You can never spread too much kindness, am I right? Today is National Random Act of Kindness Day, and I'm planning to share an extra dose with those around me -- wanna join in? Let's do it! Here are a few ideas you can do TODAY: Write a rave online review for a local restaurant you love.... Got a little cash in your wallet? Look for the right time and situation to give it to a stranger. Run by the store and grab a few blankets, toys, or dog food and drop them off at your local animal shelter. Leave a sweet message on your mirror with a dry erase marker to one or all of your family members. When you hear your inner critic in your head, tell yourself something positive you deserve kindness too! Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day, friends! (Feels like it should be every day, don't you think?) See more

Frequently asked question: Should you make repairs to your home before you sell? A stat: According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors), around 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property. This alone shows that while your home doesn’t have to be perfectly flawless, you should invest time and money to get it in working order. Here are a few must-fix items. (And trust me, if you don’t fix the...se now, you’ll be doing it later, promise!): Faulty wiring Grading and drainage issues Roof leaks and shingle problems Foundation issues Heating and air-conditioning problems Plumbing and septic issues When in doubt, ask an agent what to address before listing. Chances are you’ll recoup some or all of the cost you put in when you sell. Thinking about listing your home? I’d love to listen to your plans for selling and offer my input -- no strings attached -- send me a message today! See more

Did you know...when buying a home some times there can be multiple types of inspections done on a property depending on the property type. Inspection costs can add up but spending money on this now can save you thousands down the road! Having inspections let's you know exactly what you're buying and allows your Realtor to negotiate repairs on your behalf. It's money well spent! After all this may be one of the largest investments you'll make in your life!
