A real estate property is a great place for new beginnings. 🏠

Whether that means continuing the growth of your family, or simply using the property as your place for solitude, a new home is always a new beginning! 😁😍

You know the feeling you get when you didn't get the new job you wanted or someone outbid you on your dream home? While they seem disappointing at the time, they are a reminder that something better is still to come. 🤩

Staging a home is about making the best possible first impression on prospective buyers. Keep in mind though, that it is real life. Buyers will overlook the wedding portrait hanging in your bedroom and the fact that you have a trash can in your kitchen (as long as they can't smell it!).

The best way to stage your home is to make it look more spacious and free from clutter. Here are three staging tips that will help make your home look larger.

1. SWAP COLORS FOR NEUTRAL TONES. White, grey, and beige are your friends when staging your home. Swap brightly colored curtains or bed linens for white ones (even in the kids' rooms!). Target and Ikea have some super affordable options. Painting the walls lighter can make a room appear bigger, too.

2. SWAP DARK OR MOODY ARTWORK FOR MIRRORS. If you want to make a room feel larger, hang a mirror on the wall! Not only do mirrors reflect light, but they also reflect the view, which tends to lend a perception of more space.

3. CLEAR A PATHWAY. Even if you love the end table you have next to the sofa, excess furniture may make your space feel cluttered. Buyers might not fall in love with your great-grandmother's antique sewing table, but they will fall in love with your open floor plan and layout.

There are many real estate myths out there that need to be debunked!

Here are five pieces of real estate advice to IGNORE:

MYTH: Spring is the best time to sell.
FACT: The best time to sell is when you're ready. Don't rush a major decision when there are perks to selling your home at all times throughout the year.

MYTH: FSBO saves you money.
FACT: Real estate agents are experienced and knowledgeable about home pricing. A good agent can help you get more ROI on your investment.

MYTH: Higher price = higher offer.
FACT: Pricing your home accurately will generate interest among the right buyers, and may even lead to a competitive bid and higher offer price!

MYTH: Open houses sell homes.
FACT: Open houses can be a helpful tool, but your agent should have a broader marketing strategy that also includes social and digital marketing.

MYTH: The first offer is always the best offer.
FACT: Lots of factors come into play here -- contingencies, closing date, down payment amount. Review all the terms of every offer -- don't just pick the highest offer price.

A real estate appraisal exists to establish a property's market value -- or the likely price it would bring if offered in a competitive open market.

Mortgage lenders require appraisals to provide the lender with an assurance that the property can sell for at least the amount of money that it is lending.

It's easy to confuse an appraisal with a comparative market analysis, which tells us how your home stacks up to others in your area; or even a home inspection, which assesses the physical condition of the home.

Questions about appraisals? Happy to answer them or connect you with one of my trusted lenders!

Something my buyer clients often wonder is: "if I'm buying new construction, do I still need a home inspection?"

The answer is ALWAYS yes! Even if you are buying a new construction home, you should still get a home inspection within the required timeframe. An inspection is not a pass/fail test and every home will turn up issues. but most of them will be minor. And, if there are any major issues that turn up that doesn't mean that the deal is done -- it just means that we have more work and negotiating to do!

I have a great network of great home inspectors, handymen, painters, and contractors, so when you're ready to find your next home you can feel confident that you have the best team in your corner!

Most people learn about titles and title insurance when they buy or sell their first home. It is almost always required as part of your closing costs on a home and covers research into public records to ensure that the title of the home is free and clear of any liens or conflicts (i.e. a long-lost relative with ownership claims on the property).

​Yes, it seems like a tedious step in the process (more paperwork!) but it is really an incredibly important step.

Inspection Day can be totally exciting... or a total bummer 😬 Home inspections are usually conducted after the seller accepts the buyer's offer to identify any issues with the home that could affect its value.

While most home inspections reveal only minor issues, some do turn up deal breakers for the buyer or lender.

When the time comes to get your home inspection, I'd be happy to hook you up with one of my trusted inspectors to get the job done!
