Price per square foot is no way to determine a home’s value. It’s not always apples to apples. Think QUALITY per square foot! Picture this, two homes have the exact same footprint but one has been completely renovated with a new roof, new flooring, updated appliances, etc. and the other untouched in 30 years, there’s no fair comparison.... #experiencematters #whoyouworkwithmatters #getexpertadvice #realtorsofinstagram #santarosavalley#pinnacleestateproperties

How do plants purify our air? Let's look back at science class: During photosynthesis, plants convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen and remove toxins from the air we breathe. NASA tested this theory in a landmark 1989 study when they examined how popular houseplants diffuse many toxic chemicals including the following: Formaldehyde, which can cause irritation to nose, mouth, and throats.... Benzane, which can cause irritation to eyes, drowsiness, dizziness, increase in heart rate, headaches, and confusion. Trichlorothylene, which can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In that study, they found several, no-fuss plants that actually filter out the bad stuff and easily grow indoors. How many plants do you need to purify a room? The more plants, the better. To reap the benefits, have at least two plants per 100 square feet. Keep in mind that plants with larger leaves think: palms purify air quicker. Bill Wolverton, the man behind the NASA study, also recommends fern and ivy plants because they take up the most surface area.

A Korean Prince and Princess Now Call a $12.6 Million Thousand Oaks Estate Home Andrew Lee, Indiana-bred tech entrepreneur and heir to the Joseon dynasty, landed a big, new place in Ventura County Dated -December 14, 2020... Move over Harry and Meghan, another handsome young prince and his wife have bought an even bigger estate (in terms of acreage) than the ex-royal couple. Andrew Lee, a tech entrepreneur and royal heir to the Joseon dynasty of South Korea, and his wife, princess Nana Lee, recently purchased a palatial storybook castle on more than 20 acres in Hidden Valley, an equestrian community just north of Los Angeles. The $12.6 million dollar mansion was the priciest real estate transaction in Thousand Oaks this year. The property is part of the White Stallion Ranch, a collection of extravagantly themed luxury homes developed in 2006 by Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis. The opulent 14,000-square-foot house, inspired by the palace at Versailles, has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a wine tasting room, gym, movie theater, and custom-made chandeliers and fountains. The acreage is dotted with formal gardens and limestone walkways that lead to an infinity pool. Lee, who describes himself as a regular dude, was born in Indiana and has sold several tech startups. He marketed fancy cigars, sports shoulder-length locks and favors hip-hop gear, and is a longtime Bitcoin promoter. At a 2018 Passing of the sword ceremony inside Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills, Lee was named successor to the throne by His Imperial Highness King Yi Seok, the only remaining heir living in Korea to the Joseon dynasty. The family ruled Korea from 1392 to 1897.

THE TOP REASONS WHY THE SELLER DIDN’T PICK YOUR OFFER 1. There are many factors but who they choose may or may not have certain factors the owners look for such as ability to qualify, 2. You didn’t do your research! If you are competing with other offers on the house you love, it’s so important to spend some time finding out what is important to the seller. Do the sellers want a specific closing date or length of time before closing? Would allowing the...m to rent it back for 1-2 weeks post closing be helpful to them in the transition into their new home? Your agent should find out how you can be accommodating to the sellers to strengthen your offer in more ways than one. 3. You raised red flags from the get go this could be a long list of contingencies and extended time frames for meeting them the sellers are going to pick the easiest well qualified buyer, not the most complicated or risky! 4. You didn’t offer your highest and best but what does that really mean? It means offering what you’re willing to pay for the home from the start. Sometimes owners choose a person based on other factors besides money that have nothing to do with you. Especially in multiple offer scenarios. You shouldn’toverpay for a property either. It just means that doing your due diligence with your agent up front to determine what is too much for you to offer on the house vs where you feel comfortable. A house is only worth what buyers are willing to pay for it. This also isn’t the time to wait for the sellers to counter. When you meet with your Real Estate Agent prior to looking at homes, you can learn about the market you’re buying in to determine strategy! Ask questions like What is the average days on the market in this price range? and How much over asking are homes selling for then write your offer accordingly and timely! #newhouse #realestate #buyingahome #homebuyers #luxurylistings

Why is it important to get #preapproved before purchasing a home? 1 You can set up your budget in advance. A home is a big investment, and so knowing what your mortgage will be can help you set up your budget and financial plans early on in the process. 2 You will give the impression of being a responsible buyer. Sellers are looking for someone who takes the purchasing process seriously and if you show the seller you’re pre-approved already, they are much more likely ...to go into negotiations. 3 You have more negotiating power. Since a mortgage will show the seller that you, as a homebuyer, are qualified to purchase a home, the seller may be open to a larger range of bidding prices due to decreased risk of financial losses. 4 You can move in faster! Being pre-approved means you already got one of the biggest steps done and you can move on to the closing process quicker. Before you know it, the keys will be yours! #homebuyingmadeeasy

"THIS IS IT!" you think, giddy with excitement as you realize you finally found THE house! But before you start picking out furniture or paint colors, first you have to write an offer which means determining an offer price - How do you determine what your offer price should be? Here is a sneak peek into the strategic offer writing formula:... Step 1: Know the market (aka be an educated buyer) - This is critical to writing an offer confidently and preventing cold feet. Your Real Estate Agent is the key to your education! You'll want to know things like: Is it a buyer or seller's market in the area where you're looking? How quickly are homes selling? What is the average list to sold price? We run comps to substantiate what to offer and review it with you. Step 2: You should know your budget inside and out by now - you'll want to know your numbers so you are comfortable with the price you're offering and know the difference a $10-20,000 swing will make in your mortgage payment. Don’t forgot to consider closing costs as part of your available funds to purchase. Step 3: Check the stats - how long has the house been on the market? This is one quick indicator of how in demand the house is. From there you can determine if there are other offers on the table and therefore how aggressive your offer needs to be. Step 4: Combine Steps 1-3 to determine a smart offer price! As your realtor, I will always advise on a strong offer price!

Find out how much you can afford so we know what price range to start your home search! I can connect you with a great lender who can guide you through the lending process. Most financial advisers agree that people should spend no more than 28 percent of their gross monthly income on housing expenses and no more than 36 percent on total debt that includes housing as well as things like student loans, car expenses and credit card payments. A good mortgage broker will give ...you the full picture of what to expect and explain all of the expenses to prepare for through closing. Talk to your lender and don’t forget to ask about estimated closing costs which are separate from the down payment and are paid out of pocket at the end of a transaction. They are not included in your loan. Message me here for more details!

How to keep your home safe during the holidays: Tip 1: Invest in a smart doorbell - this will allow you to keep an eye on package deliveries, who's coming and going, and make sure you're not getting any porch pirates. Tip 2: Don't post your out of town adventures online. Wait until you get home to share the photos. *ESPECIALLY* if your house is for sale - there are so many eyeballs on it online so you want to make sure no one knows that the house is empty!... Tip 3: If you do live in a cooler climate, inspect the furnaces and chimney before you heat your home. Tip 4: Invest in a smart thermostat that will allow you to check on and alter the temperature from anywhere. Tip 5: Check batteries on smoke alarms and Carbon Monoxide detectors. Tip 6: Use a smart timer on your outdoor Christmas lights. Tip 7: If you're heading out of town, let a neighbor friend know so they can keep an eye on your house! #homesafety #realestatesuperhero

Selling With Kids? Here Are A Few Tips Make sure your kids are aware of the sale. Make the home appealing to the masses. Get Rid of heavy decor. ... Get a storage space for excess toys. Clean, clean, clean. Don't Make Notice 24 Hour Notice Required on Showings. Plan out what your family will do during showings & open houses. Helping Kids After The Sale. Getting the kids to understand why there is a need for relocating is a significant battle. However, your work is not done once the purchase and sale are signed. It will be essential to have them remain excited from the start right on through the finish when you are packing and then the actual move. Keep in mind they may outwardly show you that the move is no problem( if you’re lucky), but on the inside, they are probably still going through some turmoil. One of the best things you can do to help them adjust is by encouraging them to meet new friends right away. Once you get settled into the new home, try to get some play dates set up with other families that have kids in the neighborhood. Getting them involved with projects and activities at school is another excellent way for them to meet new friends as soon as possible. Adjusting to a relocation can be very difficult for some kids. Do your best to make the transition easier for them. Show them photos or take them to see their new home and spend a day visiting the area. Kids Health has an outstanding resource for helping kids to prepare for moving. It is worth checking out.

You just got an offer, now what? Let’s break down your negotiating power 1. Length of contingencies: When a buyer submits an offer, they will include any necessary contingencies such as the home inspection, appraisal, and financing. These contingencies have deadlines attached to them in your contract. If you are trying to juggle a double move (sell your house and buy) you'll want to make sure these deadlines aren't being extended longer than necessary. ... As the seller, you have the option to write a counter offer and reduce the contingency deadlines to what you and your real estate agent think is more reasonable if needed. 2. You want to close on a specific date - let the buyer's agent know that before they even write the offer (if they give you a head's up). In most cases at the moment, the ball is in the seller's court due to the lack of inventory. That gives you more negotiating power which means if you aren't ready to move out for 90 days, you can likely make that happen! 3. Those dreaded repairs from the home inspection ..... here's the thing, you don't have to repair every single thing the buyer asks for, much less every single thing on the report. Everything is negotiable. We go over those as they come up because we have no way of knowing in advance. If there are major repairs that affect the value, safety or health of the property, those are the things you'll most likely need to take care of to get to the closing table. Then maybe the buyer would agree to a credit so they can handle them they way they want after closing. (Tip: that usually works out best and is less of a headache for you). 4. The buyer's security deposit - the earnest money! You can always counter an offer and ask that the buyers increase their earnest money amount. There are a variety of factors that would determine whether or not that is necessary that we can discuss at the time of the offer!

Who doesn’t love holiday florals at home or the office? Strawflowers are now in season! At first glance, they resemble daisies, but touch the brightly colored blooms & it is apparent how they got their name. The petals are stiff & papery and actually aren’t true petals at all, but leaves called bracts. They are excellent as dried flowers because the petals have a dry, papery feel. Strawflower bring vivid colors to flower arrangements and their cut blooms can be used in cr...aft projects, such as dried-flower wreaths, swags, potpourri additions etc. : Choose sturdy stems with blossoms that have begun to open, but have not yet revealed their centers. Cut at a 45-degree angle across each stem just above its base. Arrange in vases or soaked floral foam. With a change of water and a daily snip to the bottom of each, the stems should stay firm for up to 10 days in a vase. : Cut stems in the same manner as listed above and bunch them together. Make sure to harvest them when partially opened as they will continue to open after picking. Suspend the flowers upside-down in a dry location until the stems dry out. Remove the stems & use wires in their place for everlasting arrangements and craft projects. For more home tips, follow me on social media
