….or they spelled my name wrong so I’ve gotten ZERO updates. This must be how my TC feels when she isn’t copied in on things @lullysuv 😅 Communication is key people 🔑

I didn’t want to get into Real Estate because I’m not “sale-sy” 🙅🏻‍♀️ I felt like Real Estate agents were thrown into the same category of car salesmen. I was worried people would avoid me like the plague. So I took a •w i l d• approach of NOT doing the things everyone suggest when jumping into Real Estate (door knocking, cold calling, pushing real estate on anyone and everyone). Instead, I came from a place of genuinely wanting to help others, specifically those trying to utilize their VA loan. I stayed true to who I am, never changed my personality, and used the knowledge I had gained to teach others. I know so many people interested in Real Estate but are held back by the same fear of having to be a “sales person”, but I can promise you, if you have a genuine purpose behind your WHY and stay true to who you are, you’ll do just fine 😉 Or stare at people. I mean, whatever works 😂 Happy Monday!!

🔈PSA! Everyone talks about how important it is to choose the right Selling Agent, but it’s JUST as important to make sure you have a knowledgeable BUYERS agent. I’ve •literally• had to explain contracts to the opposite party before and I’m always left wondering how their clients trust them to handle such a huge transaction when they don’t understand the contracts 🤦🏻‍♀️ #whoyouworkwithmatters

Realtors….do I even need to add a caption? IYKYK 😑

When is the best time to buy a home in the PNW?

To everyone who told me it’s impossible to be a stay at home mom AND be successful in real estate….you underestimated my work ethic 😉

What do you do after your listing falls out of escrow due to the buyers failed contingency? Well….what would Sandra do? If you need me I’ll just be over here manifesting the PERFECT buyers for my Port Orchard listing 💃🏻….Oh yah, & re-marketing, making calls….normal realtor stuff 🤪

Honestly, I love when the neighbors visit the Open House. They always have the best intel 👀☕️

Sellers, let’s talk pricing 🤑 A few quick tips- consider the new market we’re in! More inventory = more competition. Have your Realtor (me 💁🏻‍♀️) run comps again before listing, because they’re constantly changing. Don’t list at the MAX of what you’re hoping to get- this almost always ends up in price reductions and sitting homes. & finally, consider offering a closing credit so buyers can buy down their rate 📉 This is really appealing to buyers right now as it’ll help them lower their monthly payments 💸 Questions? Happy to help! #kitsaprealtor #sellertips #realtorreels #womeninbusiness #womeninrealestate #portorchard #gigharbor #silverdale

BUYERS- we are in “the shift”!! Your long string of very bad luck is going to change (put it out into the universe 🌎) Interest rates are rising, which means we’re seeing less competition. There is more inventory 🙌🏼 This also means homes are staying on market longer and there’s room for more negotiation (like home contingencies, and you can actually have an inspection now 🤯) Even with rising interest rates, they are still historically LOW. We don’t know how long this will last so take advantage now! 📈 SELLERS- It’s time to readjust. Price point and presentation are everything. It’s likely you’ll have fewer buyers and more days on market, but you still have insane equity 💰 There are still a LOT of strong buyers out there looking for a home 🏡 So let’s get it listed!! #kitsaprealtor #portorchard #silverdale #gigharbor #bremerton #realestate #realtorreels #goodluck #buyers #sellers #interestrates #contingencies

Out of State Peeps- this is for you!
