Every real estate agent you know is shouting, "LOW INVENTORY! LOW INVENTORY!" Maybe so much so that you've tuned 'em out or keep thinking, so what? What's that got to do with me? Truth is if you're a homeowner thinking to sell or home shopper looking to buy, low inventory means EVERYTHING! FOR THE HOMEOWNER LOOKING TO SELL:... The time is NOW! With low inventory (translation: not that many homes are for sale), you're not going to have to compete with as many other homes to attract buyers. Even with low inventory set your asking price at market value. Doing so means you’re likely to attract more buyers and possibly set off a lucrative bidding war. You're going to get a greater return on your investment. Rising prices mean that homes are also gaining value! FOR THE HOME SHOPPER LOOKING TO BUY: Time is of the essence when inventory is low. Do everything you can NOW (gather down payments funds, get pre-approved, have your home ready to sell) so when you find your dream home you. can act, and act fast! Keep your offer as "clean" as possible. Now isn't the time to pack your offer up with contingencies, concessions, closing dates, or repairs. Beware of renegade emotions. Whether it's a competitive bidding war or losing out on another home you just KNEW was the one, fight to keep your emotions in check. Stay patient and stay in the game the right house will come along at just the right time. If you have even the slightest inkling of selling, DON'T PUT IT OFF any longer. At least speak with an agent who can help you assess the changing market conditions and let you know what you can expect to sell your home for chances are you'll be pleasantly surprised! See more

What are you up to this Sunday? Are you squeezing every second out of the weekend or already prepping for the week ahead? Today I will be showing another home to one of our clients and I feel like we are getting closer to the home that fits them and their needs! Each time I show a home, I want to make sure the clients can SEE themselves living there. If the vibe doesn't feel right, we should move to the next one.... This whole process is a journey, and I am with my clients every step of the way. From the beginning to the end when we finally get to hand them the keys! No matter how you’re spending your day, I hope you have a smile on your face. Enjoy, friends! See more

Happy Friday! Starting off my morning with cuddles from Kobe Now off to looking at new homes coming on the market for our clients #catstagram #throwbackpic

Think the highest offer on a home always wins? Think again. Here are four reasons why a seller may not choose the highest offer: 1. A buyer brings an all-cash offer: A buyer paying cash means there won’t be any financing pitfalls and sellers LOVE avoiding pitfalls. 2. A buyer can close ASAP: If a seller is antsy to get moving, an offer from a buyer who can close quickly will zoom to the top of the stack. 3. A buyer shares their story. Sometimes buyers want sellers to k...now exactly why their house is the one. And sometimes, that’s all it takes for a seller to agree especially if a seller has lived in the home for decades and their move is a sentimental one. 4. A buyer doesn’t ask for contingencies. A common contingency is that a buyer must sell his or her home before buying. Sellers love when an offer is free and clear of cumbersome contingencies totally out of their control. It’s true you want to go in with a strong offer price-wise, but that’s not the only thing sellers are looking for. Sellers want an offer that’s competitive, clean, AND close-to-asking price the closer you can get to all three, the better! Have questions? Send me a message! See more
