When you do good things it comes back to you in the most surprising ways! Now my buyers have a beautiful home they are enjoying!
Win - win! π π₯³
Spot a beautiful home on Zillow, click the βRequest a tourβ button, and voila, you`re one step closer to your dream house.
BUT here`s the catch: that one click propels your personal info into a world of real estate agents, all vying for your business.
Don`t get me wrong, we real estate professionals are pretty great, but if you`re not quite ready for the constant phone calls or text bombardments, that one click might be overwhelming. π΅βπ«
The good news is there`s a simpler, quieter way through the noise.
If you give me a call to set up a showing, not only will we explore that gorgeous home you spotted on Zillow (or any other place), but your contact information will stay safe β just with me. Plus, you won`t have to worry about your phone ringing nonstop. π΅
Save yourself the trouble and reach out to me directly.
Iβm always available via DM, text, or a call. π²
So scary, right?!
It was insane and freaked us out! When I called the listing agent his response was, βOh, I thought the sellers were going to take it out.β
I have no words! Thereβs always an adventure in real estate but thank goodness we were both safe! π°
Itβs important to recognize that each situation is unique, and what might work for one person may not be the best solution for another. Thatβs why itβs always a good idea to seek advice from a financial advisor or a real estate professional like myself before making significant changes to your mortgage strategy. π
If youβre ready to discuss your mortgage and real estate needs, Iβm here to lend a helping hand. Reach out to me, and letβs explore the options available to you.

Actually, yes!
In fact, you might be surprised to know that in the fourth quarter of 2021, 11.6% of first-time homebuyers used cryptocurrency like Bitcoin to fund their down payments.
So yes, you can use Bitcoin to fund a down payment on a home.
But definitely keep in mind that cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are known for their price volatility.
That`s why you should see cryptocurrency as a bonus funding source rather than relying solely on it for your down payment.
If you`re considering this route or have any other questions related to home buying, I`m happy to answer your questions

And it is certainly the starting point! But these days, Iβm hearing from buyers who are in search of a few extras.
Hereβs a snapshot of what buyers are asking for in their search right now:
π» Home Office Spaces: The percentage of U.S. companies offering flexibility increased from 51% at the start of 2023 to 62% around November. (Forbes) With remote work still going strong, a dedicated (and quiet!) workspace is a must for many.
π² π₯Ύ Outdoor escapes: Private yards and access to parks and trails. Since 2020, the number of people who spend time in nature has increased by more than 25%, according to the 2022 Outdoor Participation Trends Report.
π Energy efficient upgrades: Lower utility bills *and* kinder to the environment - sign buyers up! Energy-star appliances, solar panels, and high-efficiency windows are increasingly sought-after features.
π Move-in ready condition: Minimizing upkeep and maintenance is a big plus β especially for my young families and empty nest buyers.
β
Open layout: No matter what they say, buyers still love those open floor plans with easy flow from kitchen to living rooms.
If youβre thinking about selling, send me a message. I can help match your homeβs features to the wants of my buyers!

First, let go of the idea that the perfect home exists. Instead, focus on finding a home that ticks most of your boxes and has the potential to grow with you in the coming years.
Second: Prioritize your must-haves and make a list. This way, you can focus on whatβs important and avoid getting sidetracked by non-essentials.
Must-haves might include things like:
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β A sufficient number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Adequate square footage
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Safe neighborhood
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Good school district
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Reasonable commute to work or school
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Access to public transportation
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Outdoor space, such as a yard or balcony
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Parking availability
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Move-in ready condition
Wants are features like:
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Updated kitchen and bathrooms
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Open floor plan
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Additional living spaces, such as a den or bonus room
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Walk-in closets
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Energy-efficient appliances or features
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Smart home technology
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Pool or other recreational amenities
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Home office space
Β·Β Β Β Β Β Β Architectural features, such as vaulted ceilings or bay windows
The biggest takeaway? Donβt be afraid to think outside the box.Β Itβs okay to look at homes that require some work to hit your list of must-haves. With a little creativity, you may just be able to transform it into your dream home over time.
I have a lot of experience going through the process of determining needs vs. wants. I can help you make that list and then make it a reality.

Here`s what Kelly had to say about helping her client:
"My first-time home buyer was ready for a fresh start in a house she can make a home.
And we found it.
It was new on the market. It was the first on the list (as it met all the needs & desires) on the day of our home tours. After the 2nd home she said- βletβs make an offer on the first homeβ.
I went back to my office and got to it.
We were the first offer in but, 4 or 5 other offers were also made. After an addendum and bit of negotiating we got it!
She now gets to create a fresh start in her very own home. β€οΈβ€οΈ
And her pup gets a big yard to run around in with chickens and goats as neighbors. This makes me happy too. β€οΈ
Itβs about the story- the life story. Itβs about being a part of other peopleβs stories!"
I couldn`t have said it better myself! Also, peep the cute new homeowner gift basket Kelly gave her!
