That is the question

This time, housing supply is at a historic low. Demand is real and rightly motivated. Even if there were to be a drop in prices, homeowners have enough equity to be able to weather a dip in home values. This is nothing like 2008. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.

So I did a thing! Something I said I would NEVER do again, but I knew this was for a great cause. I joined a ground level (over a year old) farm to table CBD direct sales company. Say What?!! (Yes I am still a Realtor) So how did I get here? Well here is my story: All my life I was prescribed a pill as a solution for issues. Growing up it was Adderall for my ADD, and fast forward to over a year ago, after my second child, I was having more shifts in my mood, I was stressed an...d had major anxiety. Solution? I was prescribed Lexapro to help alleviate some of those feelings and take the edge off. It worked a little too well, I started not to feel anything at all. I was an empty shell, numb to all emotion which happens a lot on those pills. I had to stop and I did. Which brings me here, why couldn’t I have something that was all natural from mother earth to help with anxiety, stress, moods etc.? Problem! CBD is everywhere, and it is so unregulated you never know what is in your CBD bottles. So I did tons of research and 80% of CBD comes from China! They use hemp to clean their air and then its bottled and marketed to consumers in the states (gross). Most CBD is not organic USDA certified so if your CBD doesn’t have a scan code for the lab results, chances are you’re getting additives and sometimes harmful chemicals which is scary. Ahhh and here was Green Compass. A USDA Organic certified CBD company that is truly helping adults, kids, and pets. Its organically farmed in North Carolina, and they 3rd party test everything, and have full transparency. NO STRESS NO ANXIETY UPLIFTED MOOD FOCUSED BETTER SLEEP ALLEVIATES PAIN I believe in everything this company stands for, and I can now enjoy life to the fullest without pills. These products can truly change your life, and the business side is extremely lucrative. If any of this resonates with you as it did me, and you want to join me and help others, or to learn more about CBD, please reach out, I am here to help. (818) 489-4545 or DM me Don’t forget to fol

So you think you’ve found the one and you’re ready to put in an offerone that will be simply irresistible to sellers. Here’s how to make sure yours stands out from the rest: Include a pre-approval letter that shows that you’re serious, qualified, and ready to purchase. Use a friendly tone. Let sellers know you want their homeand that you’ll be easy to work with all the way to closing. Put your best footand priceforward. You may only get one shot, so make it c...ount. Use comps and trends as a guide, but go in with a strong number you know a seller would find favorable. If you can pay all cash, say so. When you don't need financing, your offer is less risky for anxious sellers. Propose to close quickly and only include contingencies if you must. If you really want to make an impression, include a short hand-written note with your offer. Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that have the most significant impact. And of course, when you’re ready, lean on the advice of your agent(me) to write an offer that works for you and gives you every advantage in landing the home of your dreams. If you’re thinking about buying in early 2021, I’d love to help. Send me a message and let’s chat about what you’re looking for. 818-489-4545 See more

Thinking about selling but curious if turning your home into a rental makes more financial sense? Here are several scenarios to help you make the right call. If you need the profits from selling your home to fund your next home, you’ll need to put the brakes on rentingat least for now. If a job has you moving out of the area, but think you may be coming back, renting may be the right moveespecially if you love your current home. (A word of caution: If you tend to fr...eak out about modest home mishaps, handling strangers in your home may not be for good for you or your nerves.) If the rent can cover your mortgage, and you don’t need the profits from selling, renting can be a savvy decision. You just wanna make sure you leave enough wiggle room in the budget for lapse in renters and unexpected repairs. If the rumor mill around you is churning out whispers of higher than asking price and multiple offers, selling may be the way to go. With interest rates so incredibly low, you don’t wanna miss out on all those serious buyers. Before deciding solo, talk with an agent who can give you the rundown on your neighborhood’s rental and housing market. After all, teamwork makes your dream work! Looking for an agent, give me a call. I’d love to help. See more

If you’re wondering how to successfully sell your house, stop here 93% of buyers see your home for the first time online (that number is probably even higher since the pandemic). This means the quality of your home photos is CRITICAL. C.R.I.T.I.C.A.L.... Hiring a professional photographer is non-negotiable. But before they can come in and do their thing, we meet and walk through my checklist to get your home prepped and ready for photos! Here’s a sneak peek: Open all the blinds and curtains Clear off the countertops, (small appliances, mail, cords, clutter) Fluff couch pillows Turn on every lamp and light (and make sure light bulbs are all working) Clear off your dressers, nightstands, and tables Bring symmetry to your bedroom with lamps anchoring both sides of the bed, add a hint of greenery and get a neutral duvet cover Replace family photos with artwork Paint bright walls a neutral shade Hide garbage cans Clear the driveway Refresh landscaping - pull weeds, water flowers, fill in bare spots Store all charging cords and cables Turn off TVs and computer screens Close garage doors Or, just decorate your front porch and that should do the trick Want more information on how to get your home ready to sell?
