Seems like ages ago that you made that very first call to your agent. It’s been a whirlwind, but now, you’re in!

Well, okay, technically, you’re in. That kick-up-your-feet feeling? That’s still a few dozen boxes away.

To keep you focused and motivated amid the cardboard chaos, here’s a checklist for after the big move. Cross these off one by one, and you’ll be kicking back in no time!

1. Call the utility companies to get everything up and running in your name.
2. Do a slow walkthrough taking notes and photos of any tasks, repairs, or cleaning you need to do.
3. Keep a running list of items you need from the store.
4. Change the locks on the exterior doors and reset any remote access codes.
5. Set up the bedrooms first and unpack the kitchen second. Dinner tonight? Takeout. 100% takeout.
6. Introduce your four-legged friend to their new world. Walk the boundaries of your property, and be patient with his exploring.
7. Change your address at the post office and order “I’ve moved” cards to let your family and friends know your new address.
8. Meet the neighbors and ask for referrals for any service providers you need. Be sure to ask about social media groups related to the neighborhood.

The first few days after move-in day are so exciting…and exhausting. Don’t worry — it’s only temporary!

If a kitchen reno is top of mind this November, you might as well explore all your options! Here are a few smart home hacks you may want to use as inspiration from adventurous others who’ve gone before you:

- Consider garages for your appliances. Cabinets to hide appliances are a sleek and smart way to keep your kitchen looking and feeling oh-so tidy.
- Consider installing a pot filler. You can fill pots with water right at the stove, or even install a pot filler above your pet's water bowls for ultimate convenience!
- Put that island to work for all things, including as a home base for appliances like a dishwasher, especially if your sink is also on the island).
- Don’t put that cutting board away — give it its own drawer right over the trash can, for Pete’s sake!

Ever heard of the BRRRR method? (AKA – Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)

It is an investment strategy that’s designed for flipping distressed property, renting it out, then cash-out refinancing it to fund future investments. It can be a smart and savvy way to build your rental portfolio and enjoy some not-too-shabby passive income.

Wondering how to get started? Send me a DM — I’m happy to help!

Of all the expenses that come with buying a home, prepaid costs can sometimes take buyers by surprise. (And while we all love a good surprise, you definitely don't want one in the buying process!). So, here's what to know:

Prepaid costs are upfront cash payments you make at closing for various mortgage expenses before they’re actually due. Funds are held in escrow until needed. They include:

- Initial escrow deposit
- Homeowner’s insurance premiums
- Real estate property taxes
- Mortgage interest

Prepaids are separate from closing costs which include the title search, appraisal, and cost of processing the loan.

Curious about what your bottom line would be if you purchased a home? Want to buy but don't want surprises? DM me, and let’s crunch the numbers!

As we prep our homes for guests this time of year, the kitchen is the room that’s top of mind for many.

🛁 But another room not to forget is your bathroom space guests use!

A welcoming bath is one of the top ways to make your guests feel comfortable and right at home - and adding a seasonal touch for the holidays is an easy way to go the extra mile.

So here’s how you can bring the ‘warm & cozy’ feeling of fall into your bath:

🍂 Bring in the colors of fall with seasonal foliage in decorative vases or along the vanity
🕯 Add warmth & the scents of the season through glowing candles and autumn-inspired soaps
🎃 Hang seasonal artwork and wall decor with your favorite fall messages or color themes
🍁 Use festive shower curtains, rugs, and towels to complete the look

Use one or all of these decor tips for a fall-inspired bath your guests will love this holiday season.

And if you don’t have a dedicated guest bath, that’s something I can help you find in your next home! 🔐🏡

Ready for some real talk about getting a mortgage this fall?

As rates inch higher, more homeowners are buying down their interest rates. Curious about what that means and if it’s right for you? Here’s the rundown on mortgage rate buydowns:

- A mortgage buydown is a way to lower your interest rate by paying discount points at closing. Discount points are a one-time, upfront fee.
- Each point costs 1 percent of the mortgage. For example, one point on a $200,000 mortgage would cost $2,000.
- Each point lowers the rate by 0.25 percent. So, one point would lower a mortgage rate from 6 percent to 5.75 percent for the life of the loan.

If you've got some extra savings and can afford it, buying mortgage points may be a smart investment.

Looking to buy but hesitant because you don’t want to pay today’s 🏡 interest rates?

If you’re comparing rates now to last year, I understand why you’re wondering if you should wait.

But I also want you to consider this :

If you put off buying to avoid high rates, you’re also putting off:

👉 Building long-term wealth through owning real estate

👉 Creating equity for the future in home appreciation over time

👉 Ensuring stable mortgage payments compared to fluctuating rent rates

Even with higher interest rates, there are benefits to buying right now!

So, instead of looking at rates alone, let’s crunch the numbers and see what your monthly payment is and goals for the future are.

DM me to get started, and I’d be happy to chat about what buying might look like for you!

🏠 👻 It takes a lot to scare a Realtor! 👻 🏠And I’ve seen some spooky things in my day…

From bizarre homes to “WTH is this?” decor, you just have to laugh sometimes!

But today, I hope that all the strange things you encounter are just silly costumes and spirited movies.

I’ll keep the s**g carpet and questionable wallpaper for myself 😆 😆 😆

So, here’s to a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Layers on top of layers bring a whole new level of coziness to this look!

✨ And if you’re shy about mixing patterns or textures, look no further than this inspiration ✨

It’s possible to make a statement with just a few choice colors like black, white, cream, and gray.

From there, you can mix chevron with stripes and chunky knits to create a cohesive look that’s just the right amount of playful!

And when choosing a monochromatic style, you have so much room moving forward 🎨

Add a pop of a bright color like red to go bold in December or a soft lilac to get ready for spring.

The options are endless and the style is effortless. Wouldn’t you agree?!
