This one is extra special because referrals truly are the heart of my business! 🥹🔑

Ileana & Leo came to me through a referral from Diana (was a client now a bestie), who has trusted me with her real estate needs numerous times over the years and I’ve had the privilege of helping several members of her family, too. 🫶🏼 That kind of continued trust and support means more to me than I can put into words! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹

Now it’s Ileana & Leo’s turn! 🎉 We found them 5 beautiful acres with plenty of room for them AND their fur babies to roam! 🐾🐾🐾🌳

And let’s not forget one of the important requirements… plenty of room to shoot!
😂💥🎯

I am SO excited for them and this next chapter. There’s just something about having your own little piece of land, room to breathe, and space to enjoy life exactly how you want to. 🌾🏡❤️

Congratulations, Ileana & Leo!! WE’RE UNDER CONTRACT! 🥂🔑🎉

A huge THANK YOU to Lew Ann & her team at American Liberty Mortgage for taking care of the financing and helping us get another step closer to the closing table! 💰🔑🤝 It truly takes a great team to make it all come together

And a HUGE thank you to Diana for continuing to send your family and friends my way. Your referrals are truly one of the greatest compliments I can receive. 💕🙏🏼

🏡 I keep hearing, “I’m just going to wait until rates come down.”

And I get it. But here’s the part I think a lot of buyers are missing…

Right now, mortgage rates are still hanging in the 6% range, BUT sellers are having to compete for buyers again.

That changes things. 👏🏼

We’re seeing price reductions. We’re seeing sellers willing to help with closing costs. We’re seeing buyers negotiate money toward rate buydowns. And depending on the property, sometimes we can negotiate a combination of all three.

A few years ago? Good luck asking for all that. 😂

Here’s what I tell my buyers:

If rates come down, they don’t just come down for YOU. They come down for everybody sitting on the sidelines waiting right along with you.

More buyers qualify.
More buyers start shopping.
Competition increases.
And sellers may not be nearly as willing to negotiate.

So yes, waiting for a lower interest rate might save you money.

But what if you can negotiate $20K off a house today, get the seller to contribute toward your closing costs AND buy your rate down?

Which deal actually puts you in the better position?

THAT is the question we should be asking.

Instead of trying to predict interest rates, let’s take the house you want right now and actually run the numbers.

What can we negotiate?
What would your payment be?
What would the same house/payment look like if rates dropped?
And most importantly
what are you actually gaining by waiting?

Maybe waiting makes sense. Maybe buying now makes more sense.

I’m never going to tell somebody to buy a house just for the sake of making a sale. But I will absolutely help you look at the numbers so you can make an educated decision instead of sitting on the sidelines trying to predict a market none of us can perfectly predict.

There are deals to be made in this market. You just have to know how to negotiate them. 😉🏡

🌸 FROM A TIKTOK COMMENT… TO FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS! 🌴🏡💗

This one is such a cool full-circle moment.

I met Brooke on TikTok of all places. 😂 She had posted a video about how the weather had FINALLY warmed up where she lived up north, and she was so excited because she could finally plant her flowers. 🌷🌼

I commented something like, “Oh my gosh girl, THAT is why I live in Florida! I can plant my flowers year-round now!” 😂🌴

And that one little comment started a connection.

Fast forward… Brooke, Brandon and their boys decided to make a HUGE life change. They sold it all, left 40 acres and the Midwest behind, and moved to FLORIDA. Can I add all within less than 45 DAYS! 💪🏽 ☀️🌊

And now they’re here, absolutely LOVING their new life. 🥹💕

It still blows my mind how God can use something as simple as a random TikTok comment to connect you with people you’re supposed to meet.

Congratulations, yall!!!!!! 🏡🔑
From talking about planting flowers year-round… to helping you put down roots of your own here in Florida. 🌸

WE ACTUALLY DID IT! 💗

Welcome HOME to Florida! ☀️🌴
