DECEMBER 2 | One thing I’d like to renovate in my house is….

 

Whether it’s a bathroom or the kitchen, there are many benefits (some more obvious than others) to renovating your home, here’s just a few!

🔸 Make it a safer place to live:
Roof leaks, cracks in walls, electrical problems are all a cause for concern and can cause harm and damage if left untreated.

🔸 Increase the property value:
Whether it’s rewiring, adding attic insulation, or a kitchen upgrade, making updates to your home can have a significant impact.

🔸 Improve your home efficiency and lower your electricity bills:
Did you know, by insulating your home you save from 10 to 50% on your heating and cooling bills?

🔸 Improve the quality of life:
Sometimes homes can be impractical, especially for our unique lifestyle or needs. Updating your home to a better layout or adding another bathroom can make us happier and more comfortable with where we live.

***** ALTERNATIVE CAPTION

Should I renovate my home before selling?” As a realtor, I get asked this question A LOT…..and honestly, there’s no easy answer. Certain renovations might not raise the value of your home enough to break even on the cost. 💰💰 That’s why it’s important to work with a real estate agent that you trust. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

A realtor understands what buyers want, can help you consider timelines of renovations and selling, and of course, knows the ins and outs of the market in your area. 📈 I’m curious to know, what is it that you’d renovate in your home before selling?

DECEMBER 4 |  3 Tips to help you stay on track (Buyer Tip )

 

 

Finding your ideal home is an exciting adventure that at times can be all-consuming. 😩 If you feel like you’re spinning out, wandering aimlessly from property to property, I get it. House hunting burnout is real.

To remedy this, I’ve put together 3 tips to help you stay on track and kick your stress to the curb. 👌👌

 

🔸 Make a must-have list and stick to it!  📝
This is not as easy as it sounds. Before you start looking, write down the non-negotiable features your new home has to have. That way, when looking at listings you can easily decide if they are worth your time.

🔸 Embrace compromise
It’s very rare to find a home that checks off all your boxes unless you’re designing it yourself, so compromise is more common than you might think — 70% of homebuyers do.

🔸Think long-term, baby!
Starter home? Forever home? 🤔 These are the convos you need to have with your agent.

When it comes to searching for the perfect home, it can be easy to get carried away by trivial things and to get frustrated with the process, so it’s important to make sure you stay focused for the best chance at success.

Here are 3 tips to help you stay on track!

 

1️⃣ Be patient
Demand is still at a high right now, so it might take longer than usual to find a house that comes close to checking off all your boxes.

2️⃣ Embrace compromise
It’s very rare to find a home that checks off all your boxes, unless you’re designing it yourself, so compromise is more common than you might think — 70% of homebuyers do.

3️⃣ Know your top priorities
knowing what features are musts and which are nice-to-haves will help you stay focused.

✔️ BONUS: Commit! With the current demand and market trends, don’t be surprised if there’s no room for negotiation or much time to make a decision!

DECEMBER 7 | Home Warranties

 

A home warranty is NOT the same thing as home insurance. So what is it? And is it worth it? I’m breaking it down below 👇

 

🗝 Home warranties are designed to protect your home’s appliances and systems from breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear for a set period of time, unlike homeowners insurance, which pays for damages and loss caused by unexpected events such as fire and weather damage.

🗝 What does it cover? Major appliances, like water heaters, stoves, and refrigerators. It may also include systems such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.

 

Make sure you read the fine print of your plan so you know what’s covered and what isn’t!

 

What are the pros?

✅ Peace of mind for those purchasing a home with used appliances and older systems
✅ Convenience: there’s no need to spend time researching dozens of repair technicians
✅ No DIY skills or tools needed
✅ Relatively inexpensive to purchase

 

What are the cons?

❌ Set coverage limits per repair or per year
❌ You have to pay a service call fees every time an incident happens
❌ Claims can be denied if an item has not been properly maintained
❌ Less Control: home warranty companies determine whether to fix or replace a system
❌ You might never use it

 

So, do you need one? It depends on the home you’re buying and your appliances. If it’s a new home or the appliances are brand new, you’ll most likely be covered by warranties already and may not need the extra protection.

Let me answer any questions you have……Send me a DM. let’s chat!

Is a home warranty really worth it? Here are some pros and cons so you can decide for yourself.

 

Pros: 👍

✔️Peace of Mind
✔️Convenience
✔️Save Money in the long run

Cons: 👎

❌Service Call Fees
❌Fine Print
❌ High out of Pocket Costs
❌Less Control

Do you have a home warranty? If so, I’d love to hear your pros & cons.

DECEMBER 8 | Sold is my Favorite 4-letter word

 

Everything I touch turns to SOLD 😉  Here are my tips to have your home sold fast and for top dollar:

🗝 Price it right! You can have the property staged and all the marketing in the world won’t sell an
overpriced home.

🗝 Whether it’s the most sought-after condo in town or the home where layout seems to have
been an afterthought, good staging can change the game.

🗝 It has to look its best the day the doors open for that first buyer and agent. Make sure it’s clean
and smells fresh.

🗝 High-quality photos from a professional are a must and there’s no excuse not to include video and 3D models in the marketing plan as well.

Thinking about selling? DM me for a no-obligation, free market analysis of your home.

DECEMBER 11 | Top mistakes to avoid when choosing your real estate agent

 

There are a lot of real estate agents out there all trying to get your attention and ability to show you homes. But how do you choose the right agent?

➡ Check out 3 mistakes to avoid when picking out your real estate agent:

📌 Don’t feel obligated to choose an agent you used previously if you were not satisfied with how things went down last time.
📌 Don’t feel obligated to choose family or friends who are agents, or a connection through a friend. Take recommendations, but use them at your own discretion.
📌 Check references! You wouldn’t believe how many people have been blindsided by an agent that has been poorly reviewed, yet they never managed to do their homework. Get three most recent references!

Comment what your number 1 concern is when choosing a real estate agent ⬇

 

 

**** ALTERNATIVE CAPTION

 

You absolutely should be picky when choosing your agent! And I am about to break it down for you….What you should AVOID at all costs before it ends up costing you!

📌 Social Media Count | Don’t base your preference of a real estate agent on social media. We hold social media accounts to a weird standard, but what does it really mean? Having an aesthetically pleasing feed isn’t equivalent to the type of agent that can get you what you need. Just sayin’!

📌 Low Commissions | Low commissions mean they’re just trying to get you into a home so they can get your money, honey.

📌 No Experience | And let me say, having no experience in a slow market speaks VOLUMES. People need to learn as the times happen, yes. But in such an unpredictable time at the moment, you need an agent who has been in a similar situation before.

Did you know 36.6% of US households are renting… the largest percentage since 1965!

The U.S. Census Bureau data shows that more U.S. households are renting than at any point in 50 years, with 36.6% of households renting their home. The last time the renting level was this high was in 1965, with a rate of 37%

While homeownership remains a goal for many renters, landlords are at an advantage in a rental market with high demand. Higher demand means landlords can typically charge higher rental rates and be choosier about to whom they rent.

DECEMBER 27 |  Non Refundable EMD

Making your earnest money deposit (EMD) can show the sellers how serious you are about buying the house. It shows that you are willing to put that EMD amount on the line in good faith that you won’t back out of the deal.

Here’s a more in-depth look:

✔️ Earnest money is a deposit made to a seller that represents a buyer’s good faith to buy a home.
✔️ Earnest money protects the seller if the buyer backs out.
✔️ It’s typically around 1% – 3% of the sale price
✔️ It is held in an escrow account until the deal is complete.

Making your EMD non-refundable means that if you back out of the purchase of the home, you won’t be able to get your money back at all.

If you want to look like a serious buyer, the first thing you need to do is show the seller that you can actually close on the home. This means obtaining a mortgage pre-approval. If you’re a cash buyer, it’s a good idea to submit proof of funds along with your offer.

🗝 Submit earnest deposit
Earnest deposit is money that you submit to the seller along with your offer to show that you’re serious about buying the home. If you don’t fulfill your obligations under the contract, the money goes to the seller.

🗝 Don’t take forever to inspect
Sellers don’t want to wait for weeks to find out whether you’re going to accept the property in its current state or ask for repairs or concessions. If your offer contains an inspection period that’s half as long as a competing offer, that could be a very attractive feature to sellers.

Inventory remains low, and with mortgage rates at near-record lows, competition for homes could heat up even more in 2022. A well-constructed offer can make you stand out as a serious buyer and give you the best chance at getting your dream home under contract.

DECEMBER 29  | How to Improve your Credit Score to Get a Mortgage

 

So…How do you improve your Credit Score?

Your credit score changes monthly. With these simple changes, you can increase your credit score and your chances of approval for a mortgage loan.

🗝 Bring your Accounts Current
🗝 Pay your Debts Down
🗝 Don’t Close Old Credit Card Accounts
🗝 Don’t Apply for New Credit

You don’t need a perfect credit score to get a mortgage, but the higher your score is, the more likely you are to get approved. Working on your credit score before you apply increases your chances of approval. It also helps you get better terms and interest rates.
