The biggest lesson I learned from selling homes in 2023 ⬇️

People move despite what headlines say 😉

I’ve seen it all. “Interest rates soar.” “Home prices reach unprecedented heights.”

And while there is some truth found in each article, most seem to be sensationalized. Because here is the thing…

Priorities change. Some people are ready to trade fast paced city life for slow living and neighbors you recognize in the grocery store.

Life circumstances change. Babies are born and kids grow up and leave the nest. People bury their loved ones or walk away from a marriage in need of a fresh start.

They trade their big homes for homes with less maintenance so they have the time to do what they want to do.

The media has a laser focus on how the economy is affecting real estate and little to no regard for how life circumstances and personal priorities impact the market.

But no matter what they say, stats never tell the whole story. And the stories worth telling are straight from the mouths of people navigating their lives.

& I’m lucky enough to navigate through it with them.💕🏡

✨Closed!✨ congratulations Robert & Marlene on your new Arizona investment home!
Fun Fact: Robert is a RE/MAX agent in California! It’s an honor when another realtor who knows the intricacies of a real estate transaction, trusts me to represent them in their purchase & it is always fun to learn the differences in the way real estate is conducted from state to state.

I had so much fun helping them find the perfect home & getting to see the behind the scenes of their remodel & plans for this home for the future!
It was such a pleasure doing business with you Robert & Marlene! 🏡🔑

Before getting your real estate license, know this: Real estate isn’t as simple as showing a few houses and watching the dollars roll in.

When you become a real estate agent, you've got to hustle to make sales. Making it in real estate takes perseverance, quick thinking, out-of-the-box problem-solving on a moment’s notice, staying calm in emotionally-charged situations, a deep knowledge of the local market, staying on top of industry regulations, fine-tuned networking skills, a non-pushy sales mindset and so much more.

The opportunities are out there, but they won’t just happen.

Curious what a career in real estate looks like? Shoot me a message, I'd love to share about my experience.

Ok, real talk. 🗣️

Can we not believe everything your neighbor or that online valuation tool says about what your house is worth in March 2023?

Sure, the median home sale price was up 10.2% in 2022 over 2021, but this is a whole new year and a whole new market.

The only way to know for sure what your home is worth is by talking to a local agent who knows your neighborhood and can do the research on recent comps (keyword = recent) — and give you the real deal on where the market is this spring.

The sellers I’m working with right now love what they’re seeing, but the inflated numbers from your neighbor or the internet have got to go. 👋🏼

Message me if you’d like to see where your home comes in this month. I’m happy to run the numbers and provide an accurate & current market analysis of your home. 💌
