Hey everyone, today we’re celebrating Juneteenth! It’s the day when the last enslaved people in the U.S. found out they were free, back in 1865. This is a huge deal because it marks a big step towards equality.
Let’s take a moment to remember the struggle and celebrate how far we’ve come. But we also know there’s more work to do. Here’s to learning from the past and building a better future together. Happy Juneteenth!

I just had a casual chat with Kim, and she made such a great point that we had to share it with you all. We decided to record an unscripted video to capture the moment and share our thoughts as they happened. Check out the video– it’s informal and real, just us sharing what’s on our minds. We’d love for you to watch and join the conversation!

Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments. Let’s keep the dialogue going!

Allow myself…to introduce.. myself?

Welcome to the Kimberly: NYC’s mystery podium or my VIP spot? Standing here, I’m torn between thinking Kimberly’s the city’s secret superhero or just a podium enthusiast with big dreams. Either way, I’m here for the laughs and the mystery! Hello from the big apple!

Today marks a remarkable milestone as our dear friends and have officially closed on their new home, becoming homeowners for the first time. This achievement is the culmination of a two-year journey that began with us, and now, they stand as proud owners of their dream home. Some of you might recognize Alex from previous posts – he’s not just a homeowner now but also happens to be my talented hairdresser. Our paths crossed over five years ago, and the bond we’ve formed since then is truly special.

Alex and Fernando, we couldn’t be more thrilled for you both! This journey has been a testament to your dedication and perseverance. Thank you for entrusting us with this incredible opportunity.

Also received a haircut on the actual day of loan funding. Delivered the news in person! Sweet!

I’d like to extend a heartfelt appreciation to .e._ for her outstanding work on the real estate side. Your dedication and commitment have made all the difference in ensuring Alex and Fernando’s journey to homeownership was smooth and successful. Amazing job, Marissa!

Did you catch wind of the latest on the NAR Settlement? Right now, it’s a bit of a waiting game as details trickle in and guidelines get fine-tuned to match the evolving landscape. But hey, in the meantime, it’s business as usual, right? Let’s keep our eyes peeled for updates and keep the momentum going! And remember, don’t wait to buy. With potential changes from the settlement, delaying could mean paying more down the line as a buyer. Keep that in mind as you navigate the market!

Email us at [email protected] to get started. We will set you up with a great agent!.

“Unlocking Dead Equity: Don’t Let Your Assets Sit Idle!

Dead equity - it’s a silent wealth killer. Imagine having money sitting in your bank account, doing absolutely nothing for you. That’s dead equity in a nutshell. Whether it’s tied up in a property or stagnant investments, dead equity is capital that could be working harder for you.

But fear not! There’s a solution: accessing and reinvesting dead equity. By leveraging tools like refinancing, home equity loans, or selling underperforming assets, you can breathe new life into your finances.

Reinvesting dead equity opens doors to opportunities like expanding your portfolio, starting a new venture, or even just boosting your savings. Don’t let your equity go to waste. Put it to work and watch your wealth grow!”

Act Now: Navigating Homebuying Before the NAR Settlement Changes
The real estate landscape is on the cusp of significant change following a settlement with the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This change, aimed at modifying the commission structure, holds the potential to alter homebuying costs and market dynamics. While the exact implications remain uncertain, one thing is clear: the future of homebuying costs is in flux.

Why Buy Now?
Uncertainty Ahead: The specifics of how commission changes will affect home prices and buyer expenses are still unknown. This uncertainty suggests that costs could rise, making future home purchases potentially more expensive.

Current Stability: Buying a home now offers a chance to capitalize on the existing, more familiar commission structure. Acting before the new rules take effect could mean sidestepping unforeseen expenses and navigating a less unpredictable market.

Opportunity Knocks: The period before these changes are implemented represents a unique window of opportunity. Prospective buyers have a chance to lock in their investments under the current, potentially more favorable conditions.

The Bottom Line
With the NAR settlement poised to reshape the real estate buying process, the message for prospective homebuyers is clear: considering a purchase sooner rather than later could save you from navigating a more costly and uncertain market in the future. As we move towards these changes, staying informed and proactive is your best strategy in this evolving landscape.

Buying a Home for the Long Term has Always Been a Good Idea!

We have broken down many times while we feel the housing market is on good footing and how supply and demand dynamics this year should lead to around 4.5% to 5% appreciation. But the media continues to try to plant the seeds of doubt and talk about the housing bubble deterring one from making a sound investment in Real Estate.

Most people buy and live in their homes for at least 10 years. Looking at the chart, you could see that since 1942, if you bought a home and held it for 10- years, you would have only lost money one year - if you bought in 2006. In every other scenario, you would have created a massive amount of wealth - the chart shows how much you would have gained 10 years later for each $100,000 your home was worth, for ease of numbers.

The bottom line is that the housing situation could not be more opposite than in 2006 and housing has almost always proved to be one of the very best investments over the long term.

This is proof why we strongly believe in Real Estate and an amazing tool to fund your retirement. One will never retire with their 401k.
