Ask any seller that I’ve worked with as a Realto

Ask any seller that I’ve worked with as a Realtor, they get a to-do list from me. Sometimes it’s items they need to repair or clean, but it always includes a safety checklist.
.
My job is to anticipate dangers, safety hazards and keep everyone safe when strangers are traipsing through a home.
.
➡️Has your agent given you a safety checklist? This is something ALL agents should provide their clients— and I’m sharing mine with all of you!
.
🚨In my latest Homes.com article I’m sharing how to keep yourself safe, your home safe all while getting your home sold!

Here’s what you DON’T know about refinancing your home...
.
How many people did you hear talk about wanting to refinance in the last year because interest rates were so crazy low?
.
Maybe you even considered it— or you are now.
.
Inevitably people are caught off guard by the process of refinancing because of what they DON’T know.
.
➡️In my latest Homes.com article I discuss the 5 Surprising Facts About Refinancing Your Home.

❓WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BUY A HOUSE RIGHT NOW?❓ .

❓WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BUY A HOUSE RIGHT NOW?❓
.
It’s a cage fight. It’s crazy out there. It’s cutthroat.
.
Here’s what real estate agents across the board are seeing:
.
✔️Homes sold in hours
.
✔️Homes sold over list price
.
✔️Buyers actually agreeing to pay over appraisal
.
✔️Desperate buyers waiving inspection
.
✔️Standing lines at front doors waiting on the previous showing to finish
.
✔️Rarely is there not a bidding war
.
.
❌LET’S SLOW OUR ROLL❌
.
Just because the market is INSANE, does not mean that you as the buyer should make rash, desperate decisions.
.
Don’t let your desperation cloud your good judgment. Look out for you. Or better yet, hire a Realtor that will go to the mat for your best interests.
.
.
I read an article tonight about people that bought a home during the pandemic, & they were so beat down and desperate from this insane market that they foolishly waived everything and anything to win the bidding war. 🚨SHOCKER: They had buyer’s remorse.🚨
.
Buying a house right now is not for the faint at heart. It requires a diligent, attentive, experienced & patient real estate agent.
.
But it also requires buyers to step back from the madness before it eats your lunch.

I have commitment issues. . It’s why I buy cheap

I have commitment issues.
.
It’s why I buy cheap or used clothing.
It’s why I move every 2 years.
It’s why I always check the return policy.
.
So this whole building a house with a timeless design that I’ll be committed to for many years is, well, overwhelming. Not gonna lie.
.
I don’t want to be 5 years in and panic. Or regret a design choice. In my entire 37 years of living, I’ve never lived in a house more than 5 years. 😳 I get anxious just thinking about living in the same house my entire life.
.
That said, this whole process is a welcomed change. A load off my always-weary shoulders. It’s an opportunity that places me in the best financial situation for my goals. And that’s something I can commit to!
.
But the question I’ve been asked the most about this: HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE THERE? (Because, well, I have a reputation...
.
➡️The Answer: This is the last & final Arkansas house for me. I’ll live here until I retire to Florida...barring some catastrophic life change or some stupid high cash offer from someone! 😂
.
That’s both overwhelming & relieving all at the same time!
.
Pssst- Commitment issues on display: did you notice the price tag still on the bench? I couldn’t decide if I wanted to keep it or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️

8 months from the day I first met my builder & started the process, I finally broke ground on my new home!
.
In those 8 months, I toured a lot of land. A LOT. Made several failed offers. Customized a floor plan— and then made several changes. It’s been a long 8 months— and realistically it’s going to be another long several months.
.
But at least it’s finally feeling real!

Flip 3 holds not only a special place in my heart,

Flip 3 holds not only a special place in my heart, but it’s also the house with an interesting purchase story.
.
I purchased Flip 3 from my dad & his siblings after they inherited it following my grandma’s death. It had been their home since 1964!
.
Inherited properties are tricky. Leaving your heirs property requires proper legal maneuvering. In fact, as part of my purchase- I had to travel to the funeral home that prepared my grandpa for burial to obtain an affidavit that stated my grandfather was in fact dead, embalmed & buried in the state of Arkansas. 😳
.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT INHERITING A PROPERTY....YOU are my audience.

A Rookie Real Estate Agent Belief System: . ➡️

A Rookie Real Estate Agent Belief System:
.
➡️I need to work 24/7
.
➡️I have to accept every client
.
➡️The other agents are my enemies
.
➡️Every human I meet is a possible paycheck
.
A SEASONED REAL ESTATE AGENT BELIEF SYSTEM:
.
➡️Setting office hours & creating a defined shut-off time is essential
.
➡️It’s okay to not accept every person that needs an agent. Some people are so demanding, demeaning & rude that no paycheck is worth it.
.
➡️The other agent is working towards the same goal: closing table. By viewing them as the enemy, you’re creating unnecessary hurdles.
.
➡️Every human I meet is a human. End of story. They deserve to be valued, treated, & respected as a human- not a means to a lead or a paycheck.
.
.
If you’re new & you’re knee-deep in that “gotta hustle” and desperate for leads, evaluate your belief system.
.
.
If you’re a seasoned agent, what would YOU add to those belief systems?
