“I want my life to be like making pottery. I want to enjoy it while it's happening, not just for where it might get me eventually.”― Emily Henry, Happy Place

This is how I feel about HOME.

As an agent, I talk about building long term wealth through real estate. And it's something I'm definitely passionate about.

But never underestimate how much homeownership is worth it, right here, right now.

I've seen it over and over again in my own life, with my own clients. But I'm not alone on this.

According to Home Bay, 90% of homeowners said they are happier since owning a home and 78% said they'd never rent again.

Homeowners rate their overall happiness as 7.5 out of 10 on average, compared to just 6.2 for leaseholders.

The stability homeownership brings, plus the privacy and having a place to really make your own are all factors that contribute to the overall happiness of homeowners.

In other words, building long term wealth while living in a home you love is simply a bonus!

We packed the open house when my sellers agreed to this...

They followed my listing prep checklist!

With many years of experience and listings sold, I’ve learned a few key ways to make your home POP on open house day.

Disclaimer: Your home might make headlines for the crowd it draws. (Kidding... kind of). Here’s a quick summary:

1) Cleaning police

Take no prisoners. Dust and wipe down every surface, corner, hidden nook, blind and fan. Invest in a steam cleaner. The before and after may shock you but, from personal experience, the satisfaction is unparalleled.

2) De-cluttering Dynamo

Bulky furniture or too many personal items can make a home appear smaller than it really is. Consider temporarily renting a storage unit for any excess belongings.

A tip I try to follow: If I haven’t used something in 6 months, I give it a second chance at life by donating.

3) Handyman Hero

That tool belt? It was made for you. Tighten the leaky faucet, fix the squeaky door hinge, and paint the spot on the ceiling.
The fewer issues a buyer can spot, the more appealing your home becomes.

4) Exterior Achiever

We shower, brush our teeth, shave, and dress nicely when meeting someone new. I want that same energy for the exterior of your home.

Crisp and clean windows, a manicured lawn, fresh mulch, and a few pops of seasonal flowers go a long way for our first impression!

5) Staging Magician

Staging has been shown to increase a home's sale price by 1-5% and decrease the time it spends on the market. (Say less!)
We’ll hire the pros for this and we’ll watch their magic unfold.

I’d love to send over my Seller Guide, it’s packed with tangible steps for getting your home listing-ready, including that checklist I mentioned! Comment 'Sell' and I'll send it your way!

It's time to go *Boujie on a Budget*

In all my time real-estating, I've seen some impactful upgrades that give the homes a fresh look AND are easy on the wallet.

These are a few of my favorites:

• Replace faucets and cabinet hardware. Estimated cost: $150-$400 for a kitchen faucet and $5-$25 per cabinet pull.

• Upgrade door k***s and hardware. Estimated cost: $28 per passage door and $31 per privacy lock.

• Swap builder-grade switch plates for decorative ones. Estimated cost: $5-25 per plate, depending on style.

• Refresh rugs. Check out Rugs USA or Loloi on Amazon. Both sites partner with designers, like Rifle Paper Co and Arvin Olano for elevated looks. Estimated cost: $189 for a 5x8 rug.

I'm a huge proponent of making small changed that go a lonnnng way.

Are you asking the wrong questions when it comes to buying or selling?

When it comes to the question, 'when is the right time to buy?' the answer is simple: the best time is when you are ready.

No matter the time of year, current interest rates, or opinions of others, only you can decide if a move is what you need. After all, moving is much more than a business transaction - it's the chance to move toward the person you want to be in a place that feels right to you.

So, don't stress about timing or what others say, and remember, there's never a 'bad' time to buy or sell when you know it’s right for you.
