If you need the proceeds from the sale of your current home to buy the next one, listen up. There is no point in house hunting before you put your home on the market!

If you decide it’s time to move and just run out the door to start viewing properties, you will be disappointed. You’ll find a place you love and you’ll miss out on it because you can’t move quickly enough to get it.

Start slow, make a solid plan, lay the groundwork and then start shopping. Otherwise you’re just a glorified window shopper.

If you’re not sure where to start, DM me today and let’s get planning. 💪

Don’t fall into these common traps if you’re thinking of selling this year. The market is what it is, regardless of what you might feel it should be.

Find an agent you trust, who will give it to you straight, and listen to them. Otherwise you’ll find yourself walking away from $10k+ that should have been yours.

If you’re thinking of selling this year DM me SELL and I’ll tell you exactly what I’d do with your home. 💪

The trend these days is for Grandma & Grandpa to move closer to their kids and grandkids. In doing so, they often have a desire to downsize after years of keeping up with a bigger home.

That idea looks great on paper. A small home with low maintenance and just enough space for the two of them. However, it can be overdone.

Think about holidays, gatherings and having the grandkids over for visits. That 900 sq ft bungalow will quickly feel cramped. Maybe it’s worth a bigger home, and maybe it’s time to hire out some of the cleaning, mowing, etc.

If this sounds like you (or your parents) let’s talk. I’d love to help you avoid the hassle of moving twice!

Zillow estimates are a starting point — not a strategy. A detailed comparative market analysis gives you real numbers based on what’s actually selling in your neighborhood, so you can price smart and maximize your return.

I’ve been guilty of this myself. I have walked into a home, barely looked it over and decided to buy it. It’s easy to do, because there is SO much that goes into choosing your next home. Here are 3 things you might be overlooking:

1. How busy are the streets nearby? If you tour during the day things can be quiet, but what about during rush hour? Traffic noise can be a deal breaker.
2. What’s the status of the landscaping? Tree work in particular can be pricey. Is there a massive hidden cost looming in the backyard?
3. How’s the driveway? Steep? Lots of cracks or uneven spots? Usability can really affect quality of life, and even a little bit of damage now can turn into a big problem in a few years.

These are all things I’ve dealt with in my own homes. They’re things I never saw because I wasn’t in the business, and I sure wish my agent had pointed them out at the time. To be fair, I bought one of them on my own (not recommended).

Home buying starts with a simple conversation. Send me a DM or reach out at any of the options below!👇

I see this all too often. People get really excited about the idea of a new home and jump right into shopping. I get it, it’s fun!

But if you overlook the financial side of things you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment. Make sure you know your price range and you’re pre approved before you do anything.

Selling in the spring market is a great move. It’s the time of year when most people are in the market and you’re most likely to make a quick sale.

That being said, the time to prepare for listing is now. If you wait until March or April to get started you’ll be scrambling to catch up.
