Why the First Two Weeks on Market Matter Most

The market pays attention early.

Quick version:
✔️ New listings get the most views
✔️ Early activity sets momentum
✔️ Overpricing hurts first impressions
✔️ Adjustments later don’t hit the same

The goal is strong interest from day one.

Questions? I’m always happy to help.

Jolene has taken enough from us. She will NOT be taking my clients too. 🤣🏡

So if you’re thinking about buying or selling…
🎶 please don’t take my clients just because you can. 🎶

What Makes a Home Feel “Right” to Buyers

Buyers decide emotionally first, then justify it logically.

Quick version:
✔️ Strong first impression and curb appeal
✔️ Natural light and easy flow
✔️ Clean, well-cared-for spaces
✔️ A home that feels comfortable, not forced

Most buyers know within minutes if a home feels right, even if they can’t explain why yet.

Questions? I’m always happy to help.

Step 6: Under Contract to Closing (The Part Nobody Explains)

Once you’re under contract, the work isn’t done - it just changes.

Quick version:
✔️ Inspections happen early
✔️ Appraisal and lender steps take time
✔️ Title work and repairs can pop up
✔️ Communication keeps it on track

This stage is about keeping the deal moving forward smoothly.

Are you a hometown hero and don’t even know it? 🏡

If you’re a teacher, healthcare professional, first responder, law enforcement officer, military member, veteran, or school employee, you may qualify for up to 5% of your loan amount (up to $35,000!) to help with your down payment and closing costs.

If homeownership has felt just out of reach, this program could make all the difference.

Reach out to Melinda or me. We’d be happy to see if you qualify!

Additional Dwellings are becoming more and more popular so make sure you check your zoning!

Accessory Structures Still Have Rules

Garages, sheds, workshops, and similar structures can add value to your property—but they must comply with zoning regulations.

Requirements may include:
✔ Setbacks
✔ Maximum size
✔ Placement on the lot
✔ Lot coverage limitations

Checking first can save time and costly revisions later.

Before building your next accessory structure, contact the Zoning Department to make sure your plans meet local requirements.

Step 5: Offers, Counteroffers, and Negotiations

An offer is more than a price - it’s terms.

Quick version:
✔️ Price, closing date, and financing all matter
✔️ Inspections and concessions are negotiable
✔️ Strong terms can beat a higher number
✔️ Strategy depends on your goals

My job is to protect your interests and negotiate smart.

Step 4: Showings and Feedback (What to Expect)

Showings can feel stressful, but they’re part of the process.

Quick version:
✔️ Keep the home clean and accessible
✔️ Expect feedback - good and bad
✔️ Feedback helps us adjust strategy
✔️ Early activity is a strong signal

Showings are data. We use that data to get you sold.
