According to the NAR, 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property. ⁣
⁣
PSA everyone! If you’re thinking of selling this spring, don’t let that happen to you! Here's how:⁣
⁣
Meet with an agent who knows your neighborhood and zip code. Allowing them to do a quick walkthrough could save you piles of cash.⁣
If recommended, schedule a pre-sale inspection. Then you'll know precisely what needs to be addressed from a functional standpoint.⁣
Invest in repairing major systems first. Think HVAC, plumbing, roofing, foundation, or electrical issues.⁣
Once your home’s major systems check out, move to aesthetics. Here’s where your agent’s advice is literally gold! When in doubt, always remember, if there’s one room that needs to impress buyers, it’s (still!) the kitchen.⁣
If there’s time, money, and a little elbow grease left, paint what you can and zero in on curb appeal.⁣
⁣
The good news is getting your home ready to list doesn’t have to be costly or overwhelming. It just takes knowing who to ask for help! DM me, and let’s set a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you.⁣

Planning to sell? Here’s a heads up on the 6 most common seller mistakes I see that you’ll definitely want to kick to the curb:⁣
⁣
Taking low offers personally.⁣
Overpricing your home "just to see if anyone will bite."⁣
Being unwilling to depersonalize or remove clutter.⁣
Underestimating the importance of listing photos.⁣
Concealing major home issues from your agent.⁣
Leaving your pets out or hanging around during showings.⁣
⁣
Selling a home is exciting, but it can sometimes be stressful. Hiring an agent to guide you through the entire process is a smart choice if you want to ENJOY selling your home. Want to chat more? Send me a DM, and I'll be in touch!

The writing is on the wall: You’re going to buy— and sell — at the same time. ⁣
⁣
The first thing to know is you’re not alone: 71% of buyers are also, simultaneously, sellers. The key to success on both ends of the deal is having a realtor to guide you through:⁣
⁣
Prepping & pricing your current home⁣
Market assessment for your current and prospective home⁣
Offers and contingencies clauses⁣
Financing options and lender referrals⁣
Securing short-term housing if needed⁣
⁣
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, the best thing to do is to talk to a pro who can ease your worries. Send me a DM and let’s set up a time to connect this week.

Wondering if a new construction home is your next move? ⁣
⁣
To spare you the trouble here's a PRO/CON list so you can stop wondering and start knowing if floor plans and upgrades are in your future⁣.
⁣
For some, building a home has been the dream for years. For others, it's simply another option to consider. ⁣
⁣
If you'd like help talking through which one is right for you, I'd love to connect, show you some established and new construction neighborhoods, and see you get the assurance you need to move forward. DM me, and I'll be in touch.

An appraisal contingency is a clause included in a purchase contract that allows you to back out of a contract if a home is appraised for less than the purchase price. ⁣
⁣
As a buyer, you should never waive an appraisal contingency UNLESS you've talked with an agent you trust, and you believe you'll need to waive it to have your offer accepted; even then, it’s risky.⁣
⁣
It's my responsibility to protect and educate my buyers during the homebuying journey. Encouraging them to include an appraisal contingency in their offer is just one of the many ways I can make good on that promise. ⁣
⁣
If you're looking to buy and need an agent to show you something that’s caught your eye, send me a DM. Let’s start the search for your next home today!

As you look around, you’re wondering how in the world you can get your home looking its best for all those showings. Answer = Staging! Here’s why—and when—you should stage your home:⁣
⁣
It makes your listing photos more appealing to buyers. And you know, your listing is your first “showing.”⁣
It allows buyers to more easily picture themselves living in your home.⁣
It increases your home’s value. According to the NAR, 23% of buyer’s agents said that staged homes increased the dollar home value offered between 1-5%, compared to other homes that were not staged.⁣
If your home is outdated, overly cluttered, or needs repairs (that you don’t have resources to address before selling), staging can help divert a buyer’s attention.⁣
⁣
The best time to stage your home is BEFORE it hits the market. If you reach out as soon as you know you want to sell, we can easily factor staging into your selling timeline. ⁣
⁣
One more thing — not every home needs professional staging. I’d love to share some tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years that will help you get your home ready. It may be way simpler than you think. ⁣

Longing for more daylight hours and beams of sunlight to pour through your windows? While spring isn’t here quite yet, lighten things up with these design tricks meant to boost your home’s natural light.⁣
⁣
Replace outdated wall art or photos with mirrors. Mirrors are a great way to reflect natural light and make a space feel lighter and airier.⁣
Consider “86ing” your window coverings. If privacy isn’t an issue, remove your blinds and shades and see how you like it. If it doesn’t work, no big deal. Just rehang them. If you do use coverings, go with a sheer or lightweight fabric.⁣
Use bright interior wall and ceiling paints. Nothing is more brilliant than white. But if you can’t go that bright due to kids, pets, or some neat-freak tendencies, check out whites with other color tones like Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray or Sherwin Williams Alabaster.⁣
While we’re talking paint, choose a glossy finish over eggshell or matte if you really want some shine. The gloss will have all your light (natural and artificial) bouncing around the room morning, noon, and night.⁣
Consider large wall art. A large painting or print can fill up a blank wall, plus if you frame it, it will add another semi-reflective finish to your walls.⁣
⁣
Go on, lighten things up this February with these design hacks. And as always, let me know how I can help you love your home — this month and all year long!
