And just like that we are closed 🤩

48 hours on the market is all it took to get a wayyyy over asking offer accepted on this darling colonial🌟

This closing is not only about the end results is about the intentions…

When your friends believe in you that they still want you to sell their house while you are moving out of state❣️

This closing is about trust.

When your friends trust you and say yes to every repair, paint job, landscaping and staging you ask them to do knowing that the end result will be worth it❣️

This closing is about friendship.

Because friendship means believing in each other, supporting and cheering for each other❣️

For every friend who has supported me from day 1 and for those who continue to support me and my business I want you to know that not only I see you and appreciate you but there is something to be said about friends like you🌟

I always say we rise by lifting others and this closing is another testimony to that quote❣️

thank you my friend for choosing and big congrats to you and Nabil🎉

And special out to my homies who I can always count on

Meet my fun, creative and all around lovely client Jo Jo! 

Jo Jo was looking to buy her first house.. before she retires‼️

She knew it was the right time for her because even though the market was very competitive she wanted to take advantage of the low interest rates without overpaying for her new home and that’s exactly happened‼️ 

In this current market teaming up with the right people and thinking outside of the box are the keys to success stories🙌🏻

Thank you for partnering up with me since day 1 and thank you for being the reason behind this story.

Congratulations to my amazing first time (and last time‼️) homebuyer Jo Jo 🎉 🎉

PS: Jo Jo nickname me Wonder Woman so she gifted me this Wonder Woman doll on our final walkthrough 😉🥰

Naturally, you may not want to spend a large chunk of your free time this summer doing home maintenance. But you don’t want to put it off till it’s too late either!

Below is a list of my recommended summer maintenance items to keep your home beautiful and safe year round! ☀️

✅ Repair and repaint any chipped, cracking or faded exterior paint.
Besides improving your home’s curb appeal, it will also help protect it from the elements.

✅ Power wash and reseal your deck.
This will help prevent any wood from splitting, graying or cracking.

✅ Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct.
Without some maintenance, clogged lint and dust in your dryer vents could cause a house fire.

✅ Inspect outdoor play equipment.
Reinforce, tighten and re-stain, reseal or repaint as needed.

✅ Refill cracks on cement walkway or driveway.
Concrete is strong, but it can be easily damaged by standing water and freezing water that seeps in through the cracks.

What’s the first item you will tackle on this list?

Sold in 24 hours over asking! 💥💥

So happy for my sellers (and friends) to close on their property today: one chapter closed and another exciting one opens.

When it comes to hiring a realtor to help you sell your home, there can be a lot of confusion about the total cost, especially for first-time sellers!

Here is a helpful breakdown of what to expect when working with a realtor:

🔹 What does a realtor charge to sell your house?
Instead of an hourly rate or flat fee, realtors make money through commissions calculated as a percentage of the property’s sale price. This percentage can vary from Realtor to Realtor, but the national average real estate commission is 6%.

🔹 Where does the commission go?
When you sell a home, your listing agent will share their commission with the agent or broker who brings a buyer to the sale, usually at a 50/50 split.

🔹 Are there other closing costs?
As a seller, there are additional closing costs including title fees, real estate transfer taxes, escrow fees, reconveyance feeds, and taxes on the property. The cost of all these fees will vary based on the price of your home and where you live.

Have other questions about the costs involved in selling your home? Drop them below and I’ll do my best to get an answer for you as quickly as possible.

The latest design trend is here! 🆕 Have you heard about the “Japandi” style?

You may not think that Japan and Scandinavia have a lot in common, but when it comes to design elements, they're more similar than you may think!

Each one's aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort, so it's no surprise that we're seeing more and more designers combine the two looks together and calling it "Japandi" (aka Japanese and Scandi).

Love the trend👍 or pass 👎?

Whether you’re planning a garden, flower bed or major landscaping, it’s important to buy quality plants that will thrive in our tricky Michigan climate.

I’ve learned so much about plants during my recent landscaping project, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite local nurseries in Metro Detroit!

Goldner Walsh (Pontiac)
Telly’s Greenhouse (Troy)
Stem and Stone (Birmingham)
Olive bloombox (Ferndale)
Fleur Detroit (Bloomfield Hills)

What is your favorite local nursery? Share away! 🍃

Floating shelves, vanities and wall displays visually lighten any space, create clear sight lines and seamlessly weave color and texture into even the most basic design.

In my house, all the bathrooms have floating cabinets for a classic yet more modern/minimalistic look.

We also added LED lights underneath the cabinets for more subtle lighting at night.
Are you a fan of this floating trend?

👍 or 👎⁠?
