Need to sell your house fast? Not a problem, I've helped many clients sell their home quickly (and for top dollar, of course!)⁣
⁣
Here are some tips I give my clients to speed up the selling process: ⁣
⁣
-Major repairs are out but do what you can. Clean, declutter, and focus on curb appeal.⁣
-Price your home just below market value to stir up Buyer buzz.⁣
- Go with the All Cash offer for a quick closing.
-Be flexible on terms and price. Hold firm to your request for a quick closing.⁣
-Hire an agent who has the capacity and know-how to get the deal done.⁣
⁣
Need to sell quickly? I’m ready to help. DM me, and let’s get it done!

It’s cliche advice, but it’s really, really good advice. 👍😃And it’s all wrapped up in one little word (repeated three times, of course): Location, location, location!📍It’s true. Location is the #1 feature to consider when looking for a home. It trumps:⁣
⁣
-Square footage⁣
-Bed/bath count⁣
-Upgrades⁣
-Outdoor living areas⁣
-Neighborhood amenities⁣
⁣
Why? Two reasons: ⁣
⁣
-Because it's huge in determining your home’s value over time. You're likely better off down the road having an average house in a great location than having the best house in a less-in-demand location.⁣
-That 5-digit zip code won’t change. The kitchen? You can change that. Flooring? That too. But the address. Nope! That’s the same forever and always.
⁣
Buying soon and curious to see a handful of locations in our town? DM me! I’d be happy to show you some of our most established neighborhoods and a few that are up-and-coming.

My client: "Should we price it high to see what happens?"⁣
⁣
My answer: I can already tell you what's going to happen...⁣
⁣
You have 3 options when it comes to pricing your home for the market: above, at, or under market value.⁣
⁣
I know pricing it high can be very tempting, but keep in mind there are pros and cons for each option:⁣
⁣
Above market value:⁣
⁣
+ If you have to receive a certain amount for the home⁣
- It will take longer to sell⁣
- The more days it's on the market, the worse it looks to prospects
- The home may not appraise by the buyer's lender, back to negotiations⁣
⁣
At market value:⁣
⁣
+ No appraisal issues⁣
+ Buyers and agents will recognize a fair price⁣
+ Will appear on more relevant buyer searches⁣
⁣
Under market value:⁣
⁣
+ The home will receive high interest and a quick sale⁣
+ You may get a multiple offer scenario, which may include offers higher than asking price⁣
- Risk of having to sell at a lower price than market value⁣

If you'd like to see recent stats on homes like yours just say the word. DM me or give me a call today! I would love to help you set a price to get your home sold! 🔑🏡 💰

This is your reminder that it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed by the home buying process (especially if it's your first time!)⁣
⁣
Once your offer gets accepted on a home, there are a few important deadlines you'll need to know. Since I get asked this question a lot, I wanted to break it down in this post!⁣
⁣
Swipe for a quick rundown of what to expect once you decide it's time to make an offer on a home!⁣
⁣
I know this seems like a lot, but keep in mind that I help people buy and sell homes every day. I'm here to walk you through this process step-by-step!

If you're considering whether it's time to stop renting and purchase a home, I want you to keep in mind that the interest rate on renting is 100%.⁣
⁣
However, renting has its perks. No maintenance costs, no down payment, flexibility to move, no concern about property value. But the truth is your monthly rent payment is just like paying 100% interest month after month after month. ⁣
⁣
When you rent, you are paying a fee month after month, gaining nothing other than a roof over your head.⁣
⁣
When you buy, yes, you’re paying a fee (your mortgage) month after month, but you’re gaining SO much more than just a place to call home. You get:⁣
⁣
- An appreciating investment (existing-home sale prices rose 14.6% in 2021!)⁣
- Increasing equity (every month, the bank owns less of your home, and you own more!)⁣
- Predictable housing costs (a fixed-rate mortgage will never change)⁣
- Advantages come tax time⁣
- Freedom to personalize however you choose⁣
⁣
In almost every situation, it pays to buy vs. rent. Want to talk more and run the numbers? Let’s do it!

Leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll be in touch!

Closed Escrow!! 🔑🏡 Congrats to the M family! 🎉So grateful for the phenomenal teamwork on this one! Thank you 🙌 🙌 We did it! 💪 So happy for our buyer and we wish him many years and wonderful memories in his new home! ❤️

In memory of our fallen heroes. Today and everyday, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. Bless the families of our fallen troops and fill their homes and their lives with strength and peace 🙏🏼🇺🇸

In all your HGTV watching, Pinterest pinning and Instagram scrolling, I’m sure you've done it…I know I have! You daydreamed about your next home and what features you’d be willing to check at the front door and what would be your line in the sand non-negotiables. ⁣
⁣
Now, it’s time to put those thoughts out there for the world to see! Ready? Let’s do it. ⁣
⁣
Besides bed and bath count, what are your 3 must haves in a home? ⁣
⁣
Maybe an in ground swimming pool, hand scraped wood floors, and a walk in master bath shower?⁣
Or could it be high ceilings, a private office, and an out of sight playroom for the kids?⁣
How about several acres, a wrap around front porch or a Next-Gen suite?
⁣
There's no right or wrong..it's simply what works for you! So let’s go! Comment your 3 must-haves in a home below. 👇🏼

This stunning Oceanside home is officially off the market! 🔑 SOLD for $110,000 over list price and closed in 21 days!💥 So happy for my Sellers and grateful for their faith in me to represent them in the sale of their home! 🥳🎉

As always, I want to give a special thanks to ALL those involved in this transaction for none of this would be possible without them! 🙏🏼 😊

Buying a home is a numbers game, but it’s also an emotional game. That’s why from the get-go, I encourage buyers to only consider homes they can confidently afford. ⁣
⁣
Setting aside what lenders say, buyers should take the time to go over various mortgage payments and find the one that fits the best and feels the most comfortable.⁣
⁣
That said, some guidelines can provide a starting point for answering the question: How much home can I afford?⁣
⁣
See what some financial experts say…🤔
⁣
Save this post for later, or share it with anyone you know who has plans to buy this year. And, of course, reach out if I can answer any questions that come up along the way!

They say the kitchen is the heart of a home, but it can also be the headache of the home if it’s not organized and maintained, am I right? That said, I've learned a few things over the years, and I'm pretty sure the key to mastering kitchen org (and kicking those headaches to the curb) is finding a system that makes sense to you! At a loss? Try kitchen “zones.” Read on to learn more!⁣
⁣
Zone 1: Everyday Items⁣
These are the things you use multiple times a day like plates, bowls, cups, flatware, and serveware. Store these pieces close to where you will use them—for example, glasses near the refrigerator and flatware near the dining area.⁣
⁣
Zone 2: Cooking + Baking items⁣
Store pots, pans, measuring cups, cutting boards, and mixing bowls near the stove and oven. Baking sheets and muffin tins can fit vertically near your oven’s thin cabinet.⁣
⁣
Zone 3: Coffee + Bar Items⁣
Zone 3 is my fave! This zone houses essentials for your morning coffee and evening wine. Keep items set apart and easily accessible by designating a particular kitchen cabinet or section of the pantry. ⁣
⁣
Zone 4: Pantry + Storage Items⁣
Zip-close bags, Tupperware, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap should be stored together for easy post-meal clean-up. Keep dry goods, spices, and small kitchen appliances in your pantry, and consider clear containers to keep a handle on when your dry goods are running low.⁣
⁣
One more encouragement about kitchen org: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again! You’ll eventually find a system that works for you!

So happy to open escrow for our happy buyer! 🎉🥳 This gem was on the market for a few weeks… just waiting for the perfect buyer! He got to look at this condo a couple times to really see it’s potential thanks to for showing him a second time to help him decide🙏🏼 We wrote a great offer and got an acceptance for him 💪🏼👊🏼 let’s get to work! 🙌🏼

You’ve got your eye on a location and neighborhood that is PERFECT for your family. Your only hangup? The homes are still under construction. No problem! Turn that hangup into a “Heck ya!” with a few questions to ask before buying new construction: ⁣
⁣
Is the price of the lot included? If it is, ask which lots come with the highest price tag so you can choose the one that’s right for your budget. If it isn’t included, you’ll need to add that expense to the overall cost of your home.⁣
Does the home come with a warranty? What is covered, and how long does it last? A reputable builder should stand behind their work and cover your home for at least the first few years.⁣
How long will construction take? While there are no guarantees, and the process is prone to delays, you should be able to get a general timeline. The average time in the U.S. is seven to eight months.⁣
What comes standard, and what is an upgrade? This is where I see most buyers get into trouble. What they assume is standard...isn't. Ask what finishes and appliances are included in the home’s base price and take detailed notes. If possible, tour the model home and have the sales rep point out standard vs. upgraded finishes.⁣
Is landscaping included? Some builders include landscaping, while others leave the yard totally up to you. Considering it can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 for "from scratch" landscaping, you will definitely want to leave a little space in your budget.⁣
⁣
Whether you buy an existing home or new construction, it’s always a good idea to have a realtor on your team asking any questions you may overlook. Know someone looking to buy or thinking of it yourself? I’d love to help.

And just like that this beauty is SOLD 💥 After 2 days of Open Houses, my Sellers received Multiple Offers and accepted a offer well over list price! 💰It was my first LA listing! 🌴 I met so many awesome Agents and it was a great experience working in a different market. I am so happy for my sweet Sellers and their Buyer!
Thankful for all those involved in making this happen! 🙏🏼 Teamwork makes the dream work!🙌

After two long years of doing everything at home, it’s time for you to reclaim your favorite rooms and transform them back into spaces of refuge, retreat, and sanctuary far away from the hustle and bustle. Here’s what that looks like:⁣
⁣
Welcome the natural light. Keep blinds open, shades pulled up, and curtains pulled to the side. Need more sun? Forego window coverings altogether!⁣
Refresh area rugs to create a space that’s soft on the eyes and on the feet.⁣
Get rid of the cords, chargers, and screens, and bring in the blankets, pillows, and books. A “tech-free” room is always gonna be good for the mind, body, and soul.⁣
Skimp on the clutter and splurge on fresh-cut flowers. Replace cluttered counters and tabletops with nothing at all but a vase of fresh flowers!⁣
If you’re going for a total room refresh, choose natural wall and furniture colors like soothing blues, calming greens, and classic whites, beiges, or grays.⁣
⁣
Doesn’t that feel better? Now kick off your shoes, take a deep breath, and enjoy your happy place called home. 🤍

After one weekend of Open Houses this Gorgeous home is In Escrow! 🎉🎉

You made a killer offer, and the sellers are on board. There’s just one hiccup. They need to hang around town for several more months. You don’t want to lose the house, and you’re willing to be flexible. The solution? A leaseback. ⁣
⁣
A leaseback is an agreement between the new owner of a home and the former owner that rents the house back to the owner for 30-, 60-, or 90- days. While a leaseback clearly benefits the seller, willingness on a buyer’s end can be a powerful bargaining chip in a competitive housing market. ⁣
⁣
Have you ever been a party in a leaseback agreement? How'd it go? Share what you learned and whether you'd do it again in the comments below!

Ready to sell but don’t want to hire a professional stager? I’ve got good news! You can absolutely stage your home yourself with these easy tips:⁣
⁣
Focus on curb appeal. First impressions matter so make this one count. Consider pressure washing, fresh paint on doors and shutters, replacing house numbers, and a new mailbox. And of course, clean out the flowerbeds, spread fresh mulch, and plant some seasonal flowers.⁣
Make sure your kitchen shines. Kitchens sell houses, so make yours stand out by clearing out the clutter and updating the hardware. And please, please, please, make sure it’s clean!⁣
Reduce furniture to a minimum. Too much or too big furniture will make your rooms look small and choppy. Arrange the furniture in a way that makes each room feel spacious, homey, and easy to navigate.
Depersonalize your home. Remove all the family photos, keepsakes, refrigerator art, toys, and personal items in the bathroom. You want the buyer to easily envision themselves in your home — not you in your home.⁣
Think pleasant, but not overpowering smells. You could beautifully stage your home, but if a potential buyer is overwhelmed by a bad (or bad to them) smell, it’s over. The smell of clean is often enough, but if you’d like, consider a mildly-scented candle — and make sure you’ve taken out the trash!
⁣
Staging does not have to be difficult or expensive. Just think like a buyer! And if you’d like me to take a look at your home and offer up a few more suggestions, just reach out. I’m happy to help!⁣

Buyer FAQ: Should I consider resale value when buying? ⁣🤔
⁣
Short answer = YES, a million times over, yes! When buying a home, selling may be the furthest thing from your mind. Still, you want your home to appeal to the largest number of buyers in the future…even if you think you’ll live there forever. To ensure resale value, consider these things in your next home search: ⁣

⁣✅Location

Purchase a home that appeals to the largest number of future buyers. Think about convenience to shops, dining, schools, and other amenities. Consider surrounding noise and future development.⁣

✅Lot size

Pay attention to the front and back yard. If two homes are similar, the resale value will be higher for the one with more exterior space.⁣

✅Square footage

Size matters, but don’t buy the biggest house in a neighborhood. It is more advantageous to buy the smallest home in a nice neighborhood.⁣

✅Bed and bath count

If possible, you’ll want a home with at least one main bedroom and bathroom along with a laundry room on the main floor.⁣

✅Storage space

Consider linen and coat closets, along with walk-in closets. Also, look at the garage space, attic space, and basements. No matter when you sell down the road, buyers will always love loads of storage. ⁣
⁣
Ready to start your home search? Remember to have fun and keep resale value at the forefront of your mind! Need help with your search? DM me today!⁣🙋🏻‍♀️🏡

I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing Easter Sunday with the people you love the most. ⁣
⁣
From my home to yours, Happy Easter! 🐰💐🐣

You’ve thought about it for months, you are tracking the nearby listings, and you find it fun to play with online profit calculators…multiple times a day! Not to mention your friends are tired of you talking about it, and your family is exhausted by the back and forth. ⁣
⁣
If that’s you, consider THIS your writing on the wall. IT IS TIME to sell your home. And even better than your friends and family breathing a HUGE sigh of relief is the fact that you’ll land top dollar this spring. ⁣
⁣
One word of caution, though. Don’t wait. Early in the selling season is the PRIME time to get your home on the MLS before inventory has time to build. ⁣
