Supply and demand will always play a major role when selling your house. Even today, the demand for homes and condos is still greater than the supply due to decades of underbuilding and millennials aging into their prime homebuying years. If you’re a homeowner planning to sell, DM me today so we can discuss why your home is still in demand.

Buying and selling at the same time. It’s not for the faint of heart, but my clients do it all the time. And in the end, they’re all smiles!

So today, I’m sharing my top tips for maintaining your sanity if you’re staring down both sides of a real estate transaction.

1. Involve an agent in the early stages of buying and selling.
2. Consider options for temporary housing. While the stars may align and you may not need them, a plan for where you’ll go in between selling and buying will smooth the rough edges of the process.
3. Get “paperwork ready” to buy and “house ready” to sell. Before you’re up to your eyeballs in showings on either side, get pre-approved and make any necessary repairs to your home. You don’t want to be scrambling on either.
4. Say yes to seeing “just listed” homes. If your search has stalled, be willing to drop everything when your agent calls with a new listing. The sooner you can put eyes on a home, the sooner you’ll be out of limbo.
5. Trade dollars for a quick closing. It may be worth a buyer’s home warranty to get a 30-day closing. Empower your agent to negotiate a quick closing so you can step into your forever home as soon as your home closes.

Selling and buying is a big deal, but that’s why I’m here. Save this one for later!

Searching for homes online? So last year.

When you’re ready to make the biggest purchase of your life, don’t leave it to behemoth online platforms that know nothing about you or your dream neighborhood.

Get personal with an agent who knows inside and out the coffee shops, beaches, green spaces, dog parks, and tree-lined streets you've fallen in love with!

What’s more? I can even set you up on an automated search just like those online platforms — only better. Here’s how it works:

1. Send over your non-negotiables (bed and bath count, zip code or neighborhood, school system, etc.), and I’ll create an auto-search with your parameters.
2. When a listing drops that fit what you’re looking for, you’ll get an email (and likely a phone call from me!) delivered to your inbox with info about what could be your next home.
3. See something you like? I'll drop everything, and we’ll go have a look!

You’ve got nothing to lose (except endless scrolling online!) and everything to gain. Send me a DM, and I’ll have your search set up in minutes.

5 Reasons to list your home with me in 2023!

#1: Real estate is my obsession.

I admit it: Real estate is my obsession. Even when I’m “off the clock,” I’m thinking, planning, and dreaming all things real estate! And that’s great news for clients. They get the benefit of my constant attention and drive to sell, sell, sell! When your home is mine, I won’t stop until it’s sold and you’re 100% satisfied.

#2: I love Maui.

Maui..... swoon. I love it. And when you love something, it’s contagious - you can’t help but talk about it! Buyers checking out your home will hear from me, either directly or via their agent, why this island, your neighborhood, and your house is the perfect place for them to start the next chapter in their life.

#3: I’ve got a few seller tricks up my sleeve.
Can't let all my secrets out on this post!

#4. I'm obsessed with negotiating you the best deal.
You need a person with a strong backbone and proven track record of being able to negotiate successfully. Beyond money, other important items of negotiation can be seller rent-backs, furnishings, contract timelines, and more.

#5. I am at the top 1% of agents at my company.

Speaking of a proven track record, I think this point speaks for itself. Out of 85,000 agents nationally I am consistently in the top 1000 agents at my company! What this means for you is reliability, network, know-how, and track record of success.

Send me a DM so we can chat about listing your home in 2023. I’d love to hear what you’re thinking and see if I can help — no strings attached!

Happening NOW: Interest rates, simplified.

An interest rate is the “price” a lender charges a borrower for a loan. Just like a pair of jeans at your favorite store, every loan has a price tag. That price tag is the interest rate. But instead of dollars and cents, the price of borrowing a sum of money is a percentage of the total amount borrowed.

Interest rates rise and fall daily based on loan type (rates are typically lower for shorter-term loans), what the Feds are doing (the U.S. central bank), and, yes, inflation.

Want to run the numbers to see what you could afford this January, or have other questions about buying or selling? DM me! I'd love to hear from you.
