Ally. ✨ I really loved that word that Megan put in her recent review. Guiding someone through the homebuying process is a big responsibility and it’s a honor to help my customers through the process. Thinking of buying or investing in VA, DC, MD, NC or FL? I’d love to chat!

It’s Girl Scout cookie time…that time of the year where parents hit you up to buy stuff that their kids are selling on social media instead of the kids selling it themselves 👀 anyway, I’m cookie mom for Isla’s troop so these are being stored at my house until they are gone. Hit me up if you are local and would like to purchase any! 🍪

Have you heard about an ‘Origination Fee’ and were wondering what it is? Let’s simplify it! It’s essentially the setup cost for your mortgage – think of it as the entry ticket to getting your home loan. 🎟️💼

This fee rolls up various costs involved in processing your loan, like credit checks, underwriting and the overall cost of processing the loan. Are you a veteran utilizing your VA benefit? If so, we do not charge you an origination fee as a thank you for your service!

First closing of the year in the books! Congratulations to J+P on the purchase of their beautiful home. When they lost this home to another buyer on the first round, they said, “well, then it wasn’t meant to be.” That first transaction didn’t go through and then it was meant to be!

Thanks so much to .metro for being great to work with and for a smooth settlement.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and prosperous 2024!

Did you know? The median existing single-family sales price soared at an annual pace of 16.2%, a record since 1989! 🚀 While the market has its challenges, homeownership has proven to be a great investment that grows with time. If you are interested to see what the numbers would look like to buy vs. renting, I’d be happy to show you the numbers. 🏠🔑

🏡 Ready for a mortgage tip that could be a game-changer? Listen closely: After you get that sweet loan approval, don’t make any big purchases, open new lines of credit, or switch jobs without talking to your lender first!

Seriously, making any changes (sometimes even seemingly small ones) before closing can risk you losing your financing. Why? New credit can mess with your credit score and effect your debt-to-income ratio, making lenders side-eye your financial stability.

So, save the shopping spree for after you get those keys! 🛒🔑

Q: I want to buy a home, but the inventory is low… What should I do?

A: When home inventory is low, it’s easy to feel discouraged, but don’t lose hope! Here are a few strategies:

-Expand Your Search Area: If you’re limited to a specific neighborhood or city, consider widening your search area. You might find hidden gems in places you hadn’t considered before.

-Adjust Your Expectations: While we all dream of that perfect home, being a little flexible on your ‘must-haves’ might open up more possibilities. Maybe you don’t need that extra half-bath or that huge backyard after all!

-Hire a Local Realtor: A local realtor with a deep understanding of the market can give you an edge. They may know about listings before they hit the market or could provide insights into upcoming inventory.

-Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage: In a competitive market, you need to be pre-approved. We can even put you through a preliminary underwriting process before you have a contract for an extra edge.

-Stay Patient and Persistent: It may sound cliché, but patience truly is a virtue in a low inventory market. I know it can be discouraging to loose back to back bids. Keep trying!

Remember, buying a home is a significant decision, and it’s essential to make a choice that suits your needs and budget. Keep the faith, and your patience could pay off with the perfect home, even in this market!
