The Home Buying Scaries are nothing to fear when your local modern agent is here 👻

I’m about to drop some knowledge that’s going to help you through this *spooky* season of real estate!

Here are my top three tips to make home buying less scary!

👻 Banish the ghosts of pre-approval!

This tends to be one of the scariest parts for buyers but it shouldn't be! When you work with a great local lender (tag a local lender you love) who can walk you through everything you need to know, you'll feel 10X more confident, I promise!

Get all your pre-approval pumpkins in a row before you start the official house hunt!

🎃 Don't look for *PERFECT* Look for Perfect *FOR YOU*

I'm going to break it to you right now. You probably won't find a house that checks *EVERY* box. Before you even start looking at houses, sit down and write a list of the non-negotiables: Things you 100% want in your next home.

Maybe it has to be in *insert local school district*, or maybe the flow of the layout is really important to you.
Whatever your must-haves are, know them ahead of time. Same with the deal breakers. This will help you check the highest priority boxes and know what you are willing to accept or change later.

📈 Know the market you're buying in (your agent will educate you)!

It's important to know what's happening in the market before you find the house you love. Is it still a seller's market? How quickly are homes selling? How competitive is it for buyers? How should you set your home search budget based on those factors?

The right time to buy is when it's the right time for YOU. When you can figure out your finances, home must haves and market knowledge ahead of time, it will remove all the home buying scaries!

If the home buying process still has you feeling like you’re lost in a corn maze 🌽🌽🌽, comment CORN MAZE and I'll send you a copy of your free Future Homeowner's Club guide!

If school is starting up again in your house, it may be time to refresh your homework station!

A magazine worthy school room is fun, but not practical for most of us. And the truth is, all our kids really need is a space set up with intention!

It could be a corner of a room, a cabinet in the dining room, or a small desk in their own room!

Instead of giving you a whole "to-do" list, I thought I'd make it fun!

Swipe to see your Bingo card and aim to complete just five of these so you and your kids are set up for success this school year!

Biggest mistakes you're making with working with an agent, revealed! 🫣

The truth is, I don't expect you to know how to work with an agent. Not if this is your first time using one and not if you've moved 12 times before!

My goal is to give you an awesome real estate experience from first DM to closing day and beyond, and I know the best way to make that happen is to make sure we're all on the same page!

Me, 2 years ago...
Understanding contracts ✔️
How to negotiate terms ✔️
What to bring to closing ✔️
How to use social media to build a biz I love 🫣

But wow, have I changed! It might seem silly to some to see me showing up here, bringing you with me to showings, like I'm some kind of influencer 😎

But the truth is, I've learned the power of social media and how it can help me connect with my community.

I want to help influence my community in real life AND on this app! I want to help you understand the ever changing market & to make smart real estate decisions & to know what local places serve the best MARGS. (Spoiler alert, it's LOCAL PLACE)

Showing up here isn't about likes or views. It's how I share what I know (real estate, upcoming neighborhoods, what time the LIVE MUSIC starts at THIS PLACE).

I'm a local business, just like my favorite coffee shop, Blend Coffee & Cocktails.
So I treat my social media as my very own storefront. A place to have conversations & create community.

My business is rooted in relationships 💕

I don't want to convince you that I should be your agent. Instead, I use this free platform so you can decide for yourself if I might be a good fit when you need a good agent.

And in the meantime, you can save my posts or share them with your friends!

My effort is focused here so I can build real relationships, not spend my time cold calling just to get hung up on. Apologetically selling isn't for me but genuinely helping you (and entertaining you!) is!

So thank you for being here, in my corner of the internet! It means the world to me and my business!

PS: My DM's are always open! For real estate questions, for community questions, for a great recommendation on where to get the best slice of pizza or one of the best lattes! ☕️

The term "seller's market" has slowly begun fading from clickbait headlines and the reason is clear..

So does that mean now is a good time for you to buy? Let me be clear: the only time it's a bad time to buy is if you overspend.

So if the interest rates fall back to 2% and you can purchase a home below asking price, it's a bad time to buy if you can't afford it.

And if rates rise to 8% and you purchase at home above asking, it's a bad time to buy if you can't afford it.

You may be thinking, "yea, but what about my situation?" and if so, DM me and let me know you have specific questions! I'd love to chat with you and hear more about where you're at in life and help you come up with a home buying plan you feel good about!

Let me slip into something a little more comfortable...

✨Comes back wearing 2.8% interest rates✨

I know we ✨think✨ we were much more comfortable with buying a home when the rates were lower, but do you remember how competitive the market was? Being one of 20 offers every time was NOT fun.

If you want to buy a house right now, the truth is, you don't need lower interest rates. What you do need is CLARITY around the current market to figure out what makes the most sense for you financially.

What is happening in YOUR local market? What are the interest rates, yes, but also, what is the current home appreciation rate in your area? These are clarifying questions worth talking to your agent about so that you can make educated real estate decisions.

If you want to buy a home but still have questions like these or more, DM me and let's set up a buyer consultation! It's laid back yet super informative so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence! ✨

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to my Client, Chellette! 🫶🏼

Chellette and I first met in May of 2022, we had a buyer consult and put a plan in place for her to be able to be prepared to purchase a home. Her first time was not the greatest experience - she was terrified that she would have that exact same experience. I assured her it would not be that way again and we would make it as smooth as possible.

February 2023 came around and Chellette and I had remained in contact since our first time meeting, she reached out and let me know she was officially ready!

We seen many many homes but nothing was grabbing her attention. We seen this gem, wrote our first and only offer and we were accepted! After inspections, we found some repairs that needed to be done and were going to be costly $$ - we were able to negotiate the repairs to be done and she wouldn't have to walk away from the property that she absolutely loved!

Yesterday, we got to sit at the closing table and she became a homeowner once again! This time, an absolute better experience from her first time, and I couldn't be happier that I was able to do that for her and her daughter. She did it! Help me congratulate her on her new home 🏡

How to save up for a home without giving up your daily latte (I promise!) 🧋

🌮 Eat at home - As much as possible, eat at home. If cooking isn't your thing, keep your meals simple and easy to throw together. If you don't have an airfryer, invest in one! You can make almost everything in there.

❌ Do a "no spend" challenge - this can be for a short period of time and it can be flexible! You can choose to not purchase anything from your phone for a week or only purchase things on Sundays (put them in your cart then wait to purchase...you may change your mind!) Get creative and mix it up...you'll be shocked how quickly your savings can grow when you eliminate even one purchase habit!

📓 Keep track of your expenses - this is where flexibility comes in! Don't want to give up your daily latte? No problem! Just budget it in. You *may* have to give up something else temporarily so that you don't go over budget. When you track your expenses, you gain freedom and flexibility with your savings AND spending!

🎨 Monetize a skill on the side - do you love painting portraits or organizing closets? Consider telling your friends and beginning a side hustle! It doesn't have to be a long term commitment and no branding is required...just bless people with your skill set and save the money you earn for your home!

💰 Prioritize your savings account - above all else, give your savings account your undivided attention. Check in on it weekly and be intentional about putting money in it consistently. Set incremental goals and reward yourself (with something fun and within your budget, of course!) when you hit each milestone.

Your dream of homeownership is within reach...keep your eyes on the prize and don't give up! Happy saving!

Plot twist: You're nervous you won't be pre-approved to buy a home but end up being approved for a LOT more than you ever planned on spending. 🤯

This happens more often than you think. Because lenders consider more than just your credit score, it's not uncommon to find out you're pre-approved for thousands and thousands of dollars more than you ever dreamed of spending.

So what should you do?

It's tempting to throw caution to the wind and start looking at homes near your top dollar, but I always remind my clients to think about their lifestyle and spending priorities.

For example, do they go on an annual vacation with their family they need to save for throughout the year? Do they get their hair and nails done each month? Do they spend money on entertainment like going to the movies or trying new restaurants every weekend?

It may seem silly, but these "little" expenses add up every month, and if you really don't want to give them up anytime soon, you need to give yourself some margin in your budget so that you can keep up with your extra expenses.

Moving into a big, beautiful house becomes a lot less exciting when you can't afford to do anything outside of it. Your new home should bring FREEDOM, not make you feel captive to your monthly payment.

If you're planning on moving later this year, start making a list today where you track your expenses, both necessities and extras. This way, when you start the buying process, the budget YOU feel comfortable with is clear and you can buy a home with confidence!
