Regardless of this being a sellers market, successful agents now how to educate their clients and set clear expectations FROM THE BEGINNING!

This is why a consultation is such a huge benefit to both parties! Your agent will educate you not only about the home buying process but clearly lay out the expectations on how to win in todays market.

This could be trends with offering over asking, shortening contingency periods, having strong lenders, offering rent backs and the constant communication with the listing agent. Which has truly been the best experience with !

This market is nothing to shy away from, but to take advantage of before prices increase!

There’s more to buying a home than just the sales price.

Your mortgage interest rate can add up big time and really sneak up on you. That little percentage can mean the difference between saving tens of thousands of dollars or losing them.

And right now, mortgage rates are the lowest they’ve ever been. Which means you can save a loooooot of money.

So yeah, now is a GREAT time to buy.

In the example above, if you bought now with a low interest rate, you could save over $70k.
Cha-ching!

If you wait on buying a home, you could find a property for cheaper. But interest rates will likely be higher, which could majorly cost you.

Don’t end up paying more than you have to for your dream home!

Send me a DM and let’s talk about getting you in a home for a final price that you’ll love.

“10.10.1 - 10 years, 10 dreams, 1 goal”

“Who do you want to be in 10 years? What are 10 dreams that make it a reality for you? Which one of those dreams are you going to turn into a goal and focus on next?”

It is all about 2022 baby! Super happy that I took the time to complete this goal setting exercise in my journal. Specifically describing every detail of my life in 10 years at that exact moment. What the house looks like that I am standing in, what I am wearing, what my family is doing, how I feel about myself, what my success looks like and the list continues.

Getting as specific as possible to help me create a list of 10 dreams and then narrowing it down to 1 goal. The one goal I am focusing on and striving to be!

In today's competitive market with such low inventory, a pre-approval letter is a complete game changer when buying a home.

Not only does it show a buyer you are serious about your offer, but it tells you what your budget is and how much you can put down as a downpayment.
