I’ve helped plenty of buyers find a home... Despite their differences, they all share ONE desire.

NO SURPRISES!!!

So if you’re thinking of selling in the next few months, here’s your gentle nudge to take care of a few things...

✓ Evaluate major home systems - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roof.
✓ Fix leaky faucets.
✓ Tighten loose cabinet pulls or door k***s.
✓ Paint dingy walls, doors, and ceilings.
✓ Freshen up the yard by trimming trees and shrubs and laying mulch.
✓ Deep clean carpets.
✓ Declutter, declutter, declutter.

These are just a few of the things I encourage my buyers to do. If you’re serious about prepping your home for buyers AND getting top dollar, drop a comment below or DM me, and I’ll send over my Home Prep Checklist for Sellers that will guide you step by step through the process.

Have other questions about selling or want personalized guidance? I’m here for that, too - just reach out!

Thinking of selling this November? Smart move. November is a great time to sell a home. Here’s why–

1) Less competition.

When inventory is low, your home may have an easier time catching the eye of prospective buyers. This means you're more likely to sell your home quickly and for a good price.

2) Motivated buyers.

If buyers are looking in November, chances are they’re eager to buy. They may need to move quickly due to a job relocation or other life event.

3) Year-end tax breaks.

Many of your selling costs can be deducted from your capital gains tax so long as you’ve lived in your home for two of the past five years and it’s your primary residence, not an investment property.

You can subtract things like staging costs, legal fees, escrow fees, advertising costs, and real estate agent commissions.

If you're ready to sell your home by year’s end, reach out to me today. I’d love to help you prepare your home for sale, market it to the right buyers, and get you the best possible price.

Mortgage Monday! 💵

As rates inch higher, more homeowners are buying down their interest rates. Curious about what that means and if it’s right for you? Here’s the rundown on mortgage rate buydowns:

A mortgage buydown is a way to lower your interest rate by paying discount points at closing. Discount points are a one-time, upfront fee.

Each point costs 1 percent of the mortgage. For example, one point on a $200,000 mortgage would cost $2,000.
Each point lowers the rate by 0.25 percent. So, one point would lower a mortgage rate from 6 percent to 5.75 percent for the life of the loan.

If you've got some extra savings, can afford it, and plan to stay in the home for a number of years...buying mortgage points may be a smart investment!
