Congratulations to my clients, Joseph and Ari! It’s been an exciting couple of months. We closed on their new Blacksburg home in August, and yesterday, officially SOLD their Christiansburg home.

It was a pleasure walking alongside you through both sides of this journey. Wishing you both all the best as you settle into your new home and begin this next chapter. Congratulations! 🏡🔑

Seeing those dollars on a screen is one thing; but actually shelling out for them every month on a mortgage bill?

That's a whole other ball game.

Here's a tip I often share with folks eyeing a home purchase: "practice" making mortgage payments. It might sound a bit unconventional, but it can really get your mind in the right place.

If your new payment exceeds your current one (be it rent or a mortgage), start tucking away the extra cash each month. Does your budget still fit? If not, it could be a sign to rethink the type, location, or size of the home you're eyeing.

Have questions about home budgeting?

What does a first-time homebuyer actually need from a real estate agent in the New River Valley?

Real estate school taught me how the process is supposed to work.

Real clients taught me what it feels like when that process is attached to someone’s savings, timeline, nerves, and hopes for what comes next.

You can study contracts and deadlines all day, but experience is what teaches you when someone needs more context before they can make a decision, when a question is really fear in disguise, or when the smartest thing you can do is slow the whole process down for a minute.

That part of the job can’t really be memorized.

You learn it by sitting across from people who trust you with something deeply personal and realizing that knowing the rules is only the beginning.

The longer I do this, the more I understand that expertise isn’t just knowing what comes next. It’s knowing how to help someone move through it with clarity and confidence.

If you’re buying your first home in the New River Valley and want someone who’ll make sure you understand the process as you go, send me a message.

I’m James Nolen, a NRV local and real estate expert.
