Keeping it Real in Real Estate with Kim

In case you haven’t noticed, Days on Market (DOM) has been increasing lately in our area and we’ve got a lot of frustrated sellers & agents! It’s tough in a market, no doubt. If you’ve been thinking about moving into a new home but need to sell your existing home in order to purchase a new one, this market might be scary and that’s completely understandable. But don’t let it stop you from making the move to your dream home, there is a solution for you and it’s an absolutely GREAT TIME TO BE A BUYER! I know a lender who offers a program to access the equity in your existing home in as little as 10 days, with limited closing costs and no monthly payments required. This allows you to make a non-contingent offer on a new home! It never hurts to inquire to see if this might be just what works for you right now. Call or text me and let’s see what we can do! You could be in your new home before the holidays and we all know that will be here before we know it. 😀

Did you know that more than 80% of Americans still think you must have 20% of the purchase price to put down in order to buy a home?!! OMGosh is this what’s holding you back from becoming a first time homeowner or buying up to a bigger home, because it’s just not true! There are so many financing options, programs, grants, etc available to get you in the door. Some with as little as 3-5% down. I have several savvy lenders that are ready and willing to see how they can make it work for you. It costs nothing to inquire. The market is great for buyers, if you’ve been thinking or dreaming, hit me up, I’ll do my best to make it happen for you!!

When you’re choosing a REALTOR®️ to serve you during a real estate transaction, what do you consider the most valuable thing you can get from them?

Below are my priorities, the PILLARS OF VALUE that I consider important to provide all my clients.

1. Expertise- I have 6 years of experience with satisfied clients and consistently take classes and earn certifications to educate my self in every aspect of my job, so that I may better serve my clients. I listen and learn from the successes and failures of other agents. Knowledge is always power.
2. Accessibility- I am without exception available to my clients. I answer their calls and texts, day or night. I have happily run out of my own home in the middle of the night to take care of client related issues when necessary. I am physically available for my clients to attend showings, inspections, vendor appointments, closings and wherever else I think my presence would be in their interest or wherever they might request me.
3. Loyalty- my job as my clients’ agent is to do everything ethically possible, within my control, to negotiate a transaction most favorable to them, and them alone. I will use every means within the scope and limits of my profession to do so. I have taken several Real Estate Negotiation classes to hone this skill because I believe it can be the most important part of the transaction for my clients.
4. Kindness- I believe everyone deserves to realize the joy of homeownership and to have a satisfying experience. Many people enter into a buying experience with no knowledge of the process. I believe part of my job is educating them as we go along and making them feel comfortable with any decision they make. No one should feel rushed or pushed into making decisions they don’t fully understand or are hesitant about. Likewise sellers are often having to make tough decisions at a very stressful time in their life. Many are emotionally attached to their home and some are not necessarily relocating by choice. Patience and kindness are important parts of a good working relationship during such a momentous transaction.

If you find value in these things and you’re considering buying or selling a home, call, text or message me or perhaps pass my name on to someone who might benefit from an agent like me. 😀

Thank you.

I totally understand the desire to just reach out and slap certain others sometimes. lol

Marine biologists watched something surprising under the sea. While studying reefs, they filmed octopuses reaching out and slapping nearby fish. The fish did not run away because they were being hunted. Instead, the octopuses seemed to hit them for no clear reason. The scientists called it random slapping, and they said it looked like spite or boredom more than any normal animal need.

The researchers noticed the slaps happened in different places and at different times. The octopuses did not gain food or shelter from the action. Sometimes one octopus would slap a fish and then hide. Other times it would do it again a little later. From these patterns, the biologists guessed the behavior was a sign of a smart animal that can feel annoyed, play, or get bored, not just an animal acting only to survive.

This finding makes people think about how clever octopuses are. It reminds us animals do strange things, and not everything they do has a clear purpose for survival. Scientists still want to learn more, but watching octopuses slap fish gives a small, funny window into the hidden lives of sea creatures.

If you’re on the fence about buying, it could be costly to continue waiting. There are many loan products and ways to negotiate contracts to get a mortgage payment you’re comfortable with. Let’s talk.

2019: "I'm waiting for the market to crash."
2020: "Pandemic! See? I was right!"
2021: "Prices are insane. I'll wait."
2022: "Rates are too high. I'll wait."
2023: "Still too expensive."
2024: "New administration..."
2025: Still renting. Still waiting. Still wrong.

Meanwhile, the "panic buyers" of 2019?
They own homes worth $95k more.
They've built six years of equity.
They're not paying rent.

The crash you're waiting for?
Even if prices drop 15%, that's $417k → $354k.
Still $32k more than 2019.
You're still behind.

And when prices DO drop?
Every "patient" buyer floods the market.
That $354k house gets 15 offers.
Bidding war pushes it to $375k.
You waited six years to overpay anyway.

One of you is winning. Hint: Not you.

Every year you wait costs:

Appreciation you'll never recover
Equity you'll never build
Rent you'll never get back
