with luck.

You did your homework, you took all the right steps, and that's what led you to this place.

You saved your money, you reached out to an agent and a lender you trusted, and you were patient, waiting for the right house at the right time.

It probably felt so far away from you then, this reality of waking up in the home you love, but you made it happen!

Maybe you're on the other side of the dreaming phase and you're already in the home you worked so hard for. I hope you spend your days in that home enjoying everything about it.

But maybe you're on this side of that picture...still waiting, still wondering, still doubting owning a home you love could be a reality for you.

That's where I come in! My job isn't just to read contracts and open doors...my job is to show you what's possible when you play the rules of the house hunting game.

I'm here to coach you, to guide you, and most importantly, to LISTEN to what matters to you so that you, too, can wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and look around and remember, "I made this happen!"

Your girl has been a busy 🐝 this week!

Huge congratulations to my buyers on getting their offer accepted on this cute mid-century in the Falls! I'm so excited to see how they're going to make it their own - it's such a gem! 🤩

Looking to find your dream home too? Give me a call, and we can find the perfect place just for you 🫵🏼! 📲 262.444.0911

Please join me in congratulating my buyers on the acceptance of their offer on this ✨ADORABLE✨ home in New Berlin!

Persistence pays off in this market, and I'm here for you every step of the way! Now off to closing! 💪🏼

Welcome to Home Seller School! Today I'm teaching you the 3 major steps of the Home Selling process so you can ace your next listing like a pro!

First, you'll need to team up with your agent (It's me, hi!) Step one is all about finding an agent to serve you as both a teacher and a coach. Together, I'll teach you everything about the selling process and we'll create a personalized game plan so you can walk out of closing victorious! 🤝

Next, it's time to prep for selling success! While we usually aim for straight A's, this time we'll settle for 3 D's: declutter, depersonalize, and deep clean. 🧹

We declutter to give your home a spacious and cozy vibe. We depersonalize so buyers can envision themselves living there without distractions. And we deep clean to show that your home has been well cared for.

Now it's time for my personal favorite: your marketing plan. We kick things off with professional photos (because blurry bathroom selfies just won't cut it) and an irresistible description in the MLS. Then we'll make sure your listing reaches a wide audience through the MLS, social media, and other techniques customized just for your listing. With all eyes on your home, it won't be long until we have it under contract.

Once the marketing magic is in motion, I'll handle negotiations with you, covering all the important terms and ensuring your best interests are represented. And when closing day arrives, it's time to celebrate because you aced Home Seller School with honors! 👩‍🏫

Thank you Bridget Wegner for bringing new listings to the market in July!

My motto for Q3.

Did you know I keep a note in my Notes App called Quotes?

Whenever I hear a good one that resonates with me, I open the app and jot it down so I don’t forget it!

Have any good quotes I should add? Comment below! 🤩

We all know what kind of red flags to watch for when hiring someone, but what about signs you've picked the right person?

Here are 5 Modern Agent Green Flags just for you:

1. Clear communicator. You have the right agent for you when they give you thorough answers to your questions. You also want an agent that tells you the best way to contact them and when they typically respond to messages.

2. They are knowledgeable about their local market. They know beyond what's sold recently and what home prices are. A great agent also has relationships with local lenders and other agents. They're familiar with upcoming neighborhoods and businesses. They also spend time serving local organizations. Again, the key here is they value relationships in their community.

3. Great agents leverage social media to promote your listing. They also create relationships (there's that word again!) with other agents who may be listing what you're looking for in a home.

4. They have a good reputation in town. And not just with past clients, but with other agents, too. You want the kind of agent other agents get excited to work with.

5. You feel like you know them before you even begin working with them. Take the time to get to know them both online and in person. This will make it easier for you to ask questions and receive feedback, especially if you find it difficult to work with someone you don't know well.

This post is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S! 🍌 🍌 🍌

In the spirit of summer, let's think about styling a room like a designer just like we would create an amazing banana split. 🍌

First, declutter. Just like the first step to making a banana split is to start with a clean boat dish, when designing a room, it's best to start with a clean slate. Declutter as much as possible, letting go of obvious clutter and making a pile of things we aren't sure about that we can reassess later.

Then, it's the most important part of the banana split: the banana! Start with the one thing you love most that just makes the room a room you love. This is typically a larger piece of furniture or a rug, maybe a large art canvas you're obsessed with. It doesn't have to be the largest item in the room, it just has to be the non-negotiable you love the most.

Then, think about your toppings...ice cream, whipped cream, nuts...what elements you need to add to compliment that non-negotiable piece and the style you’re going for? You can create a mood board on an app like Canva...the free version is great, or you can pay $12.99 a month and remove the backgrounds of items, but this will help you see what things will look like together!

Lastly, choose a paint color. This is like the cherry on top. 🍒 Most people get this backwards but the color of the room should just compliment the beauty of the room!

I love this quote by Barry Dixon, "A room should start a conversation before people actually start exchanging words." And that's exactly what designing a space in the right order does.

Alright, I've made you read this caption for long enough, go treat yourself to a banana split already! 🍨🍌
