How do I narrow down neighborhoods for my home search?

We’re fortunate that we live in an area with three jurisdictions to pick from! But it can be overwhelming when you can envision yourself in a lot of different areas. There are lots of things to consider when picking your next home — not only the home itself, but where that home lies. Here […]

Mortgage Financing in a Hyper Competitive Market (Part 1, preparing to make an offer)

Anyone who has been thinking about purchasing a home within the past year has heard over and over how competitive the marketplace is. The severe lack of residential inventory has affected all price points and all types of properties. Rising interest rates may cause some purchasers to exit the process, but the need for […]

How will I know?

When searching for “the one”, so many have the same question. To quote the late, great Whitney Houston — “How will I know?” In fact, buying a home is a lot like falling in love and can sometimes last a lot longer! You will also find that friends and family may want to weigh […]

Real Estate Is a 20% down payment really necessary? Buyers often think they need to make a 20% down payment on their new home, but is it really necessary? Although there are significant advantages that kick in at the 20% threshold, a large down payment may not be necessary or appropriate for all buyers, depending on their circumstances. Here are some of the […]

Real Estate Real estate jargon. Just what are you talking about? Real estate agents use a lot of industry specific lingo. To the new home buyer, it may sound like we’re speaking a different language. It’s not unusual to have a client say, “what does that mean?” I get it. If I was in your office, I probably wouldn’t have any idea what you were […]

Real Estate Love It or List It? Whether or not you’ve seen the TV show, the “LOVE IT OR LIST IT?” question is one familiar to many. Once upon a time, that question was somewhat straightforward, but now with many supply chain constraints and limited housing inventory, it’s more complicated. Let’s break down the two options. LOVE IT What if you […]

Real Estate What is all this talk about waiving contingencies? It seems unfair. If you’re a buyer now, or will be in the near future, you may be asking yourself, “do I really have to risk so much to win a home?” I challenge you instead think of it this way, “what strategies can I implement to reduce risk and position myself to win a home?” In our […]

Real Estate And they knew I was coming over… Realtors don’t judge, but we have seen everything . . . and we could write a book. Tell-all books continue to be the rage, but the story you want to tell about the home you are going to sell or lease should be happy, not scandalous. Buyers or potential lessees should be delighted to see the space […]

Real Estate Do I need to renovate in order to sell?

Real Estate This might be a silly question, but…? “I have a silly question” is something that I hear far too frequently and usually followed by something that I’ve been asked before and isn’t silly at all. Frankly, in my opinion, there are no silly questions. Before I went full time into real estate, I taught health to 6-12th graders. Like real estate, the […]

What is also important is understanding the differences between the two! While many have heard of HOAs and condos, not many understand exactly what they […]

Signed, Ann D.) For instance, I absolutely hate to throw out old files which, of course, can be scanned […]

Real Estate Zillow closes iBuyer; what does that mean? If you follow real estate at all, you probably saw the announcement that Zillow is closing its iBuyer program. This is big news, but what does it really mean for Zillow and the real estate industry? First, let’s clarify what is an iBuyer program. It’s where deep-pocketed online companies give sellers an instant cash offer […]
