Limewash is making a comeback as natural design continues to maintain popularity. While it looks organic and can even been done as a DIY project, you can’t wipe it clean like you can with painted walls. Do you love the limewash trend or will you sit this one out?
Contingent means “depending on certain circumstances.” In real estate, when a house is listed as contingent, it means that an offer has been made and accepted, but before the deal is complete, some additional criteria must be met. For instance, if a seller offers a certain price and you, as the buyer, say the price is fine (provided the home inspection comes back clean), you have made a contingent real estate contract.

We set up showings and help you with all the minute details of negotiation. Don’t spend any more time than you need to on selling your home - leave that to us!

That initial glimpse of its exterior is a big deal - it can either catch the eye of potential buyers or immediately stop them from considering your home as an option in their journey. Improving your home’s curb appeal can help you bring in the buyers and get top dollar for your sale.

Pre-approval is as close as you can get to confirming your creditworthiness without having a purchase contract in place. You will complete a mortgage application and the lender will verify the information you provide. They’ll also perform a credit check. If you’re pre-approved, you’ll receive a pre-approval letter, which is an offer to lend you a specific amount, good for typically 90 days.

Now that you’ve got your house listed, it’s time for your first showing. The first step is similar to preparing for listing photos and videos: you want to make sure everything’s clean. Make sure you declutter and get rid of as much as possible. Depending on your comfort level, you may also want to de-personalize your home. If you don’t want your children’s photos in your house, now’s the time to take them down. Make your house feel big by allowing as much light in as possible. Before the showing, make sure when you’re leaving your house that you have all the window blinds open and all the lights turned on.
Comfort is key when it comes to open house or home tour preparation this time of year! There is no need to overheat your home, but it helps to keep your house at a comfortable temperature during a home viewing. Take this time to show potential buyers just how cozy your home can be.
Buying your first home may be a little scary, but being informed can be the difference between being blindsided by costs you don't expect and being in the know! Buying a home is more than just the purchase price. When you buy a house, you should expect to have a few expenses - to include your down payment (if required for your mortgage type), your closing costs, and any moving costs. If you have bought a home before, what expenses came up that you didn’t expect?
Buying your first home may be a little scary, but having information like this can be the difference between blindly paying for things you don't understand, and being “in the know”!

Seller financing is a type of real estate agreement that allows the buyer to pay the seller in installments rather than using a traditional mortgage from a bank, credit union or other financial institution. Seller financing presents upsides and downsides to home buyers and sellers alike. With these agreements, purchasers with lower credit scores or incomes may be able to obtain loans that they could not have been approved for otherwise.
There are several other ways to finance a home. Are you ready to buy? Contact me today!
The practice of seller financing goes by many names, including purchase-money mortgages and owner financing. But in its simplest terms, it describes a form of real estate lending transaction in which a property owner also serves as a mortgage lender. This unique situation in the home selling process eliminates the need for a financial institution to handle financing agreements and negotiations. While seller financing effectively sees a seller provide a buyer with direct financing, it comes with pros and cons attached, as does any nontraditional mortgage option. it’s important to do your research and consult with a qualified professional before entering into a seller financing agreement.

One of the biggest benefits of buying a home is making an investment and building equity. When you buy a home, you are building equity over time. As you make mortgage payments, you accumulate ownership in the property, which can be a valuable asset. Over time, your home may appreciate in value, allowing you to potentially sell it for a profit.
When preparing to move, homeowners can make a few common mistakes that can cause unnecessary stress and complications. Here are three mistakes to avoid:
Failure to Plan Ahead: Moving requires time and organization, so it's important to create a detailed moving plan well in advance.
Neglecting to Declutter: Moving provides an excellent opportunity to declutter and get rid of items that are no longer needed.
Forgetting to Notify Important Parties: It's crucial to inform relevant parties about your upcoming move to ensure a smooth transition.
