They say time flies when you are having fun. Fifteen years ago today I joined Long & Foster Real Estate and never looked back! How lucky I am to have learned (and continue to learn) from the best.

While not every day is all-out “fun”, every day is full of awesome opportunities to learn, problem solve and serve and I am grateful for the wonderful people I have met and will meet along the way.

Cheers to many more years to come! 🥂🍻

We had the honor of helping a wonderful family sell a cherished family home. 

Our sellers could not have been more gracious – passing along this amazing property in tribute to their parents’ legacy.

Selling a family home can be stressful and overwhelming.  We are here to help with the experience and resources to help make it a smooth transition.

YESSSSS!  It feels amazeballs when our buyer’s offer is accepted during this wild real estate market.  One of our awesome first-time homebuyers just went under contract and we are still riding high!

Here’s what it takes to win:

🏆If you aren’t buying with cash, get your financing locked and loaded with a local lender.  This is massively important. Sellers want to know that prospective buyers are solid.

🏆 Have a professional and savvy Realtor represent you who knows the local market inside and out, who is connected with other agents in the field, and who also knows what it takes to make a competitive offer.  

🏆 Be flexible.  With fewer homes on the market, buyers have to be willing to prioritize what they want and need in a home. 

🏆 Practice patience and grace.  One of my dearest clients taught me this valuable lesson just as the market was heating up. Buyers are going to have to kiss a few frogs before finding a home where their offer is accepted. 

Are you thinking of making a move?  We are here to help.  DM to me to chat about it!

🥂,
Jennie

Even though sellers are making big profits these days, fear seems to be one if the reasons people are reluctant to make a move in this market.

👉What if my home sells quickly?  Where will I go?

We can help negotiate the best terms that will help you to stay in your home until you are able to move into your next one.  Whether it is an extended closing date, renting back from the new owner, or even securing a short-term rental, we’ll help make sure you have a place to call home.

👉Do I have to do a bunch of 💰💰updates before listing my home?

Typically, we leave paint, flooring and other cosmetic changes to the next happy buyer if your home is a little dated. However, we do counsel our sellers to make sure the “big ticket” items are in good working order.  Major issues with HVAC, roof, plumbing, or electrical can scare away even the most confident buyer in this market.  And if you need a recommendation for which contractors to use – we can help you with that, too.

Tell me your biggest fear about selling your home in today’s market. We are here to help.

With the added stress of an upcoming overseas military move, we helped this sweet, young family get top dollar and short market time for their adorable Virginia Beach home.

With only two days on the market and an extra $7500 in their pockets, these awesome clients are embarking on the next chapter of their lives.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as you serve us. Safe travels.
