When buying your home pay attention to the factors that have a higher impact on your daily life and long term investment.
I guide all my buyers to ignore “this” and pay attention to “that”.
Ignore This
• Seller’s Style / Decor
• Clutter / Messiness
• Poor Landscaping
• And Oddly Used Rooms
Pay Attention Here
• The Location / Neighborhood
• Your Budget / Monthly Costs
• Your ‘Must Have’ List
• Condition of Major Systems
The seller’s style, landscaping, or odd room usage are typically easy and inexpensive to change compared to aspects like location and budget.
If you want guidance on what factors have an impact on your investment, then let’s chat! Schedule your strategy call today.
Two big misconceptions my buyers have when purchasing their first home are…
That you need 20% down to buy a home.
That you need perfect credit to buy a home.
In reality… You just need dedication from a great agent, backed by a team of experts!
If this is you, let’s connect. Schedule your strategy call today.
Don’t overlook the importance of a thorough home inspection!
Here’s four areas where my buyers gain peace of mind during their home inspection.
Electrical Systems
Home inspectors will check wiring, outlets, switches, and electrical panels for safety and compliance.
Plumbing
Inspectors check for leaks, water pressure, drainage, and the functionality of fixtures like sinks, toilets, and showers.
HVAC Systems
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems get inspected to make sure they’re in proper working order.
The Roof
Inspectors check the condition of the roof, including shingles, flashing, and gutters, as well as attic insulation.
So what’s the point?
Home inspectors help us ensure you’re making a confident and informed decision when buying your dream home!

If you’re buying or selling a home this spring, here are a few things to keep in mind…
𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞
If you’re selling, start prepping your home now to make a great first impression.
Repairs, fresh paint, and landscaping all make a big difference during showings.
𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝
If you’re buying, have a pre-approval letter from your lender ready to go.
This shows the seller that you’re a serious buyer and are financially ready to purchase the home.
𝐁𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞
If you’re selling, you’ll want to price your home well and market it effectively.
If you’re buying, be ready to move quickly and present a strong offer.
𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞
Whether you’re buying or selling, everyone can benefit from negotiating the price, repairs, and other terms of the sale.

Paying too much for a home can come with financial consequences, so it’s important to do your research and be strategic when making an offer.
Here are six tips to help you avoid paying too much for a home:
1. Get An Appraisal
An appraisal can help you determine the fair market value of the property and ensure that you’re not overpaying. (If you’re financing your lender will want this anyway!)
2. Research Comparable Sales
Your realtor should be able to give you a market analysis of similar homes in the same neighborhood to give you a better idea of the fair market value of the home.
3. Don’t Get Emotionally Attached
While it’s important to find a home that you love, it’s also important to not get emotionally attached and overpay for a property.
4. Be Prepared To Negotiate
Don’t be afraid to negotiate the price with the seller. Especially if there are any issues with the property that need to be addressed.
5. Consider The Long-Term Costs
When it comes to the price of a home, consider not just the purchase price but also the long-term costs such as property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance costs.
6. Be Willing To Walk Away
If the seller is not willing to negotiate on the price and you feel that the home is overpriced, be willing to walk away and continue your search.
Remember, it’s important to find a home that meets your needs and budget, so don’t be afraid to take your time and do your research before making an offer.

Before purchasing a home, it’s important to have it inspected for any defects or issues that could potentially cost you money down the line.
Here’s two simple tips on how to find out if there are defects in a home you want to buy:
1. Hire A Licensed Home Inspector
A licensed home inspector can conduct a thorough inspection of the property and identify any issues or defects that need to be addressed. (more on this later)
2. Ask The Seller For Disclosures
The seller is required to disclose any known issues or defects with the property, so ask for a complete list of disclosures before making an offer!
Remember, identifying any defects or issues with a home before you make an offer can save you money and headaches down the line, so it’s important to conduct a thorough home inspection and do your due diligence before making a purchase.
