We`d like to shout out RRG agent, @kellybradley_realestate on her recent closing! 👏🏻
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- “let’s make an offer on the first home”. 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. ❤️❤️ And her pup gets a big yard to run around in with chickens and goats as neighbors. This makes me happy too. ❤️ It’s about the story- the life story. It’s about being a part of other people’s stories!"
I couldn`t have said it better myself! Also, peep the cute new homeowner gift basket Kelly gave her!

As a local agent, I can tell you that pricing a home can be a bit like putting together a puzzle. But once the pieces are there, everything comes together to reveal a home that’s priced just as it should be for buyers AND sellers. 🧩
That said, here’s how I determine the price of a home:
Step 1) Research Comparable Homes: I dig deep into recent sales of homes that are similar to the one you’re interested in. Size, location, age, and condition are key factors I consider. 🏡
Step 2) Factor in Market Conditions: Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market? I analyze trends to see how they affect the demand and supply in the area. 📈📉
Step 3) Adjust for Unique Features: A house isn’t just four walls and a roof, right? I take into account special features, like an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, that can make a difference in the price. 💰
Step 4) Put it All Together: Using all this info, I create a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that helps me pinpoint the right price range for your home. 📊
Now, here’s the thing: pricing a home isn’t an exact science.
There are lots of variables to consider, and it can be tricky to get it just right. That’s why it’s so important to work with an experienced agent who can help you avoid overpricing or underpricing your home. If you’re curious about what your home is worth or how much you can afford to spend on a new one, I’d love to chat with you — DM me or drop a comment below, and I’ll be in touch. 💚...

They’ve faced their fair share of challenges with higher interest rates, home prices, and the struggle to save for a down payment while renting. 💸
The market conditions have not been the friendliest. It was reported that 67% of millennials regret not buying a home when rates were lower.
A remarkable 78% of you are still open to the idea of buying a home
Even if it means navigating higher-than-average mortgage rates and making some compromises.
Today I’m sharing a few clever ways I’ve seen millennials get started on their home buying journeys, despite the setbacks.
Getting in the game: Buying a home just to get into the game, living in it for two years, then using the proceeds to level up to a more desirable home. The key here is to start building equity — then keep going!
House hacking: Buying a duplex or home with a mother-in-law suite and renting it out on airbnb or to a longer term tenant to reduce costs.
Creative financing: Looking into creative financing options - there are some incredible loan programs that offer reduced or 0% down payments. (I’d be happy to connect you with a stellar lender who can put together a few great options!)
Recasting: I’ve seen some paying slightly over the asking price to seal the deal then recasting or refinancing their mortgage at a later date to reduce monthly payments. (Of course, it’s critical to not overextend yourself).

Your path to homeownership could be closer than you think! 🏡...
19% of all homebuyers consider their pets’ needs when choosing a neighborhood. Here’s what pet-loving buyers often prioritize during the buying process:
• Spacious lots and acreage • Walkability • Parks and recreation areas
With that in mind, I had a client who had beautiful dalmations. Her house-hunting priorities included finding a home where the dogs could run and play. I loved helping them find a house that checked all the boxes including acreage her dogs could enjoy! 💚
There’s no denying it—our furry friends bring warmth and love into our homes. If you’re planning to buy a home that caters to you and your pet’s needs, let’s connect and find that puuurfect space for you both! 😉

Get ready to embrace cozy vibes and transform your space with Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year – Peach Fuzz! 🍑
This warm and velvety hue is like a hug for your walls, creating a flattering glow that’s perfect for those windowless bathrooms or dim bedrooms. Not sure where to add this color to your own home? Here are a few ideas:
1️⃣ Accent Wall: Consider painting one wall in a room with Peach Fuzz to create a focal point. This works well in spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, or even a home office.
2️⃣ Soft Furnishings: Introduce the color through soft furnishings like cushions, throws, or curtains. These items can be easily swapped out if you want to change the color scheme later.
3️⃣ Statement Furniture: Invest in a piece of furniture in the Peach Fuzz shade, such as a cozy armchair or a side table. This can add a pop of color without overwhelming the entire room.
4️⃣ Moroccan Tiles: As mentioned in the article, incorporating Peach Fuzz through Moroccan tiles can add a touch of elegance to your kitchen or bathroom. Consider using it as a backsplash or for a decorative element.
5️⃣ Plush Rug or Quilted Blanket: Enhance the coziness of a space by choosing a plush rug or quilted blanket in Peach Fuzz. This is an excellent way to bring warmth to a room.
6️⃣ Artwork: If you prefer subtlety, consider incorporating Peach Fuzz through artwork or framed prints. This allows you to experiment with the color without committing to a large surface area.
7️⃣ Decorative Accents: Scatter Peach Fuzz-colored vases, candles, or decorative objects around the room for a cohesive look.
Remember to consider the existing color scheme and lighting in the room before introducing a new color. Peach Fuzz’s warm and gentle nature makes it versatile and suitable for various design styles. Give it a try in a room where you want to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere! Would you add sprinkles of this color to your home? ⬇...
I don’t know who needs to hear this but YOU are capable of greatness!
I just wanted to share a snippet of my journey - I flunked my Business Communications class twice in college. 😅 It was tough, but instead of letting it define me, I used it as motivation.
Fast forward, and I not only conquered the course but turned the setbacks into stepping stones for success. Life is full of ups and downs, but how we respond shapes our journey. Your dreams are within reach - with persistence, you can accomplish greatness! 💪🏻
After all it does for you, your home deserves some TLC! 🏡 💚
The good news is you don’t have to do it all at once. You can take it one drawer, cabinet, or closet at a time. More on that in a second.
But first, some stats that may give a little pep to your decluttering step this Winter:
• In the U.S., 11.1% of households rent storage space. • About 18% of people renting a storage unit have a four-bedroom home (or larger). • Nearly half of self-storage customers rent for at least a year. • The national average for a storage unit per month is $100.04.
Steer clear of adding your name to these stats by seriously decluttering your home one small space at a time.
Here’s how:
1) Go through old toys your kids don’t play and donate.
2) Pick one drawer or closet every day, set your phone timer for 15 minutes, and see how far you can get.
3) Clear out dishes you don’t use. Also, take a peek in your fridge and pantry and bid farewell to those forgotten items lurking in the back.
4) Don’t forget about unused home decor.
5) Tackle all your storage areas, from the basement to the attic.
