Where do *you* go for brunch in Southern Virginia Beach? 🥂🍳

One of the things I love most about living in Virginia Beach is that some of the best local spots aren't at the Oceanfront - they're tucked away in Pungo, Princess Anne, Red Mill, Courthouse, and Sandbridge.

One of my favorite things about living in Southern Virginia Beach isn't found in a neighborhood brochure or on a home search website.

It's the roadside farm stands.

The hand-painted signs. The sweet corn picked that morning. The strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, homemade pies, and local honey that keep families coming back year after year.

If you've ever wondered what makes Pungo so special, this is it.

I put together a local guide featuring some of my favorite spots, including Cullipher Farm, the Virginia Beach Farmers Market, Cromwell's Produce, Bay Breeze Farms, and several of the small farm stands that make this area feel like home.

Whether you're a longtime local, new to the area, or considering a move to Southern Virginia Beach, I think you'll love this one.

Me to my younger self:

If I could, I'd be passing along these insights to the younger version of myself – the things I definitely didn't know before I purchased my first home.

Sharing now because if one person benefits from seeing this, it’s worth it!

1) Plan for maintenance expenses.

Back in the day, I didn’t anticipate any maintenance costs. It’s critical to set aside a portion of money for this.
A good rule of thumb is 1%-3% of the value of the home per year. Consider moving a fixed amount each month into a high-yield savings account so you’re prepared for surprises down the road.

2) Homeownership will provide stability for you & your loved ones.

There’s something special about having a place that’s solely yours, not someone else’s. The sense of security and comfort that comes with homeownership is a feeling you can’t put a price on!

3) Predictable monthly costs will provide peace of mind

Rent prices used to keep me up at night, wondering when the next increase would hit. With my own home, I gained peace of mind knowing that my monthly expenses were stable and wouldn’t unexpectedly skyrocket.

4) Your home’s value will increase.

I used to fret about the direction of property values. Spoiler alert: they’ve only gone up!

Historical data shows us this, too. Owning a home has turned out to be one of the smartest investments I’ve made.

So, if you're considering buying your first home and have a few worries, I get it. It’s a huge step that shouldn’t be taken lightly!

Your best friend in real estate? (Well... besides your Realtor...)

It's your credit

I always have my buyers get familiar with the 4 C's of building credit so they're prepared to receive the best loan terms possible.

1) Credit: This is a reflection of your financial past. Do you consistently make payments on time? If yes, lenders perceive you as less of a risk and more likely to approve your loan application.

2) Capacity: This is your ability to repay a loan based on your income and employment history. It's not just about having the funds but also about a track record of financial stability.

3) Capital: Assets or cash reserves can be used to repay your loan if your income isn’t enough. It's like a safety net that lenders look for when deciding whether to approve your loan.

4) Collateral: This is something of value that you can pledge as security against the loan. In case of default, it can be seized by the lender. In the context of real estate, the home itself often serves as collateral.

Good credit is essential because it directly impacts your mortgage approval prospects, competitive interest rates, and down payment requirements.

On the other hand, a subpar credit score can make securing the best terms challenging, but don't be discouraged if your credit isn't perfect right now.

Building a strong credit takes time and dedication. Small steps can lead to significant improvements.

If you have questions about how credit affects real estate financing or need guidance on improving your credit score, reach out to me and I can send over some resources!

My buyers’ confidence was.... sky high....

Because they came to the showing with this...

A pre-approval letter!

But here’s what it meant for them as they shopped around.

1) Financial clarity - It told them their max loan amount so they could browse, tour, and make an offer on a home with confidence.

2) An upper hand & a standout offer - It made their offer stand out from other buyers who weren’t already pre-approved. (In a market where inventory is tight, having a pre-approval will set you apart).

3) A send-off for stress - It gave them peace of mind, saved time and lowered stress. When you find a home you love, you want to act as quickly as you can. Being “paperwork ready” will help you move fast without scrambling or stressing.

Don't miss out on your dream home! Take action to get pre-approved. It's your secret weapon for success in this market.
