Showings get all the fanfare, but if you’ve ever bought a home, you know it’s the quieter, behind-the-scenes steps that smooth the way for buyer bliss. And getting pre-approved? That may just be the biggest unsung hero of the entire process. ⁣
⁣
Why, you ask? A pre-approval can boost your credibility, steer your home search, and fast-track your closing process. ⁣
⁣
Are you on the hunt for a home this spring? Go on and get pre-approved! Want help or have questions? DM me!⁣

What’s your property type persona?!

03/05/2022

Wondering your property type persona? Wonder no more!⁣
⁣
SINGLE FAMILY: You’d like a yard, want plenty of square footage, don’t care to share walls or walks, and would love to see some serious appreciation.⁣
FARM or RANCH: “Give me a home where the buffalo roam,” you say. The further from Target and Starbucks the better. You’re looking for acreage, a rocking chair front porch, a barn out back, and plenty of space to park your truck (and maybe a tractor).⁣
CONDO or TOWNHOME: You’re ready to buy, but not ready for the upkeep or size of a single-family home. Plus, you’d love to live in a city center steps away from the lively urban activity, and you're a-okay with a hefty HOA so long as it covers landscaping and major repairs.⁣
WATERFRONT: Nothing less than the waterfront will do. Whether it's a lake, ocean, pond, or inlet, you just want the lap of water ringing in the background morning, noon, and night. No water in sight? It’s a definite no-go.⁣
⁣
Got more questions about which property (or neighborhood) fits your style? I’d love to help! DM me today. ⁣

Seller FAQ: How Can I Increase the Value of My Home? ⁣
⁣
It all comes down to T-I-M-E — and whether you've got a lot or a little of it! ⁣
⁣
Clock ticking and you need to increase value ASAP? Zero in on these weekend projects:⁣
Clean, clean, and clean some more.⁣
Give walls a fresh soft, neutral coat of paint.⁣
Landscape with some low-maintenance (but green!) plants.⁣
Power wash your driveway, sidewalks, and home exterior.⁣
Declutter and consider staging.⁣
⁣
Time on your side? Chip away at these little by little:⁣
Remove a wall (or two!) to create open living spaces.⁣
Replace carpeted floors with wood or LVP flooring.⁣
Finish your unfinished basement.⁣
Replace your old windows and front door.⁣
Install new kitchen countertops and appliances.⁣
⁣
Selling on the brain? The best thing you can do is have a quick consult with a realtor. They can have a look around and let you know exactly what to do to have your home sitting pretty at top dollar. Ready to chat? Send me a DM, and I'll be in touch.⁣

I struggle with these 5 things as much as the rest of you reading this. But by living with these on a daily basis, you’re robbing yourself of true happiness, the ability to be creative and living your life with full intention.

1. Overthinking - this just gives you massive anxiety of things you probably can’t even control. Take a situation for what it’s worth, process it, and move forward.
2. Fearing Change - You need to accept change, as change is the next step in growth. It can absolutely be scary, but becoming complacent in life and never challenging yourself with change is truly a disservice to yourself and the life you want to create.
3. Living in the Past - The past is the past for a reason. Nothing you do now will change anything you did in the past, however it will set up your future. So live with intention. Learn from your past (mistakes, failures and even successes) and allow it to shape and mold who you are now and who you will be in the future.
4. Negative self-talk - I struggle with this the most out of these five. We are 100% our worst critics and its so easy to bash and blame oneself for anything thats not going according to plan. But the truth is, our own selves are the only way towards our future goals. So, if you’re not treating yourself with respect and grace, you are only making it that much harder for yourself to get where you want to be.
5. Trying to please everyone - This just simply isn’t possible. So stop wasting your energy on trying. You will never make 100% of the people around you happy 100% of the time. Strive to be kind, loving, respectful, empathetic and understanding - and that’s it. If someone still isn’t pleased with you- remember you’re being the best you can and thats all you owe anyone.
