How you can choose the best fixtures!

Choosing fixtures for your home can be exhausting! (If you’ve ever visited a lighting store, you know exactly what I’m talking about 😅)⁣First, let’s review the three different types of lighting:⁣⁣1. Ambient lighting: the main source of light in a room (think overhead fixtures or recessed lighting).⁣2. Task lighting: the lighting “tasked” for activities such as working or reading (meant to illuminate a small area; not an entire room).⁣3. Accent lighting: the most decorative lighting in a room (think chandeliers, sconces, and lamps).⁣⁣As you plan, remember most rooms have two types of lighting—some all three. Make a list of the rooms in your home and the different types of lighting you need. Then, you can shop with clarity and purpose even amidst the blinding lights.⁣

Why you shouldn’t be scared to buy in today’s market!

Don’t let interest rates scare you! Today we have more homes on the market for sale than we have seen in 2 years (over 12,500+ in Maricopa and Pinal County’s)!  That means more homes to choose from, more time to make your decision, and more chances to ask for seller concessions if the home needs a little TLC. I just put in an offer asking for seller concessions to help buy down the interest rate for my clients! You could not do that a few months ago. If you are thinking of buying a home here is my #1 tip: CONTACT ME – LOL Have specific questions about the market? Send me a message!

Buying a home? Don’t let multiple offers scare you!

SO many clients have asked me in recent months: “There are 10 offers on this house already. Should we even try?” My answer every time? “YES!” Here’s why: ⁣⁣Contracts fall through for ALL sorts of reasons—from contingencies not being met to financing concerns. You never know what’s going to happen. In a market where multiple offers are common, investors (and sometimes buyers) simultaneously put offers on multiple properties. Then, when they find something better, they simply walk away leaving the property available for another buyer.⁣⁣ And sellers have many reasons for choosing an offer, get a good realtor (like me) to communicate and be your advocate for why YOU deserve that home. While I can’t predict the future or what’s going to happen in a multiple-offer situation, I can say I put ALL my buyers in the best possible position to come out on top! If you find a house you love, go for it—and keep going for it until you succeed! Love Where You Live

Benefits of being a homeowner

Do you wonder why people dream about owning their own home? Are you curious to know some of the benefits of being a homeowner? Here are some of the major benefits: Financial Stability – you are your own landlord and your “rent” will never be raised. Financial Strength – paying down your own mortgage will give you equity in your home so in the future you can sell and make money on your home. Equity can also provide you with cash in hand for other needs like home improvement, education, or lifestyle luxuries like cars and boats. Tax Benefits – write off’s that can help lower your taxable income. Permanent Residence – No yearly contracts to sign, or fear you will not be able to resign in the future if the landlord sells or decides not to rent the property anymore. Sense of Community – there is pride in ownership. Get involved in community events or start some of your own! Email me a message if you are ready to own a home! Love Where You Live

Before you buy a home, you need to know 2 things…

Before buying a home, you really need to think about these two things: your budget and your non-negotiables ⁣⁣Your budget: Don’t just play with online calculators or guess what you can afford. Sit down with a reputable bank or mortgage lender (I can refer you!) to get pre-approved and know what you’re comfortable paying each month. Plus, having a pre-approval letter will strengthen your offers. ⁣Your non-negotiables: What are your “must-haves” in a new home? Need to stay in the same school district? Need a big yard for the kids or a guest room for family? Keep this list short, but clear. You may need to reference it later!⁣ One more thing: As you shop, make sure you heavily weigh a home’s lot, location, and price. Those are three things you’ll NEVER be able to change.⁣⁣ I’d love to help you find a home that checks all your boxes – email or call and I’ll be in touch!⁣ Love Where You Live
