We often talk about the 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 of our home. However, what we don’t often look at is our 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Home equity is the current market value of your property less what is owed. Across the country, homeowners are experiencing sizable equity gains because of increased property values (historic double-digit growth figures).

There are a number of ways you can build equity (wealth) in your home on top of typical appreciation.

➀ Make additional payments toward the principal of your loan. Paying down your mortgage combined with the appreciation of your home is a powerful combination.

➁ Sign up for bi-weekly mortgage payments. Making 26 half payments over the course of a year actually translates into an "extra" 13th payment.

➂ Make key home improvements that will increase the value of your property. Hint: ask your agent!

➃ Refinance to a shorter-term / modified loan product.

When was the last time you checked your home equity position?

I’m always available, as your real estate expert, to provide a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.

✔️ ʀᴇᴍɪɴᴅᴇʀ: your monthly homeowner to-do list!

As you prepare your home for the warmer weather, it’s not uncommon to see pesky bugs make their first appearance of the season. 🐜
.. ʙᴜᴛ ᴅɪᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ? Many pests, including termites, are practically invisible, which is why it is so important to have regular pest inspections and routine management. If you live in an older home, most pest control companies recommend quarterly inspections / treatments. Protect your home and family by being proactive instead of reactive.

Save this post for later and pick 1 or 2 off the list every weekend!

Buying a home can bring a lot of uncertainty, especially when a seller doesn't have much knowledge about the home or the age of the mechanicals and other big-ticket items. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲!

Let's be real — even if a seller has knowledge about the home, we would definitely want to get the opinion from an unbiased source who is an expert in their field.

Here are the most common inspections:

• Visual & Mechanical (General Home Inspection)
• Structural (Engineering)
• Wood Destroying Insect / Termite
• Radon Gas
• Mold (Air Quality + Labs)
• Lead-Based Paint (If Older)
• Sewer (Septic / Hydraulic + Sewer Line)
• Water (Well, Pump, Filtration, Labs)
• Pool (Visual, Mechanical, Dye)
• Stucco (Moisture Probe / Invasive)
• Insurance (Flood, Prior Claims)

→ Make sure to take the time to attend the inspections with the professionals. This way you get first-hand knowledge on your new home and you can ask questions on maintenance items. Every home is going to have issues, so it's important to prioritize what is most important and plan for the rest.

PRO TIP: Even if you waive the right to a home inspection to win a multiple offer situation, it is important that you still have one, even if it is after you move in!

Monday Motivation ✨

We all have big dreams and our idealized lifestyle — the way our life would be if we were living it at the highest level. Many people can envision this, but very few actually act upon it every single day in order to make it a reality. It’s not about the things you do every once in a while that are going to greatly affect your life. It's what you practice every day.

Remain focused on what brings you a sense of fulfillment and success so that your world can continue to be a reflection of how you ideally choose to experience it. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲!

𝙷𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚢 𝙴𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑 𝙳𝚊𝚢! 🌎

Today is a day to reflect on just how fragile our planet is and why it's important to protect it.

Below are 8 easy things you can do at home to make a positive impact on our planet:
⁣
• Use cold water when washing clothes (HE washers and modern detergents make hot water optional)⁣
• Repair leaky faucets (5 drips a minute equals 262 gallons a year!)
• Use reusable grocery bags
• Cancel catalogs and junk mail lists to reduce waste
• Sign up for paperless statements where possible
• RECYCLE! ♻️
• Purchase a smart thermostat and set it back to a lower temperature when away from the house and/or sleeping
• Use homemade cleaning products to cut down on harmful chemicals

If you've been looking to secure that "right home" in our current market, you know that there are a lot of factors to consider when submitting an offer. Although many people think that the highest offer wins, that is not always the case. Here are a few reasons why a seller may NOT choose the highest offer:⁣
⁣
1. 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚑 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚜
If a buyer brings an all cash offer, the seller doesn't have to worry about the deal falling through because of financing issues or an appraisal coming in too low (which can be a concern if there are multiple offers above the asking price).

2. 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚐
One buyer may offer more, but another buyer could be more qualified with more cash for a downpayment or pre-approved with a more favorable loan program (such as conventional versus FHA financing, which can sometimes be seen as a "riskier loan"). Choosing the buyer with stronger financing helps avoid fallouts before settlement.

3. 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚜
If a buyer doesn’t elect contingencies. A common contingency is that a buyer must sell his or her home before buying. The other main contingencies are mortgage (financing) and inspection contingencies.
Sellers love when an offer is free and clear of contingencies that could potentially cause a sale to fall through or cost them money. Did you know that inspections are the main reason a sale will fall through?

Sellers are looking for a competitive offer — an offer that is clean and with the least amount of contingencies.

If you are looking to buy a home and want an aggressive agent on your side, shoot me a message! I'd love to help you WIN in this market... experience and creativity matter in the market of the moment.

"𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚂𝚊𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚢" – you might instantly think about a security system, but what about your 𝙷𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚑?

With the way in which the workforce adapted, we're spending more time at home than ever before, and it's important that we think about our health and safety at home. Here are a few things to consider to help keep your family and your home SAFE:

• Smoke Detectors — you should replace these every 10 years. Are they yellow? Replace. Don't know how old they are? Replace. You should also have one in every bedroom and on every floor!

• Carbon Monoxide Detectors — Don't forget about these. You can even get smoke detectors that have combined CO detectors. Look for the ones with the 10-year lithium battery.

• Radon Test & Remediation — Did you know that radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers? It's critical that you have your home tested for radon every 5-10 years!

• Dryer Vent Cleaning — Not only will this increase efficiency, but it can also save your life! Studies show that over 15,000 fires are caused by clogged dryer vents every year!
