Do you know when you might need your agent to pull sales data on similar homes (aka comparables or “comps”) for a property? Here are a few scenarios: ⁣
⁣
🏡 You’re preparing to sell. ⁣
We can help you set an ideal list price based, in part, on what homes like yours have sold for in the recent past. ⁣
⁣
⁣
🏡 You’re thinking about buying. ⁣
We’ll use comps to assess whether or not a home’s asking price is reasonable and help you come up with a data-driven offer. ⁣
⁣
🏡 You're taking out a home equity loan. ⁣
Comparables can help you estimate your home’s value — and if an appraisal comes in low, you can use comps to contest it. ⁣
⁣
Need some comparable sales data for your property? Don’t hesitate to reach out! ⁣

⁣
🏠 Lifestyle: Are there hobbies you want to pursue in your new home? Do you want to be close to friends and family? Think about your ideal lifestyle and how your home can support it. ⁣

Fresh flowers are a classic real estate industry trick for better home showings and open houses! ⁣
⁣
Here are a few tips to keep cut flowers fresh longer: ⁣
⁣
🌼Start with a clean vase. Use diluted bleach and give your vase a good scrub to get rid of any bacteria before you add your arrangement. ⁣
⁣
🌸Add flower food. If you don’t have any on hand, you can provide nutrients by mixing 2 tbs lemon juice, 1 tbs sugar, and 1⁄2 tsp bleach into your vase water. ⁣
⁣
🌼Snip stems and remove leaves. Cut stems at a 45-degree angle and remove any leaves that will be submerged. This prevents bacterial growth and aids water and nutrient absorption. ⁣
⁣
🌸Replace water and recut stems. Trim stems every 3-5 days and add fresh water daily to keep the vase clean and flowers hydrated. ⁣
⁣
🌼Avoid heat and direct sunlight. Watch for overexposure, which can dry out flowers prematurely. ⁣
