In case you need a reason to get amped up about our Pickleball Tournament tomorrow, here is our rules video from our very first year.

Give this a heart if we should do an updated oneโ€ฆ

Real estate agents have stories. The kind that start with "so this one time at an open house..."

Buyers tour with their whole extended family and wonder why the listing agent remembered them for all the wrong reasons. Sellers leave out their prescription bottles and passports and wonder why things go missing.

Whether you are touring homes or hosting one, the 4 rules in this post will save you from the most common mistakes agents see every weekend.

Save it. Share it.

If you want to close on a home this fall, your credit score work starts this month. Not in October when you are ready to shop.

Every 20 points on your score can shift your interest rate. On a $350,000 loan, that can mean thousands of dollars a year. Thousands. Not dollars and cents.

Most buyers wait until they are ready to shop and then get frustrated when their rate is higher than they expected. The buyers who get the best rates are the ones who started 5 months early.

Thinking about buying this year? Send us a message.

50 years ago, a woman could not get a mortgage without a man's signature.

Today, single women are the fastest growing buyer group in real estate.

21% of the market. More than twice the rate of single men. Out-earning their male counterparts for the first time in recorded NAR history.

Shoutout to our girl gang buying homes!

Your loan type is a 30-year decision. Treat it like one.

Most buyers spend weeks choosing the right house and 20 minutes choosing the loan that pays for it. Then they spend the next three decades paying for that decision.

Two buyers. Same house. One will pay $122,000 more over 30 years because she did not know to ask for options. Most buyers take the first loan their lender offers. The ones who save real money ask three questions first. They are in this post.

Save it for later. Share it with someone shopping right now. And send us a message if you want to walk through your specific situation.

If you own a home and have a patio, deck, or pergola, the single easiest upgrade you can make this spring is outdoor lighting.

Good string lights, mounted properly, completely transform a backyard. They make small spaces feel bigger. They extend the hours you actually use the space. They photograph beautifully, which matters if you ever plan to sell. And they cost less than a decent patio chair.

A few tips before you buy: Get commercial grade, not seasonal. The cheap ones die in one summer. Plan your mounting points before you buy (trees, poles, eaves). Use bulbs rated for outdoor use. Put them on a smart plug so they come on automatically at dusk.

Save this post. Text it to your partner. This is a one day project with a huge payoff.

The single busiest moving window of the year starts this week. Families wait until school lets out and they need to be settled before August orientation. That gives you roughly 10 weeks to find a home, close, pack, and unpack.

If you are one of those people looking to move or are ready to sell your house, the time to start is right now.

Here is why. Pre-approval takes a few days. Finding the right home takes 2 to 4 weeks in a normal market. Closing takes 30 to 45 days. That math alone eats your entire summer if you wait.

What to do this week: Get pre-approved if you have not already. Decide on your must-have neighborhoods. Have an honest conversation about timing. Line up your current home for sale if you are selling too.

If you are thinking about a summer move and have not started yet, send us a message today. We can help you work the timeline backward so you land where you want to land before the first day of school.
