There is no denying that this has been quite the year for everyone - a rollercoaster of events with many ups and downs along the way. In light of that, we want to give you some takeaways we found helpful, so you can end the year on a positive note. 

 

1. Analyze

Assess what you've learned. Maybe you learned a lot of ways to do something (or not to do something). Maybe you've overcome hurdles you've never imagined. There are lessons in the good and the bad.

 

2. Step It Up

To make the best out of any situation, it is important to operate from the highest version of yourself. It’s easy to step back and blame. What’s harder is owning our shortcomings and taking initiative to take action.

 

3. Get Clear

What are you looking…

The home buying process is, by nature, a very involved process -- moving locations, adapting to a new environment, finding the needs of yourself and family members… However, buying during the holidays has its own set of obstacles. Here are a few tips for making the most of your move.


  • Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Buying a home during winter definitely has its perks, but the cold is not necessarily one of them. To make the most of your time - do the research on what you need from a home before going to look at them.

Research the properties that peak your interest and confirm that it has your "must haves", it fits within your budget and it genuinely looks like a place you could see yourself in. This is a simple way to check houses…

Taking the right photos is one of the biggest influencers in marketing a home. Home searchers often use the internet to research homes and high quality pictures that are bright, clear, stand apart from the crowd. This can go a long way in selling your home quickly and can even get you a better deal! We take great pride in having excellent photography and want to put the best foot forward on your home! Here’s what to expect when the time comes: 

 

Have your home ready to shoot

If you’re not a photographer, or familiar with staging a home, sometimes it’s easy to look over the small stuff - the mop in the corner, the plethora of items you like on the bathroom sink for convenience, the used towels in the bathroom, or the assortment of…

When buying or selling a home, it is common practice for a title company to be involved in the transaction. Their primary role is to ensure that the person selling the home has the right to do so. They do this by validating the transaction through extensive fact checking, after their information requirements have been met they then issue a guarantee that is backed by title insurance. This title insurance is meant to protect the lender and the owner from future unsubstantiated claims. The title company has a handful of responsibilities throughout the process. We have created a short list of tasks to give you a better understanding of what value they provide during the transaction.

 

Here’s a list of what they can do for you.

Location, location, location! There are many things you can change about a home, but this isn’t typically one of them. There are no “perfect homes”, every home has its quirks. Find out what is most important to you and what are areas you are willing to compromise on.

Be ready to move quickly when you find what you want. Losing the opportunity to move on your dream home can be heartbreaking.

Pay attention to floor plans, would a particular layout work for better for your lifestyle?

Always do a home inspection. It will save you in the long run.

Vacant homes may appear bigger than they are. Use your phone to take photos, notes or videos of the properties to review later. Property details can blur together after several home viewings.

When faced with difficult situations you have two choices: succumb or overcome. 

To succumb is to fail to resist pressure, temptation, or some other negative force. It is, quite literally, a failure by giving up and letting your environment control you, your surroundings, and your future.

To overcome is to overpower or overwhelm, succeed in dealing with a problem, defeat an opponent and to prevail.

We are given these choices everyday, and must face them head on.

Currently, there are still restrictions on who is considered "essential" and what businesses can operate. I know that this is a point of contention however, I believe all businesses are essential in some way, especially when it comes to local economies. And, of course, people are…

Last spring, I listed a home with a less than ideal floor plan.

I knew it could be a tough sell, but despite the unique design, I found a buyer for our client within 30 days.

We quickly came to an agreement on which repairs needed to take place before closing, and thought to myself, “This is going great and will be such a smooth sale.”

Then, during the repairs, something came up that would significantly increase the cost of repairs.

One of the action items was to install a sump pump in the basement. (A sump pump helps to keep excess water from accumulating, and pumps water to the exterior away from the home.)

And, since this home was built in the 50's, the basement was basically... a solid block of concrete.
