Staging can make a huge difference in how potential buyers view your home. But it’s not just about the furniture. It’s about the lighting in your home too!

These 4 ideas will help you show off the best features of your home to buyers.

-Switch light fixtures to trendy edison bulbs or get daylight LED bulbs to give your space a fresh look.

-Update those dated fixtures to something modern and trendy to attract buyers and help your space feel updated.

-Layer lighting to add texture to your space. For example, add lamps to a room with an overhead light to highlight your home’s features.

-Switch your light-blocking curtains to sheers so you can bring in more natural light–buyers love seeing lots of light!

P.S. Make sure you save this post so you’ll have it handy when you start staging!

Buying new construction can seem like a good way to avoid a lot of the headaches that come with older homes. With things built to your specifications and a brand new everything, you’ll pay a lot less in decor and maintenance costs.

But new builds do have some hidden costs that could end up putting a big dent in your wallet. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Understand that the model home is like the top trim package on a car–it has all of the upgrades. And those upgrades probably cost thousands of dollars. When you tour the model home, pay attention to the things that will definitely be in your house like the layout.

2. Know what’s included in the base model. Some base models come with appliances and all of your home necessities included while others come with just the bones of the house. It depends on the builder, but you need to know exactly what you’re walking into.

3. Read the warranty. Not all builder warranties are the same, and they will cover different things. Make sure you understand what will and won’t be covered so you aren’t surprised down the line.

4. Use your own agent. The agents working at the new construction are the builder’s agents–not yours. That means they work to get the builder the best deal possible, even at your expense. Protect yourself and get a fair deal by hiring your own buyer’s agent.

If you’re looking for an agent to make sure you get the best deal while buying new construction, just send me a DM!

Spending the summer floating on your very own pool with a nice, cold drink in hand might be your idea of heaven. And if that’s you, having a pool might be at the top of your house must-have list!

But there are some important questions you need to ask whenever you tour a house with a pool:

1. What type of pool will be best? The kind of pool you want will differ depending on your needs. If you have kids, an above-ground pool might be safest, for example.

2. What safety measures do you need? Make sure you know what safety measures come with the house and what you’ll need to install afterwards.

3. What is the maintenance? Some pools are super low maintenance, while others are not. Keep in mind that the size and type of pool will have a big impact on how much time/money you spend taking care of it.

4. Will home inspectors check the pool? As a feature of the property, it's wise to make sure the pool is in good condition before you buy. When you’re hiring an inspector, make sure to ask if they check the pool–if not, try to find a pool inspector who can check it out for you.

Pools can add a lot of value to a house and make relaxing during the summer a breeze. With these questions in your back pocket, you’ll be able to make sure you get the right house with the right pool for you!

P.S. Make sure to save this post for when you tour homes!

A home inspection is not like a pop quiz as in there’s no pass or fail. In fact, a home inspection doesn’t give a score to a home at all. Instead, a home inspection is an examination of the property and its condition. It will give you a report on all of the systems and components of the home and note anything that needs repair.

No pass or fail here!

That being said, sometimes an inspector will find problems with the property that need to be fixed before a lender will fund the mortgage.

If the repairs don’t get fixed, the deal could fall through because the buyer would be unable to pay for the home. That’s why home inspection contingencies are so common!

This is a very popular thought among buyers, but it’s a recipe for losing out on the house of your dreams.

In super competitive markets like ours, buyers should put their best foot forward and get their best offer on the table.

Right now, many houses are getting multiple offers leading to bidding wars, and low offers just aren’t even getting considered.

If you are really interested in a house and want to be the one to buy it, don’t put a low offer in.

Instead, work with your real estate agent to come up with the perfect offer that will appeal to the sellers!

Real estate is an amazing way to earn passive income. (aka making money while you relax at the beach!)

Here’s some of my favorite ways to earn passive income from real estate.

1. Buy and rent out a rental unit. Use a property management company for truly passive income!

2. Buy a vacation rental. Same thing here–you can hire out all the hard work.

3. Buy and hold land and sell years later. This one requires a bit of patience and forward thinking, but it’s about as passive as you can get!

4. Buy and lease out commercial space for businesses. This is a good one because business leases are usually for multiple years, which means less admin work.

Selling your home without an agent can feel like a really good idea. You don’t have to pay an agent’s commission as part of the closing costs, so what's not to like about that?

But the money you think you’re saving could end up costing you.

That’s because the stats have shown that homes sold by an agent sell for MORE money than those sold by owners.

Which means that you’ll probably end up losing out on money you could have easily gotten had you sold with an agent.

In our market, selling at the right price is more important than ever. And a real estate agent will be able to get your house ready for market and price it to attract the right buyers, getting you top dollar for your property.

Don’t miss out on the money you deserve by selling your home yourself.
