⁣Wrapping up our weekly for National Homeowners Month, we're heading into the living room for a few helps and hacks that will make your living room come alive this summer:⁣⠀
⁣⠀
1. Make furniture do double- or triple-duty. For example, a small ottoman can be extra seating, a personal tabletop, and extra storage all at the same time.⁣⠀
2. Hang them high. Placing curtains high above the windows will give the illusion of higher ceilings. -The change is small but dramatic. Give it a try!⁣⠀
3. Splurge on fresh flowers. It may seem extra, but when you can, snag a bouquet for the living room. Extend their beauty by replacing the water daily. Another trick? Use ice cubes in the vase instead of water. Flowers like the chilly temp.⁣⠀

⁣Need to sell your house fast? Not a problem, I've helped many clients sell their home quickly (and for top dollar, of course!)⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Here are some tips I give my clients to speed up the selling process: ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
-Major repairs are out but do what you can. Clean, declutter, and focus on curb appeal.⁣⠀
-Price your home just below market value to stir up buyer buzz.⁣⠀
-Choose the all-cash offer to ensure a quick and easy closing.⁣⠀
-Be flexible on terms and price. Hold firm to your request for a quick closing.⁣⠀
-Hire an agent who has the capacity and know-how to get the deal done.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Need to sell quickly? I’m ready to help. DM me, and let’s get it done!⠀

⁣⁣It’s cliche advice, but it’s really, really good advice. And it’s all wrapped up in one little word (repeated three times, of course): Location, location, location! It’s true. Location is the #1 feature to consider when looking for a home. It trumps:⁣⠀
⁣⠀
-Square footage⁣⠀
-Bed/bath count⁣⠀
-Upgrades⁣⠀
-Outdoor living areas⁣⠀
-Neighborhood amenities⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Why? Two reasons: ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
-Because it's huge in determining your home’s value over time. You're likely better off down the road having an average house in a great location than having the best house in a less-in-demand location.⁣⠀
-That 5-digit zip code ain’t gonna change. The kitchen? You can change that. Flooring? That too. But the address. Nope. That’s the same forever and always.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Buying soon and curious to see a handful of “locations” in our town? DM me — I’d be happy to show you some of our most established neighborhoods and a few that are up-and-coming. ⠀

So, why is investing in real estate so great? Here are 5 reasons:⁣

2) Asset appreciation.⁣
3) Tax benefits.⁣
4) Leverage.⁣
5) Growing equity⁣

Confession time: Who has been to an open house, just for fun, even if they weren't looking to buy a home? 😂⁣
⁣
Hosting an open house is a great way to get more potential buyers through the door. Even the "nosey neighbors" taking a tour can help to spread the word about your home. ⁣
⁣
Here's a quick checklist I like to use before hosting an open house for my clients:⁣
⁣
✓ Lock up or remove valuables⁣
⁣
✓ Deep clean and declutter as much as possible⁣
⁣
✓ Minimize personal items and family photos⁣
⁣
✓ Less is more: Help your buyers picture this as their home⁣
⁣
✓ Put out snacks and drinks for the guests⁣
⁣
✓ Put out marketing material like flyers and disclosures⁣
⁣
✓ Open the windows to bring natural light in⁣
⁣
✓ Do a final walk through & see the home through a buyer's perspective⁣

The appraisal came in low. Now what? ⁣
⁣
First, don’t stress. There are lots of things you can control in the buying process, but one you can’t? Where that appraisal comes in. Take a deep breath and remember, an appraisal is good — it’s there to keep you from overpaying on a home.⁣
⁣
So what to do when the number is punier than your purchase price? Here are your options:⁣
⁣
- Appeal it.⁣
- Ask for a second appraisal.⁣
- Negotiate the purchase price with the seller.⁣
- Find more cash to bring to the table.⁣
⁣
Now, sellers, listen up; unless you’ve got a cash offer, a low appraisal could be a full stop to your selling plans. Help your home appraise for top dollar by: ⁣
⁣
- Providing the appraiser a list of your offers (if you receive multiple ones) to prove the price was right.⁣
- Cleaning and decluttering to have your home looking its best.⁣
- Being present at the appraisal to point out your home’s features (subtly, of course!).⁣
⁣
Save this post for later, and let me know if you want to talk more about buying or selling this summer. I’d love to connect!

If I had to choose my top 3 best tips to give someone wanting to sell their home, here's what I'd go with:⁣
⁣
Number one: Prioritize repairs over upgrades.⁣
⁣
Upgrades look nice but prioritize repairs first. The roof, HVAC, electric, and plumbing should be in good condition.⁣
⁣
Number two: Professional photography is a must.⁣
⁣
Don't let anyone convince you that photos taken on your phone will do the trick, the photos marketing your home are the first impression buyers have of your home. ⁣
⁣
Number three: Don't wait! Get started now - Summer 2022 is the time to list!⁣

Buying your home was magical. Remember how you played the process like a champ, beat out all those other buyers, and came out on top. Yeah, we see you. Know what else is magical? This week’s for National Homeownership Month. ⁣
⁣
Forget all those smelly, expensive, and harsh cleaning chemicals. All you need to magically clean your home is a little baking soda and vinegar, and you’re ready to cast a clean home spell. Use the two to⁣
⁣
1. Clean your disposal.⁣
2. Remove residue on pots and pans.⁣
3. Deodorize the fridge.⁣
4. Remove coffee and tea stains on mugs.⁣
5. Brighten laundry (baking soda) and remove odors (vinegar).⁣
6. Scrub bathroom counters, tile, toilets, and grout.⁣
7. Loosen mineral buildup on a shower head.⁣
8. Remove pet stains on carpet.⁣
9. Clean the grill.⁣
10. Kill pesky weeds.⁣

If you're considering whether it's time to stop renting and purchase a home, I want you to keep in mind that the interest rate on renting is 100%.⁣
⁣
However, renting has its perks. No maintenance costs, no down payment, flexibility to move, no concern about property value. But the truth is your monthly rent payment is just like paying 100% interest month after month after month. ⁣
⁣
You see, when you toss the financial jargon, interest, at its simplest, is the fee you pay to live in your home. When you rent, that’s what you’re doing. You’re paying a fee month after month, gaining nothing other than a roof over your head.⁣
⁣
When you buy, yes, you’re paying a fee (your mortgage) month after month, but you’re gaining SO much more than just a place to call home. You get:⁣
⁣
- An appreciating investment (existing-home sale prices rose 14.6% in 2021!)⁣
- Increasing equity (every month, the bank owns less of your home, and you own more!)⁣
- Predictable housing costs (a fixed-rate mortgage will never change)⁣
- Advantages come tax time⁣
- Freedom to personalize however you choose⁣
⁣
In almost every situation, it pays to buy vs. rent. Want to talk more and run the numbers? Let’s do it! Leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll be in touch.
