📈🏡💰 Real estate is a long-term investment and can create opportunities over time.

So if your ultimate dream home is out of reach today, it’s ok!

The home you buy today can be used to help you upgrade into your next.

Knowing this, keep these strategies in mind -

⚪ When you buy your ‘right now’ home, take into consideration the location of the home as one of the most important selling points. It's the one thing you can't change later!

And the desirability of an area can influence how much it sells for in the future.

⚪ Over time and as you're able, you can make value-increasing improvements to the home you're in.

This may look like a kitchen or bathroom remodel or be smaller upgrades over time that make your home more desirable to future buyers.

⚪ Real estate typically appreciates in value over time. So, by simply owning real estate you could be increasing your future wealth.

When buying a home, be sure too look at the market trends for the home values in the area to see how they’ve historically increased.

Then, once your home has appreciated in value, you can use this equity to upgrade to your next home.

Just because a home might not be your “dream home” doesn’t mean it can’t be a “dream investment” in your future!

Contact me to learn more about how I can help you find your 'right now' home using my 3-Bucket strategy that gets you in alignment with your budget, location, and criteria of what you're looking for in your new home.

It's a question I get a lot...

🏡 "What's the smartest first step if you're thinking of selling?"

And the answer is -

✔️📍 Find the right local expert to get it sold

Your real estate pro should...

📈 Make sure you price it right based on a number of factors

📍 Be a local expert in the market you're selling in

💻 Use a proven marketing strategy to reach the most qualified buyers

🤝 Have a network of pros to help each step of the way

✅ Be an expert in negotiation

💬 Have a communication plan to keep you updated throughout the process

💥BONUS - Also works as a Buyer's Agent because they'll know what Buyers are looking for RIGHT NOW and can position your home to these potential buyers!

What Buyers are looking for changes just as constantly as the real estate market does, so if your agent is solely a Listing Agent, ask them what they do to stay up-to-date on what buyers are looking for now so they can help you position your home to these potential buyers.

I'm proud to be that local expert right here in Amador County who offers these needed services and pro tips to each of my sellers!

So if you're looking for someone to help get your home sold, or you're simply curious what the local market might look like right now, please don't hesitate to reach out!

🏡There are so many DIY home projects you could choose from if you're looking to refresh your space.

But it's smart to choose projects that could also help make your home more desirable to buyers down the line!

🙌 So if you're looking for a weekend project that can potentially bring you a greater return later, try one of these suggestions first -

◽️ A Fresh Coat of Paint - this is one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform and upgrade any space

◽️ Add Kitchen Backsplash - this one simple touch can enhance the overall look and aesthetic of your kitchen space

◽️ Update Flooring - replacing flooring in any room or exterior space to improve quality and increase functionality can be a great way to potentially increase value (Pro Tip - this is one of the FIRST things buyers notice, so this is always a great way to update your space!)

◽️ Replace Light fixtures - replacing existing light fixtures with more updated or modern ones can be a one-step way to upgrade a room

◽️Add Storage Solutions - built-in storage solutions in the garage, laundry room, or kitchen, for example, can be a valuable selling point ...and a great way to set your home apart from the rest!

◽️ Update your Hardware - updating worn and outdated handles on doors and cabinets can instantly update the look and feel of a space to be more modern and fresh

👉 Be sure to save for later inspo!

🎃🦃🎄🥂 If you envision yourself celebrating the holiday season this Fall/Winter in a new home, then listen up!

July is prime time for you as a homebuyer, and here's why -

Buying a home can take anywhere from around 3 to 6 months 👀

And that timeframe is dependent on many factors!

So, let's break it down to give you an idea of what that could look like-

◾ Find the right agent & do any interviews
🟰 Estimated time: 1-2 weeks

◾ Meet with your chosen agent to discuss your plan
🟰 Estimated time: An hour or two!

◾ Work with a mortgage lender & get pre-approved
🟰 Estimated time: 1-2 weeks

◾ Browse listings online & schedule in-person tours
🟰 Estimated time: 1 week to 3 months

◾ Make an offer & negotiate
🟰 Estimated time: 1 day to 2 weeks

◾ Enter the closing process
🟰 Estimated time: 4 to 6 weeks

Now, these are just averages to give you an idea.

So, if you want to welcome trick-or-treaters, carve turkey in your new kitchen, or open gifts under the tree, the time to start the process is now!

I'd be happy to give you a better idea of what this process and timeline can look like for you! 🤳 Simply reach out to get started with the first step!

I'll also share how I help you through the homebuying process without it taking over your life for the next 3-6 months. 😅

I just impress myself right up! 😂 Today was one of my HARD days. Dentist apt for Mason in El Dorado Hills, then off to UC Davis in Sac for Mason & Blake’s PM&R apt where they saw 5 different specialists 😓

Even had to give one of the drs a stern talking to after being berated about the tech not doing a dexoscan correctly at our last visitfor one of my kids. As if it was my fault! I don’t even know how to properly spell the dang word, let alone know when it’s done correctly! 🤦‍♀️ But all is well and he even apologized 🙌😅

Needless to say this mama bear is pooped. But my will to eat Salsbury steak was stronger than my exhaustion. 💪😋 Have a good night ya’ll snd just remember, if you’re having a HARD day, the easy one is coming soon. You can do it. I believe in you!!

A mix of colors, patterns, and textures in a way that adds visual interest while still remaining cohesive?

How did this inspo do it (and how can you do it, too?) -

⚪️ Start with a neutral base, like the wall color in this photo

🟫 Pick complementary colors - see how the colors in the patterned floor are in the same color family as the shade of the wall

🔸 Mix patterns of different scales and proportions, like how the large checkered pattern of these floor tiles pairs well with the daintier pattern in the wall treatment

This helps to avoid overwhelming the space while still adding interest.

🪴Incorporate natural textures like wood, rattan, or stone to add warmth and grounding elements, like the use of the table & decor in this photo

🟦 Use pops of color as a statement that complements the more neutral tones in the space - use the painting in this photo as an example of this

🌺 Repeat color tones - When mixing tones, use the same shade a few times throughout the space to create cohesiveness

Like how the flowers in the vase match the flowers in the artwork and complement the blues in the painting!

So have fun with it - and save this inspo and a guide!

There’s more that goes into your budget than what an online calculator can show you....

Because online mortgage calculators often miss factors that influence how much home you will qualify for. Consider this -

🛑 Online calculators are just a quick guess based on the limited info you provide.

✅ An official pre-approval, however, takes a much closer look at your particular financials to give you a mortgage amount you’re pre-approved for.

Once you have pre-approval, you'll be able to look at homes for sale and make offers more confidently!

So, a savvy homebuying step is a conversation with a trusted mortgage pro—and I'd be happy to provide you with some options!

Just send me a DM with any questions & let’s get you one step closer to being a confident home buyer in today’s market!

One of my favorite summertime memories has to be that time I...

took Mason & Blake to MDA Summer Camp for the first time EVER and spent some quality 1-on-1 time with Colin & the hubbs while sister Cheyenne (in teenage fashion😄) got some quality alone time!

But I loved time spent at Howard Park and all the other great memories I have with my kiddos from Summers past.

So, join me for a throwback of some of my favorite moments, and let me know in the caption ⤵️😎

What's your favorite summer memory? Was it like mine?
