Going Boujie on a Budget

July 16, 2024

In real estate, we’ve seen impactful upgrades that give a home a fresh look while still being easy on the wallet.

These are a few of our favorite budget-friendly fixes:

  • Replace faucets and cabinet hardware. Estimated cost: $150-$400 for a kitchen faucet and $5-$25 per cabinet pull.
  • Upgrade door knobs and hardware. Estimated cost: $28 per passage door and $31 per privacy lock.
  • Swap builder-grade switch plates for decorative ones. Estimated cost: $5-25 per plate, depending on style.
  • Refresh rugs. Estimated cost: $189 for a 5×8 rug (check out our rug-picking guide).

We are a huge proponent of making small changes that go a long way.

What if life gets better the moment you decide to look for it? 💭

I’m a firm believer that gratitude changes the filter on your entire day. When we stop to ask, “Isn’t it wonderful?” we start noticing the small wins that lead to big breakthroughs, in our homes, our careers, and our relationships.

It’s a simple shift that changes everything.

Drop a “✨” in the comments if you’re choosing to see the wonderful today!

Real estate can feel like a lonely business... but I promise you, it doesn’t have to be. ✨

When I look at this video, from our strategic mastermind sessions to giving back to the community we love, and yes, even kicking back at our beach retreat, I don’t just see “coworkers.” I see a tribe.

I’ve always believed that who you surround yourself with dictates your growth. At our brokerage, we believe in high-level collaboration over cut-throat competition. We believe in celebrating the wins, supporting each other through the tough transactions, and actually enjoying the ride.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re on an island in your business, consider this your invite to the mainland. 🏝️

Let me let you in on a little secret... 🤫

Everyone waits for spring. They wait for the flowers to bloom and the “For Sale” signs to pop up everywhere. But you know what else pops up in spring? Bidding wars. Stress. Over-asking offers.

Here is why winter is actually your Power Play:

Serious Sellers: If a house is on the market right now, there is a reason. These sellers are motivated, which means we have room to negotiate.

Zero Crowds: No elbowing through open houses. You have the breathing room to make a decision.

Leverage: Prices often soften, and homes sit a little longer. That puts the ball in your court.

Don’t wait to compete with the crowd. Let’s use the cold to get you a hot deal. 🔥

Send me a DM if you want to see what’s sitting on the market right now.

What your Zestimate isn’t telling! Have you ever looked at your Zestimate and thought, “Oh sweet! We’re rich!” 💰

Then your realtor comes and bursts your bubble?

You’re not a lone in that. But here’s the truth…

Zillow doesn’t know your homes value like your local realtor does.

I can give you an accurate valuation so you can know exactly what your house is worth in the current market.

I just adore Oksana. Spending the evening in her beautiful home, sharing the most delicious dinner with her and her boys, was such a joy.

This incredible mama of four is doing truly amazing things. While her husband is in Ukraine caring for his mom, she continues to show up with so much strength, grace, and love.

Getting to help her move from a two-bedroom apartment into a 3,000+ square foot home was one of those moments that reminds me why I love what I do.
