If you’re breaking these rules, you’re probably scaring off buyers despite the competitive market. Here are things to BEWARE OF!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BEWARE OF: Buyer Math - 35% of homeowners would rather move to another home than remodel their current home. Buyers are looking for move in ready, they don’t want to have to do more work when they’re buying a house.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you avoid necessary repairs before listing your house, you’ll turn off a portion of buyers. Even offering a credit for the repairs is still a turn off for buyers. In the end it’s better to do the repairs before you list your house.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BEWARE OF: Overpricing - comps not matching up to neighborhood, what does the data show? See what other homes are listed in your price range - how does your home compare?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BEWARE OF: Mis-used Spaces - Formal Dining Rooms used as playrooms, an extra bedroom used as additional living space (or as a closet), a garage used as a room for your reptiles (this is a story for another day!), all of these may make your life in your home make more sense, but they're distracting and confusing to future buyers. Do your best to make each space in your home make sense so that buyers leave talking about how great your home is, not about the number of reptiles you have 🦎

It's time to say your goodbyes...to memories of your last transaction that still haunt you. 👻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe your last move wasn't ideal or perhaps you've heard horror stories from friends that make you think your dream home may never happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No more:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Unprofessional
Listing Photos - why did everyone else's listing get attention and yours was looked over? It may not have been staged and photographed in the best way! This won't happen again when you work with a modern agent who values modern marketing techniques.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Difficult to Reach Agents - You shouldn't have to wait for days to hear back from your agent or wonder if they're paying attention to your listing at all. You deserve an agent you're confident won't ghost you 👻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Feeling like a Number, Not a Person - Whether you decide to work with a top producing agent or one who prefers a smaller workload, look for an agent who has systems in place to keep the transaction running smoothly and one who answers their phone when you call!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Lack of Confidence in your Real Estate Decisions - Find an agent who takes the time to inform you of your options and gives you the time and space you need to make decisions. They should be easy to trust and not be pushy in any way!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5) Archaic Methods in a Modern Transaction - You want an agent who is well versed in modern social media
strategies. They should understand the nuances of the current (and ever changing) market and provide you with the most up to date information and resources!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now is the time to banish the ghosts of real estate past and say hello to a future home of your dreams 🏡

🎉Closing Day 🎉 Congratulations, Gina, on the sale of your house. This is just the first step to getting her closer to where she wants to be. Next week, we close on the purchase of her new house. I’m grateful every time someone trusts me to guide them through this process. Selling & Buying at the same time can be very stressful. It’s super important that you have an agent that knows how to create a strategy and timeline that allows the process to be as seamless as possible.

Market Shift?!! This has easily been the busiest 10 days of my entire real estate career! September is set to be my best month ever with a total of 7 closings in one month. I’m grateful to all my sellers that trust me to get maximum value for their home and to all my buyers for trusting me to negotiate the best deal on their behalf. If you were not able to buy or sell in the Spring market, your time is now!

Maybe you're listing your house soon or maybe you just want to enjoy your home a little more. Either way, a quick organizing and decluttering session in these three rooms will make your home feel bigger and more enjoyable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. The mudroom: From lack of storage to spacious laundry areas, the goal is to make this space functional! First, declutter what you no longer need: coats/shoes that are too small or worn, bags you didn't use in the last year, lone mittens or gloves, excess shoes (yes, there is such a thing!), etc. Then add a few baskets and trays for storage to organize utility items, extra towels, and cleaning products. Add a shoe rack, coat rack and basket for extra accessories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. The Home Office: Working from home is here to stay, and the home office space is becoming top priority for home buyers (and homeowners)! Shred paperwork you no longer need and remove anything that doesn't belong in the office to begin with (purchases that need returned, the kids' legos, etc). Invest in acrylic boxes and file folders for office storage. Create a docking station for electronics, a command center for keeping things that need to get done and add compartments to drawers for maximizing your space while also staying organized.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3, The Closets: One of the top reasons people move is to have more space. Closets that are only 50% full give the illusion that your home is spacious (and it makes it easier for you to find what you're looking for!) Pro Tip: Remove half of what is in your closet and then organize. Items to donate: anything you haven't worn in the last year, clothes that are itchy or uncomfortable, anything that doesn't fit, items you love but never actually wear, and so on. Then do the same for your shoes, purses, accessories, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think you can do it? I know you can! Spend just 30 minutes on each of these areas this week and enjoy a more simplified (ready to list) home by Friday!

How to make your home extra cozy this season 🛋

🍷 Pour yourself a glass of wine and make your favorite soup. Add a fresh loaf of bread and enjoy a warm meal around the table. Add music for a little extra ambience!

🕯 Light a candle or diffuse essential oils when you're watching TV, reading a book in bed, or even cleaning! Anything with a pumpkin, caramel, or cinnamon scent is extra festive!

🛏 Swap your summer throw blankets and pillows for some plaid or textured alternatives.

📺 Put Gilmore Girls or football games on repeat in your living room. Whether you sit and watch or just use it as background noise, it's sure to make it feel more like fall.

🤩 This is a little extra but I'm here for it - Try adding a towel warmer to your bathroom. It's cooling off outside and it would feel extra cozy to have a warm towel ready for you when you step out of the shower.

🪵 Stock up on firewood and make a fire a couple times a week. Simply sit around the fire and enjoy it or make dinner or a treat over it for some festive fall cooking.

Which one are you trying first to make your home feel like fall?
