SELLER: The market is hot! Shouldn’t I list my home over market value to take advantage?⁣
⁣
ME: Your home IS beautiful, and I’m positive I can get it sold at a price you’ll be satisfied with. But I wouldn’t recommend listing it over market value. Remember, your buyers have an agent, too—and they’re really good at sniffing out overpriced homes.⁣
⁣
---⁣
⁣
With the market how it is, I’m having conversations like this on repeat—I get it! You want overflowing pockets, but trust me, overpricing your home isn’t the way to make that happen. ⁣
⁣
If you do, you’ll have:⁣
⁣
Less foot traffic⁣
Fewer offers⁣
Hesitant agents⁣
Skeptical buyers ⁣
⁣
Selling soon? Send me a DM, and let’s chat about what your home is worth. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised—even without an off-target mark-up. ⁣

REAL ESTATE SCHOOL 101: NEW BUYER RULES 🤓 Swipe for an overview of the "getting started" process!

Here are 5 rules to follow when it comes to the house hunting process!

1. Get pre-approved with a local lender: Staying local is so important when it comes to financing your home. Need a recommendation? Let me know!

2. Don't agent hop - find someone to represent YOU! As a buyer, you can hire an agent to work on your behalf at no extra cost. Save yourself the headaches and find someone you like before starting the process so you can skip the agent hopping. Choose someone you like and someone you trust so you can look to them for advice on all things home buying.

3. Don't start your search at the top of your budget - Whether you're in a competitive market or not, you're going to want to start your home search well below the top end of your budget. If you start too high, those houses might not be realistic for your budget because in a market like today, many are selling for over the list price and you won't be able to compete.

4. Understand how online listing sites work - this goes hand in hand with agent hopping. If you contact an agent on an online real estate site thinking it's the listing agent and they'll have all the answers, you're probably mistaken! Online listing sites have designated agents who are paying to be posted there. Keep that in mind, especially if you are working with an agent already!

5. Understand the general flow of the entire process - this is what my buyer consultations are for! Want to get the entire overview? Let's chat!

2021 Market Trends💻⁣
⁣
I'm often asked what I expect will happen in the upcoming months in the real estate market. While I don't have a crystal ball, here are a few reasons you can expect 2021 to remain off the charts:⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
1. Limited inventory. Many areas are experiencing housing shortages. Having more buyers than sellers creates a strong market, and typically offers at or above asking. ⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
2. Under-construction. All around the US, homes are currently being built by MILLIONS. ⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
3. Record equity markets and stimulus money. Not only does it make people wealthier, but it also makes them feel richer. Moods often fuel markets as much as money does. ⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
4. High demand! As millennials come of age to buy, demand continues to increase exponentially. ⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
5. The optimism of spring! Spring markets fuel optimism, hope, and renewal. ⠀⁣⁣
