I couldn’t be more excited for the two military families involved in this transaction! Just three years ago, I helped a young guy headed into the Navy buy his first home. Now he’s ready for the next chapter and he’ll be walking into it with a chunk of profit in his hand! Good call on buying the house, Josh. Real estate really is the best investment.

GOAL ACHIEVED β¨π
One of the things all real estate agents work hard to achieve is hitting their cap. What does that mean? It means that agent has sold enough homes that they no longer have to give a portion of their commission back to their company. #lovemyjob #exprealty #capitolregroup #desireedayrealestate
Whether you call it un-staging or de-staging it’s wayyyyyyy less fun tearing down than setting up. π But feeling grateful for another home closed, and another staging job that helped it get that way. ποΈπ‘

This one came full circle! I took it as a listing when it had been a rental for 10 years and was in serious need of love. I sold it to a colleague who then completely renovated it with her husband. They sold it back to my very sweet client , who lived in it for a year or two then decided to travel on the next phase of her life! And this adorable little home has a new owner today. So its story continues.π

FEEL GOOD TRANSACTION OF THE YEAR! πππ‘
Wow, this real estate transaction was such a DELIGHT all the way around.
- I got to help a single momma start over with her own home that she purchased all by herself!
- I worked with a lender I hadn't had the pleasure of working with yet and he was the bomb!
- The listing agents made me teary-eyed with all the graciousness they showed my client by repeatedly going the extra mile without being asked!
A good agent surrounds herself with amazing people to give the best service possible to her clients.

When a home sells for above list price in this market, it’s because the homeowner and the real estate agent are partners with a common goal. Working together to achieve maximum profit requires an investment of time and effort. I give 110% to each and every one of my listings. That’s my business model.

It’s true. Buying a home is a life-changing decision — and one no one should take lightly. If you’re thinking of buying in 2022, my advice is to gather as much info as you can from friends, family members who've been through the process, and from industry experts like me!
At the top of the list to learn? The pros and cons of renting vs. buying.
PROS AND CONS OF BUYING
Pros: Build equity, fixed monthly payment, tax benefits, can remodel and customize, stability
Cons: Hefty down payment, upkeep and maintenance costs, property taxes, HOA fees, not easy to move
PROS AND CONS OF RENTING
Pros: Upkeep and maintenance costs covered, no property taxes, avoid market fluctuations, easy to move
Cons: Won’t build equity, rent may increase, no tax benefits, can't remodel or customize, pets may not be allowed (sniff, sniff).
If you’re still not sure whether you should rent or buy, DM me and let’s discuss your options to find the right solution for you. That's why I'm here!
