When buyers walk into a home, they're forming opinions within seconds. 🏡

While square footage and upgrades matter, it's often the small details that create a strong first impression. A welcoming front door, bright lighting, fresh landscaping, a clean space, and even the scent of a home can influence how buyers feel as they tour.

The good news? Many of these are simple, affordable updates that can make a big impact before listing your home.

If you were touring a home today, what's the first thing you'd notice? 👇

🪟 Summer home tip: take a few minutes to check your windows! Look for cracking caulk around the frame, and make sure the small weep holes at the bottom aren't clogged — both can let moisture sneak in where it doesn't belong. If you notice fogging between the panes or a hazy look, that's a sign your window seals may be failing and worth having evaluated. Home Inspections LLC shared this reminder, and it's a good one. 🏡 Drop any questions in the comments or reach out to Farmer Home Inspections directly!

🏦 Mortgage Tip: Focus on the payment, not just the rate.

When shopping for a home, it's easy to get caught up in interest rates. While rates are important, the monthly payment is often what impacts your day-to-day finances the most.

Your payment includes more than just principal and interest. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA fees, and other costs can all affect what you'll actually pay each month.

The goal isn't simply finding the lowest rate; it's finding a payment that fits comfortably within your budget and supports your long-term financial goals.

When buying a home, would you rather have a lower payment or pay off the loan faster? 👇

SOLD! 🔑
Big congratulations to our sellers on Carson Ave in La Junta — this investment property is officially closed and in the hands of its new owner!
Selling a rented property comes with its own set of moving pieces, and these sellers handled it like pros. We're so glad it all came together and that they're able to move on to whatever's next.
If you have investment property you've been thinking about selling — or you're curious what it might be worth in today's market — we'd love to have that conversation.

Stuck between wanting to move and not wanting to deal with selling first? We hear this from sellers all the time — and there's actually a solution worth knowing about.
A bridge loan lets you buy your next home before you sell your current one. You can tap into your current home's equity for your new down payment, then sell on your own timeline instead of rushing to make it work. And for the first 10 years, you're looking at interest-only payments while you get settled.*
If you've been putting off your move because the "sell first, buy second" timing felt impossible, this might be exactly what you need.
Want to know if it's a fit for your situation? Reach out to SterlingCampbell.loandepot at Loan Depot — he can walk you through the details and see what makes sense for you

Looking to buy your next home without rushing to sell your current one? Our bridge loan helps you buy first, sell later, and use your current home's equity for your new down payment. Plus, enjoy interest-only payments for the first 10 years* while you transition. Learn more today!

Some traditions are worth holding onto. ❤️

In a world that moves quickly, family traditions help us slow down, connect, and create memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's a holiday gathering, a favorite recipe, or an annual trip, these moments often become the stories we tell for years to come.

With Father's Day weekend here, it's a great reminder that sometimes the simplest traditions end up meaning the most.
