❌ Real estate agents and mortgage brokers are NOT the same! ❌

So, what’s the difference? 🤔

Real estate agents stick with you throughout the home buying process, from beginning to end. 🏠 They should be able to provide you with insights on the local market and use their real estate expertise to help you find a home that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Mortgage brokers, on the other hand, only deal with the financial side of a real estate transaction. 💰 They represent buyers to help them find the best deal when it comes time to shop for a home loan, but they are not responsible for loaning any money. They’re simply there to help you secure a loan and provide guidance regarding which loan products make the most sense for you.

DID YOU KNOW: The average homeowner gained $64,000 in equity over the past 12 months? 🤯

So, what's the driving factor here? Home prices are rising due to high demand and low inventory in the real estate market, which means that homeowners are building equity a lot faster than you might expect, resulting in a higher net worth and more opportunities for homeowners. 💰

We are always looking for ways to improve the communities we live in and serve - and Windermere's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts do just that. Guided by our four pillars - community, home ownership, leadership, and culture - Windermere has been focused on creating DEI initiatives aimed at making our organization more diverse and homeownership more equitable. Some of those initiatives include:

🔹 The Sam Smith "Hi Neighbor" Homeownership fund, which aims to help low-to-moderate-income home buyers who have been historically underserved by traditional lenders attain their first home.

🔹 The Aspire Internship program was created to help provide support, mentoring, and skill-building to students from historically underrepresented or marginalized groups and/or those with lived experiences with housing insecurity.

🔹 The WIN Scholarship Program, which was created after recognizing the need to build and support a diverse community of new agents.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, professional photos can increase home views by up to 61%.

Considering most buyers begin their home search on the internet, it's critical that you make sure your home photographs well. 🖼 You can do this by ensuring your property is properly staged, both inside and out. This includes cleaning up clutter, removing personal family photos, and even doing some light landscaping.

Timing is always important when buying or selling a home. ⏰ In the upcoming months, the housing marketing will likely see a lot of increases in housing inventory, mortgage rates, and home prices. ⬆️

The effects of these upticks can be seen on both the seller's and buyer's end. For example, an increase in housing inventory is great for buyers because they'll have more options to pick from during their hunt for the right home. Similarly, price appreciation is a welcome prediction for sellers, as they'll be able to sell their home for more money. Additionally, rising mortgage rates may push buyers AND sellers to act more quickly than they normally would in order to get the best deal before rates go up further.
