Getting approved for a home and comfortably affording a home aren’t always the same thing. 🏡💰

Your pre-approval tells you what you can borrow. Your budget should tell you what you actually want to spend each month.

Because homeownership is more than the mortgage payment. There are property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, unexpected repairs, and, of course, everything else life brings along.

The goal isn’t to buy the most expensive home you qualify for. It’s to find a home that fits your needs while still leaving room for savings, vacations, dinners out, kids’ activities, and whatever else matters to you.

Before you start shopping, think beyond the purchase price and decide what monthly payment feels comfortable for your life.

Ready to figure out what that price range looks like? Let’s talk! 🏡

One last ride together. 💔🔐

The REIN MLS lockbox recall meant it was time to temporarily say goodbye to these little workhorses, so naturally, I made sure my precious cargo was safely buckled in for the trip. 😂

A big thank you to REIN for making the drop-off process so quick and seamless! I happened to be working in the Portsmouth area today, so I popped into an office I hadn’t visited before, and they made the whole process super easy.

For anyone wondering, these little boxes securely hold property keys, and every so often, they need a little maintenance and recharge too. 🔐🔋

Charge up on the dock, girls, and get some rest. I’ll be back to pick y’all up soon. 🥲

Are you wanting to declutter your closet? Here are some tips:

1) The clothes you never reach for are wasted just sitting in your closet. Let those items live to their potential and become favorites to others. Donate and give yourself a pat on the back for making an environmentally friendly choice that helps others who are less fortunate. It really is a win-win.
2) Don't be afraid to throw away items that are very worn down or shouldn’t be reused by others. You can also take them to recycle centers so they can reuse the fabrics in future clothing.
3) Wear less used items: Leading up to the day of decluttering, pull out a few less used items and actually wear them for a day. See how it feels on your body and how you feel style-wise. This makes it much easier to decide on decluttering day because you have a recent memory of wearing that item instead of a guess.
4) Grab a friend: If you can, try and get a friend, family member, or spouse to help you with decluttering your clothes. Make sure that person is gentle but firm. If you share a closet with someone, see if they might be interested in decluttering their wardrobe as well.
5) Ask tough questions: These include asking yourself: How did I feel the last time I wore this? Is upkeep for this piece a pain? Is this a representation of my ‘fantasy self’? or will I actually wear it?

Most people learn about titles and title insurance when they when they buy or sell their first home. It is almost always a part of your closing costs on a home and covers research into public records to ensure that the title of the home is free and clear of any liens or conflicts (i.e. a long-lost relative with ownership claims on the property). ​Yes, it seems like a tedious step in the process (more paperwork!) but it is really an incredibly important step.

When it comes to cooking, are you team Gas Stove or Electric Stove?

Some people swear by the responsiveness and control of a gas stove, while others love the convenience, clean look, and easy maintenance of an electric stove.

The best choice often comes down to how you cook, what features matter most to you, and personal preference.
