Information about Silvia Gonzalez-Ackroyd:

I started working in the real estate industry since 1994. I began as a real estate secretary then became an REO foreclosure assistant. I eventually became an office manager and since got my license in 1998. I have always worked in real estate either as a part-time agent or full-time agent. The industry has changed since the massive foreclosures began in

2009. Instead of being like most agents who left during that time period I stayed and have taken numerous classes and seminars to keep pace with the ever changing policies being issued. Contact me today to find out how I can help you by calling 760-828-6951 or 951-291-1860. I can help with the following:

1) Going from a smaller home to a bigger one;

2) or going from a big home to a smaller one – two story to a single story;

3) buying your first home or first investment property;

4) deciding to either do short sale or fight to get a modification or fol;

5) or just relocating. I grew up in North San Diego County and raised my children in Southwest Riverside County. I have four children and most of my family now lives in Wildomar. I am an agent that cares about your well-being and of your family. I also know the area very well in the City of San Diego and surrounding areas and now live in Murrieta which is part of Southwest Riverside County .

Happy Saturday, everyone! 😎

Today, we're back with another "small change, big impact" idea: swapping out your address numbers. πŸ”’

When was the last time you updated your address numbers?

Are they the same ones that were there when you moved in? 😬

If so, that's okay! This is a quick update that adds major curb appeal. Plus, if you're thinking of listing, this will help potential buyers spot your address more easily. πŸ‘€

There are a ton of options out there to choose from, so you can pick a new set that fits your style. If you have questions on what's trending in our area, please reach out so we can help!

Friday Five! πŸ–

We'll be sharing small changes you can make to your home that can have a BIG impact.

Lighting plays a MAJOR role in the look and feel of your home, so today we're talking all about lighting. πŸ’‘

Here we go: πŸ‘‡

1. Swap lightbulbs to a different temperature. Depending on the room, you can choose cooler temperatures for alertness and warmer temperatures for relaxation.

For example, do you have cooler bulbs in your living room? Try swapping them out for a warmer bulb to promote relaxation. πŸ›‹

2. Add more layers of light. If you only have ceiling lights, try adding floor lamps, side table lamps or task lighting. This gives a room ambience, brightens up darker areas such as corners and helps the eye to move around the room. πŸ‘€

3. Swap out light fixtures for a more modern style or finish. This goes for indoors and any exterior fixtures you have. If you have questions on what is trending in our area, ask me! πŸ’¬

4. Light up your walkways leading to your home. Solar lights are a quick and easy way to accomplish this. πŸ’‘

5. Light up the siding of your home. This creates curb appeal, lights up any foliage you have planted and lights up any dark areas around your home. 🏑

In a competitive market like ours, good homes come to those who DON'T WAIT! 😬

If you're getting ready to purchase a home of your own, here are 3 things to be ready for:πŸ‘‡

1) Competition with other buyers. Give yourself a leg up by making sure your finances are in order, your pre-approval letter is in hand and you have an experienced agent by your side. πŸ’°

2) Multiple offer situations and bidding wars. Make sure you work with an agent who is able to negotiate and has your back during these situations. πŸ₯Š

3) Be prepared to act and make a competitive offer. πŸ’ͺ When you find the home you love, don't sleep on it for too long. Be prepared to make a decision and move forward with an offer. Once again, work with an experienced agent who can help you make a competitive game plan!

We can help you through the entire home buying process. If you're open to discussing where you are now, we can help guide you on your next steps.

Are you in back-to-school mode at your house? 🏑

This time of year it is especially important to be organized! πŸ“š

Whether you're going back to school, home schooling or virtual learning, schedules are changing and there are school supplies and papers adding up on a daily basis!

One great way to start and end the day in an organized way is to create a designated command center. This can be done with only a few pieces and it will give everyday school items a "home". This can help keep your home tidy at the end of the day AND help your mornings go more smoothly. πŸ™Œ

You can transform an entryway, mudroom, closet or wall in your home to a designated schoolwork center.

Here are a few ideas to get started:

πŸŽ’ Assigned cubbies, shelves or lockers
πŸŽ’ Hooks for backpacks, lunchboxes and outer layers
πŸŽ’ File organizers for papers
πŸŽ’ Bins/baskets for miscellaneous items
πŸŽ’ Cubbies or baskets for shoes
πŸŽ’ A bulletin board
πŸŽ’ A calendar to organize schedules
