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?

Hey there, friends! For those of you who are new here, I just wanna take a sec and say I’m THRILLED to have you onboard. I can’t wait to share with you my passion for real estate in the Central Valley. A little bit about me:... I’ve been in real estate for almost 5 years and have lived in the Central Valley my whole life. My favorite thing about my job is helping families achieve their dreams towards homeownership and investments. I love, love, love our community! One of my favorite things is our small town feels! My first job was at a local fruit stand in Ripon. Before getting into real estate I was an elementary teacher. I love animals and our current count is 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 pig, plus 2 more 4H pigs coming next month! I'd love to know a bit about you! Introduce yourself in the comments or send me a message. I can't wait to meet you! See more

Last year’s biggest home trends? Stretchy pants, comfy slippers, and the fastest internet money could buy. This year’s trends give us all a little bit more to look forward to. Here's what designers predict for 2021: 1. Cleanliness is still king. Designers anticipate easy-to-clean fabrics and surfaces to remain in demand as a way to help us all stay on top of pesky germs. 2. Expect interior colors to warm up as owners crave warmth, comfort, and coziness. Various shades of... browns, oranges, and reds will the trick. 3. Not into warm hues? Designers think soft shades of blue that create a peaceful vibe will also be popular. 4. Remodeling or building a new construction? Closed floor plans are front-and-center as demand grows for private spaces designated for remote work or at-home learning. 5. Dubbed grandmillienial by House Beautiful, the style showing up everywhere blends grandma’s favorite florals with sleek modern staples. Not sure where to start? Just ask yourself WWGD -- what would Grandma do? What trends are you lovin' early in 2021? Share them below! See more
