Today we were able to assist this amazing couple in not only buying their first home, but building it! Kelly and I have known each other since high school but hadn’t seen each other in many years, so I was ecstatic when she reached out. We got to reconnect and I got to know her wonderful husband, Stephen, along the way.

They started this process with us almost a year ago, not knowing if they wanted a house they could fix up, but ultimately decided to build so that they could have more of a say in the overall look to help turn this house into a home.

Now I know what you’re thinking, the building process is a piece of cake, but that’s not always the case (especially not in the crazy market that we are seeing in AND the many building material shortages). But, this couple faced any and all obstacles thrown their way and handled it in a fashion that I could say is better than I would have!

We are so thankful that you all trusted us with this process & we can’t wait to watch you continue to turn this house into a home! And also thank you to for finding a way to make things right when we encountered a few hiccups along the way.

Cheers & congrats!

🏡 MONTHLY MARKET UPDATE • June 2021 stats are in! .... but what do these numbers mean?? Keep reading 👇🏻

What you’re looking at is an extreme seller’s market - HIGH demand for houses but LOW supply of people selling their house. There is less than a month of inventory (to put things in perspective, a balanced/equal market would be about 6 months of inventory).

We know this is daunting for buyers BUT the positive in all this is interest rates are at such a great rate right now!

Yes, it’s a hustle out there for buyers (we feel for you) but that’s why we’re here! To be in your corner, go to bat for you, and bring strategies that win offers!

If you’re toying with the idea of selling your home, now is the time! If you’re wanting to sell and still want to live in Raleigh (or its surrounding areas) but are worried you won’t find a place to move because of the demand - don’t fret! There are strategies and options we’d love to lay out for y’all! Coffee and checklists in hand!

☕️ DM us if you’d like a Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) on your home to see what your potential net would be if you sold right now - no strings attached!

SURVEY SAYS: Homeownership has major financial benefits 💵

A recent survey by Fannie Mae revealed the 4 most highly rated benefits of homeownership according to consumers.

1. 88% - A better chance of saving for retirement
2. 87% - Homeownership is the best investment plan
3. 85% - The chance to be better off financially
4. 85% - The chance to build wealth

In short, homeownership is a method of forced savings!

When you rent, you're building wealth for someone else (because you're paying off their mortgage). When you own a home, you're building wealth for yourself through equity. So let's help you save for retirement, invest to be better off financially and build wealth!

Comment below and tell us your best benefit of ownership!

What do we love more than our clients? When our clients trust us enough to pass along our information to their friends and families. That referral and trust is what our business is founded on. We strive to give each client the best and most thoughtful experience so that they can feel confident in trusting their close friends and families with us as well.

You guessed it! That was the case with this amazing family that closed today! Last year we helped Alison and Brian both buy and sell and this year we had the pleasure in assisting Alison's mom (and of course Alison and Brian!)!

Congrats again and thank you all for your continued trust and support!

Here's the problem with the real estate industry:

Agents are often treated like a fluffy extra when selling your home rather than an asset who can help you make the most money possible from your home sale.

We tend to be the first to go when you think about cutting expenses or netting more money. 💵
I've always felt frustrated (and saddened on those seller's behalf) by the lack of knowledge about what it is a GOOD agent actually does for you.

I see the comments floating around in Facebook group threads and on Instagram - "I knew you could get the price you wanted! We are going to try selling on our own this Summer too. Why not when there is so much demand?"

Here's the truth: The demand for houses right now, would not exist without real estate agents. We are the ones driving up that demand, getting you 37 showings you wouldn't have without us, analyzing the offers (that are truly a foreign language to read through if you're not a professional).

You wouldn't have someone taking that accepted offer and making sure you're not leaving any money on the table from that point until closing.

We are not just here to give you some advice and see what happens.. Do you think our only job as an expert is to tell you to paint your walls white, take down the ugly drapes and rearrange your furniture - not even close. We didn't flip or decorate one house and decide we were qualified to help you buy or sell your home. We dedicate our lives to this.

If you decide to forgo hiring a professional to help you sell your largest asset and you come out on the other side feeling successful - even that is subjective because you have no idea how much money you could be leaving on the table from your lack of expertise.

Moral of the story - before you write off a real estate agent as a shiny extra, find a damn good one and see how they can help you. Smart people hire experts to handle their largest assets, not themselves.

The photo says it all! This beautiful condo located near downtown Raleigh, The Village District, and Five Points is SOLD! Congratulations to our seller and to the lucky buyer who gets to enjoy this great home. 🥳

Congratulations to our sellers, and on closing on their previous home, not only for over list price, but $91,000 OVER list price with MANY offers. Added bonus is they closed just in time to celebrate Drew’s birthday! 🥳🥂🍾 We’ll miss you guys being in Raleigh, but couldn’t be more excited for you and your family.

To put it simply- this one is worth celebrating! Congratulations to and David on purchasing this beautiful new build. Enjoy cooking dinner in that beautiful kitchen- especially with all the extra time you’ll save on your work commute! Home cooked dinner every night? 😂😉

With lumber prices skyrocketing and other material shortages, new build home prices continue to rise at a rapid pace leading to instant equity. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thinking about buying? There is no better time than NOW!

FEBRUARY MARKET UPDATE

Q: Is the real estate market heading in the same direction as 2006-2008? A: While I can’t predict the future, I do spend a lot of time researching the market and seeing what economists are predicting.

One thing to keep in mind is that our current market is drastically different from our market in 2006-2008. We have an extremely low supply of inventory in the majority of the country (meaning there are more buyers looking for homes than there are homes for sale) which has driven up home prices.

Secondly, homeowners have a substantial amount of equity.

I pulled this from the Homeowner Equity Report on CoreLogic’s website: “In the third quarter of 2020, the average homeowner gained approximately $17,000 in equity during the past year. This marks the largest average equity gain since the first quarter of 2014.” This creates peace of mind for anyone who may need to sell (in the fact that it's not likely many sellers are underwater on their mortgage).

There are also higher standards for loan qualification today than there were in 2006-2008.

Lastly, there are a lot of buyers on the market right now who want to take advantage of our historically low interest rates.

I want to help my clients to make smart real estate decisions so with all the madness in the market and the “headlines” out there that might scare people into thinking we’re heading into another housing bubble, I thought it would be helpful to share these details.

If you’re considering leveraging the equity in your home while also taking advantage of low interest rates, let’s chat! I can put together an equity analysis based on your home’s current market value vs what you owe and we can take a look to see if now is a good time for you to make a move!
