Amber Spangler Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate Radically honest real estate for people who need more than just a transaction Big-picture?

Hailing from Newport News, Virginia, Amber traded coastal tides for Nebraska’s wide-open plains. Her path started at Denbigh High School, detoured through the Aviation Academy (where she discovered planes weren’t her passion), and landed with an Associate’s in Business Administration—fuel for her real estate fire. At home, husband Josh and their spirited daughter rule the roost alongside a lively

crew: Peebs the horse, two devoted dogs, and one opinionated cat. When she’s not closing deals, Amber is saddling up for a ride or lacing boots for a hike, chasing sunsets and fresh air. Her career kicked into gear managing tire sales at Firestone Complete Auto Care, sharpening customer service and leadership skills that now power seamless real estate transactions across Virginia, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Clients leave remembering Amber not just as their agent, but as the honest, upbeat partner who made the process fun. Build a life that sparks stories, raise remarkable kids, and keep thriving in an industry that never stands still.

Hopeful buyers: Your estimated monthly payment might be WAY off.
(🔖Save this post - it could *actually* save you thousands!)
Here's something many first-time buyers don't realize: The property tax amount you see on current listings? It's probably NOT what you'll actually pay.👇
When you buy a home, the property gets reassessed at your purchase price. But that new tax bill won't hit until next year!
🔢 Let's look at the numbers:
- If the current owner bought at $200k years ago
- And the current annual tax: $2,000
- But you buy at $550k
- The new estimated tax: $5,500
- That's about $290 more per month!*
(*Disclaimer: this amount will vary by location, and it can increase by hundreds each month)
🚨 Why This Matters:
- Your initial mortgage estimate might show the CURRENT tax amount
- Your payment could jump significantly when taxes adjust
- This catches so many buyers off guard in their housing budget
➗ Calculate the number for yourself:
Find a more accurate property tax estimate by searching for the listing's address on your county's property appraiser website. Then, head to bankrate.com to customize the property tax section to arrive at a more accurate monthly mortgage payment.

I know you know the last few years have been a competitive seller's market.

But recent data indicates that the housing market \*might\* be moving toward a more balanced state where neither buyers nor sellers have the upper hand.

Are we really returning to market balance?

Here are the trends I'm keeping my eye on:
⚖️ Inventory is growing
⚖️ Interest rates are lowering
⚖️ Homes are beginning to sit on the market longer
⚖️ In some instances, sellers are receiving fewer offers

The verdict? Lower mortgage rates are ushering in a new wave of buyers previously locked out of the housing market.

BUT, it's important to note that all of this is happening on a national level.

Local market variation and economic factors will vary.

Send me a DM to chat about how the market is looking in MSP or Hampton Roads and I'll share my thoughts.

When I ask my first time buyer clients what their biggest hurdles to homeownership are, this is what I hear most:

👉 "I don't know if I'm ready to take on the expenses of owning a home"

👉 "How do I find the best loan and lender for my situation?"

👉 "How will I compete with other buyers out there?"

Hearing these questions and friction points over and over, I wanted to compile a resource first time buyers could reference as they explore homeownership.

Enter: The 90 Days to Homeowner Guide

It's packed with helpful tools like:
✓ Debt to Income Calculator
✓ Lender Interview Questions
✓ Showing Checklist
✓ Needs vs. Wants List
✓ Lender Questionnaire
✓ Home Search Process Breakdown

This one is special. I had a lender partner reach out to me and tell me that they have a buyer that has a need with special requirements around it and a limited time to find the right home. We went out on Monday and saw this home, and through several days of negotation, we are offically in contract.

Congratulations to my buyer, lets get you home!
