Woo!! It’s a hot one this morning! 🥵
I’m not here to talk about how long my hair is getting (it’s at that awkward stage where it’s not quite long enough for a ponytail, so it just looks like a mess! 😂).
But seriously, being out in this heat today got me thinking. You know, not every property I help my clients sell has a traditional storybook ending. Sometimes, it feels a little more like the movie Old Yeller. It can be heartbreaking and heavy. That’s exactly why we have to deeply celebrate the new beginnings—and this is one of them.
This morning, I spent some time prepping a yard for mowing and listing pictures. And whew, I realized how out of shape I am! Oh my goodness! 🏃‍♀️💨
But all joking aside, sometimes life happens, and you find yourself completely overwhelmed or physically unable to do the things that showcase the pride your home once had. Especially when the decision to sell feels like it’s out of your control.
Please, don’t be afraid to reach out to me. My goal is simply to help you get it done so you can rest, breathe, and recover from whatever is causing you grief or pain.
When someone says, "Kay, I need to talk to you," I listen. I won’t rush you. I will let you take as much time as you need, and together, we will figure it out.
Whether it is happy times, sad times, good times, or bad times... I am here to help you when you are ready to take your next step. ❤️

Don’t make any big credit purchases during the homebuying process.

Caption: Your credit score plays a major role in getting approved for a mortgage, so it’s important to keep it stable while you’re in the process of buying a home. Avoid making large purchases, such as financing a car or opening new credit cards, until after closing. Even a small change in your credit profile can affect your loan approval or interest rate.
