😅 No big deal.

It’s only one of the biggest decisions of your life.

Buying a home may seem commonplace, but it’s actually a pretty big deal.

Not only does it involve a lot of $$$, but you’re also deciding where you’re going to put down roots. It’s worth taking the time to make the best decision. ♥️

How do you do that? Picture your future and what you want to see happen. Then think about what kind of home would support that future.

Keeping an open mind through this process will help you find the best place for your future–and your finances. What ends up feeling right might just surprise you! 😊

This is one of those things sellers wish they knew sooner 👏

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you start looking at agents. Who do you choose out of a sea of options?

When you’re looking at agents, one thing you SHOULDN’T focus on is how much you’re paying your agent.

Why? You get what you pay for when it comes to real estate agents!

A good agent is worth the cost for all they’ll save you in time, effort, and money. 💰💗

Plus, a great agent will help you get max ROI when you sell your home, which is absolutely worth the agent’s commission.

Instead of focusing on what an agent’s commission is, focus on these things instead:

- The agent’s reviews and testimonials
- Their communication style
- Your gut feelings when you interview the agent

Focusing on what kind of agent will work best for YOU rather than the cost will help you find the best agent and get your home sold for top dollar.

Selling a home can be overwhelming—comment "SELLER" and let’s simplify the process!

This might seem crazy, but it’s true. 😅

As our favorite real estate mogul says, “Buyers decide in the first 8 seconds of seeing a home if they’re interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes, and see what they see within the first 8 seconds.”

Listen, if Barbara Corcoran says it, you can be assured that this is good advice.

If you’re getting ready to sell or currently have your home on the market, give this a try! Here’s how to do it.

1. Get your home set up as if it would be for a showing.

2. Get in the car and take a trip around the block to get into a “buyer” headspace. 🧠

3. Imagine you’re a buyer driving up to your home for the first time. Get out of the car and step inside your home. What do you see in those first 8 seconds? What sticks out to you? What’s your initial gut check on whether you want to buy the home?

Putting yourself in the buyer’s shoes will help you see what you can do to make your home feel more welcoming and “buyable” from the moment you walk in. 💫

You deserve so much more! 💯

Your choice of seller’s agent has a BIG impact on your selling experience and how much your home will sell for.

Sure, you can get a cheap agent who will throw your home up on the MLS and open the door for buyers.

But a great agent will do so much more.

They’ll help you prep your home for sale so it looks its absolute best. 😍

Then they’ll create a smart marketing strategy to get your home in front of the right potential buyers and drum up lots of interest. 🎉

This will help create demand for your home so you’ll get top dollar when you close!

💣 Bomb advice incoming.

As a real estate agent, there’s nothing better than seeing a couple take the step into homeownership as a team.

But let’s be honest…

Buying a home with another person has its challenges, and most of them start with miscommunication. 😞

Before you start searching for your new home, go through these 10 questions with your partner so you’re on the same page:

1. Do you see this being our forever home or starter home?

2. What are your must-haves and nice-to-haves when it comes to a home?

3. Are you open to working on the home? If so, to what extent?

4. Is our income likely to increase, decrease, or stay the same over the next 5-10 years?

5. How involved will our parents be in this process (financially or otherwise)?

6. How will our lives change over the next 5-10 years, and how might that change what we need from our house?

7. Can we still make our mortgage payment if one of us unexpectedly loses our job?

8. How much of our monthly pay are we comfortable with spending on a mortgage payment?

9. How much outdoor space do we want, and how will we maintain it?

10. What’s the ideal timeline for buying a home?

If you’re not married, here are two bonus questions you’ll want to get clear on before you start looking:

1. What will happen with the house if we break up?

2. Do we want to have an attorney create a legal agreement, or are we comfortable with a verbal agreement?

While these questions are kinda serious, it’s best to get them aired out before you’re in the middle of a heated negotiation or after you get the keys. 😅

‼️ It’s one of the most important things you can do before listing your home.

But let’s be honest: decluttering can be SO hard. 😩

If it’s something you’re struggling with, there’s no shame. You just need to go into it with a process rather than getting stuck and not knowing where to start.

Remember, the process of decluttering can be challenging, but it’s worth it in the end. Decluttering is one of those high ROI actions that can help you sell your home for max profit. 💰

After all, giving buyers a blank canvas to imagine their lives in is one of the best ways to show the benefits and unique charms of your home.

Plus, doing the decluttering now means that you’ll have an easier move when you sell your home! 📦

Dreaming of a lower mortgage payment and a little more cash flow? 💲

There’s a way to do it WITHOUT refinancing. 🫨

While refinancing has great benefits and is a smart choice for many homeowners looking to decrease their interest rate, it has its downsides.

The primary downside is that you have to pay closing costs on a refinance, so you have to make sure that the money you’ll save by refinancing is above and beyond the costs of closing.

If you already have a lower interest rate but still want a lower mortgage payment, refinancing may not solve your problem anyway.

But there’s a way to get a lower payment without going through the hassle of refinancing:

A mortgage recast! 🔮

During a mortgage recast, you’ll make a lump sum payment towards your principal. Then, your lender will look at how much you’ve paid towards your principal and *recast* your monthly payment based on the new balance.

This saves your low interest rate and gets you a lower monthly payment all without refinancing.

Be honest: are you stuck in this trap right now? 😣

If your expectations for what your home will sell for don’t match the local market, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. 💔

Here’s the harsh reality of things:

The buyers on the market just don’t care how much you think your home SHOULD sell for or how much you WISH it would sell for.

Instead, they care about what comparable properties are selling for and whether your home lines up with the rest of the prices on the market. 📈

Overpricing your home based on what you want to see it sell at is a great way to scare buyers away and let your home stagnate on the market. ☹️

This is why it’s so important to go into the selling process without preconceived notions about what your home should sell for based on your expectations and feelings.

The cure for feeling stressed about equity ⬇️

It’s understandable. Equity is the core of your real estate investment. It’s what you’ll get back in your pocket if you were to sell your home and pay off your mortgage.

The more equity you have, the more ownership you have in your home, and the more money you get when you sell. 💰

If you want to build equity fast and reduce the amount of interest you pay, the answer is simple.

Focus on making extra payments when you can!

If you get a mid-year bonus or have an extra paycheck during a month with 5 weeks, put that towards your mortgage.

Even small contributions add up to provide you with more equity, and more money back when you sell. 🤑

Send this post to a friend who’s a homeowner so they can build equity quickly too!
