It's time to spill the tea because truthfully it's a hard time to be a buyer! Luckily, I give all my clients VIP treatment when I help them find a home in this crazy market.

Staying motivated is key to enjoy the process and feel less stressed.

As your agent, I will...

Be honest with you from the start: There always needs to be expectations before going into a seller's market with factors such as low inventory and high demand that affect how easy it will be to secure a home.

Keep in touch: Depending on whether you prefer texts or calls, I will keep you updated as if you were right next to me. Communication is a big deal to me so we are all on the same page.

Stay positive: It's important to stay positive if your offer keeps getting rejected, just know I'm here for you!

Being early: Being early is SO important in a seller's market. As soon as a home that's a good fit for you hits the market you will know, and we will schedule a time to see it as soon as possible and put an offer on it. I've written contracts in the most random places before, that's how you know I'm

What are some things you do to stay motivated?

Dear Mr. Appraiser: How low can you go? Can you go down low? All the way to the floor? Please...

A low appraisal is never a fun sight to see, not only do you not want to pay over value but your lender will require the appraisal to come in at the purchase price or higher. There's no reason to sweat yet!

There are a couple of options when this happens.

1. Seller & buyer re-negotiate the purchase price: If the seller wants the deal to close, and is ready to move on they might agree to lower the purchase price to the appraised value or closer to it.

2. Buyer increases downpayment to meet new loan requirements: This option will require you to have more cash upfront for the downpayment to lower your loan amount.

3. The contract is canceled if no negotiations can be made- If neither parties wish to re-negotiate or you are wanting to back out this is the time when it can happen. However, you have made it this far so it's best for both parties to come up with a plan.

4. Buyer or seller fights the low appraisal- Fighting a low appraisal doesn't always work, however, it can be done. Either the buyer or seller's agent will look into comparable homes that were just sold, look for mistakes on the report, or ask for another appraisal to be done

Selling soon? ⁣
⁣
I’ve got a tip that’ll give you a leg up and leave buyers scrambling to make your home theirs! Pull out your phone or a pad of paper and pen. Think about what you’re going to miss most about the place you currently call home.

Maybe it’s:⁣
⁣
• The slow Saturday mornings on your screened-in porch,⁣
• The sunset neighborhood walks with your four-legged friend,⁣
• The walk-in shower with rain shower head in the master bathroom, or maybe —⁣
• The down-to-earth neighbors that have become dear friends.⁣
⁣
Write down what you’ll miss and share it with your realtor. It’ll help you commemorate where you’ve been and let buyers know things about your home that don’t quite fit into an MLS drop-down menu. ⁣
⁣
If you’re thinking of selling, or know someone who is, I’d love to connect. Send me a message and let’s get started!⁣

To anyone thinking of selling their home- I've got a seat saved on the future seller's train just for you! Will you accept this one way ticket to a new chapter?

Home's are selling for more than they have in the past years, and your equity can be more than you think. They don't call it a seller's market for nothing!

DM me for a seller's guide, and yes... it has pretty photos!
