Graham Levine and The Home Team. Your LOCAL Real Estate Resource

The age-old question: Is now the right time to buy a home? We totally get it. Jumping into the real estate market, either for the first time or again, is a big decision. The process requires a lot of time and energy, and right now it’s more than a little bit intimidating. But it’s all worth it. ... It’s likely you will *actually* save money in the long run because both rents and home prices are expected to continue their climb, and you get to NOT spend one more second in a place you don’t love. Or don’t own. Plus, buying in this market doesn’t have to be intimidating with trusted real estate agents by your side. (That was your hint to give us a call.) Bottom line? We think now is an AMAZING time to buy, and when you work with us you have an incredible team by your side. That’s what all our past clients say, anyway. The only thing left to do now- Call us! 951.534.9296 #jurupavalleyrealestate #jurupavalleyrealtor #jurupavalleyrealestateagent #jurupavalley #indianhills #wesellindianhills #grahamandthehometeam

Did you know? 41% of buyers used an agent who was referred to them by a friend, co-worker, or family member (source: the National Association of Realtors). That's a significant amount! For many, purchasing a piece of property is the most significant investment of their life and so it's important to have trust and confidence in your real estate agent. Have you referred any real estate agents you worked with to family and friends?

If you are thinking about buying a home in #IndianHills or #JurupaValley right now- you need a fighter. Not a friend, not a buddy, not a pal- an all out warrior ready to do battle on your behalf to get you your home. It is a crazy market and the ONLY people that are successful right now are the ones working with an agent who is willing to do whatever it takes, and has the experience to make it happen. Don’t get us wrong- we’re all for meeting friends for coffee (or a cocktail...). But when it’s time to buy a home- hire a trained, knowledgeable, aggressive champion as your Realtor. . . . . #wesellindianhills #grahamandthehometeam #jurupavalleyrealestate #jurupavalleyrealestateagent #jurupavalleyrealtor #indianhillsjurupavalley See more

Giggle fits. Cannonball contests. Lazy Saturday mornings that smell like pumpkin spice pancakes and sound like Yes, I’d love a second cup of coffee. Zoom calls where you walk around, laptop in hand, showing everyone your new home, and they all say the same thing- We LOVE it. It’s perfect. It is SO YOU! That is what life would sound like, look like, smell like, FEEL like if you made 31896 Corte Mendoza yours. When people talk about the ‘total package,’ it very well may be ...this exact home they have in mind. It sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the perfect place to learn how to ride a scooter or teach little ones how to ride a bike without the training wheels. And with Vintage Hills Elementary a 5-minute walk away, afternoons can be spent perfecting kickflips or sidewalk chalk art- not sitting, waiting, in the pick-up lane. Weekends will be at your place, always, once your tribe sees the oversized pool, bubbling spa, and outdoor kitchen. Just add sunscreen, burgers, and some splash-proof speakers pumping out happy tunes to achieve lounging perfection. Inside, the home is modern and bright. Flooded in natural light, with on-trend designer touches in every room- this is a home for someone with STYLE. But because it also has 5 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and almost 2,400 square feet of living space, it works for someone who knows that SUBSTANCE matters too. Style and substance, form and function, fashion, and most of all fun. Like we said- The total package. But, just like everything else that everyone wants, it won’t last. Don’t wait.

Lesson time! Today’s lesson is covering one important step of the home-selling process: giving your property a #makeover. You may believe your home is at its best, but giving it a little refresh is essential to making sure it’s 100% up-to-date and potential buyers can envision themselves living there. Spend some time prepping your home by doing some deep cleaning , perhaps a fresh coat of paint , and minimizing the amount of decor and furniture.... Your listing agent can actually also assist you in what you should do to prep your home to hit the market. Naturally- we’d LOVE it if that agent was us .

Happy #laborday!!! How are yo celebrating today?

Alright Jurupa Valley- We have a HEATWAVE headed our way this weekend. And though that is going to make late-night lounging by the fire pit glorious- it could be less than lovely for your pets. Our dogs (yes, plural, because we are HUGE animal lovers!) just sit in the house and stare at us when we go out back and it’s too hot. They have this very clear I am NOT going out there look on their faces. Oh well, more sunshine for us! If your dogs aren’t as picky (read: spo...iled) as ours, and they will be venturing out this weekend, we have a couple of tips to help keep them cool. 1Lay out a damp towel Laying out a damp towel in the shade is a great way to give your pup a quick cool down 2Add ice to their water Provide lots of fresh water to your furry friends. Better yet, add ice cubes regularly to their drinking water 3Consider sunscreen For pups with thin skin or light-colored fur, pink noses and ears, consider using a dog-friendly sunscreen 4Watch for heatstroke Symptoms may include vomiting, lack of coordination, heavy panting, and a rapid pulse See more
