Hey there homeowners! Did you know that understanding your home equity can help you make better financial decisions? Let's break it down together with these simple steps: 1️⃣ Take the current market value of your home and subtract any outstanding mortgage balance. This will give you the total amount of equity in your home. 2️⃣ Keep in mind that your home equity can increase over time if the market value of your home goes up or if you make extra payments towards your mortgage. 3️⃣ Use this calculation to see how much you could potentially borrow against your home or even use it as collateral for a loan. Understanding your home equity can give you a better idea of your financial standing and help you make informed decisions for the future. If you would like a more complete CMA with Home Equity report for your home, please give me a call. #HomeEquity #RealEstateTips #FinancialLiteracy

One of the most important rooms in your house when it comes to hosting guests or showing your home to potential buyers: the guest bathroom. We all know that first impressions are crucial, and a dirty or unkempt bathroom can really be a turn off. So, don't forget to give your guest bathroom some extra TLC. Here are some tips to make sure your guest bathroom is sparkling clean and ready to impress: Start with the basics: clean and disinfect the toilet, sink, shower/bathtub, and countertops. Use a good all-purpose cleaner or vinegar solution for an eco-friendly option. Declutter and organize: clear out any unnecessary items from countertops or shelves to create a more spacious and inviting feel. Keep only essential items like hand soap and a fresh set of towels. Add some finishing touches: little details like fresh flowers, a scented candle, or a folded hand towel can really elevate the overall look and feel of the bathroom. Remember, a clean and well-maintained guest bathroom can leave a lasting impression on potential buyers. So take the extra time to give it some love before showings, and you may just see an increase in interest and offers on your property.

Thinking about upgrading your home? Here are some great reasons to go for it! Repairs are needed: Let's face it, every house needs a little TLC from time to time. Upgrading your home can help take care of those necessary repairs and keep your space in tip-top shape. Adding functionality: With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's important to have a home that works for you. By upgrading your house, you can add new features and amenities that will make your daily routine easier and more efficient. Updating dated looks: Are you tired of looking at those old, outdated fixtures and finishes in your home? Upgrading allows you to modernize your space and keep up with the latest trends, making it feel fresh and new. Switching design styles: Ready for a change? Upgrading your home gives you the opportunity to switch up your design style and create a whole new look. Whether you prefer modern or traditional, there are endless possibilities when it comes to upgrading your house. Changing color palette: A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for a space. Upgrading your home gives you the chance to change up the color palette and add some personality to your rooms. Don't wait any longer, take the leap and upgrade your house today! Your dream home is just a few upgrades away. And if moving to your dream home is on your list... give me a call. #upgradeyourhome #homerenovation #dreamhome

Attention all homeowners! Are you planning to give your home a fresh coat of paint? Before you dive into the color options, let me introduce you to the 60-30-10 rule. This rule is a foolproof way to achieve a well-balanced and visually appealing color scheme for your home. So what exactly is the 60-30-10 rule? It's a simple concept where you divide your color choices into three different percentages: 60%, 30%, and 10%. The dominant color should take up 60% of the space, while the secondary color should make up for 30% and finally, the accent color should be used in the remaining 10%. Why is this rule important? Well, it helps create a cohesive and harmonious look throughout your space. It prevents one color from overpowering the others and instead creates a sense of balance and flow in the room. Plus, it makes choosing colors much easier when you have a specific formula to follow! Whether you are thinking about selling your home or are just looking for refresh ideas- I am here to help. #HomePaint #homeimprovement #realestatetips

With May being National Home Remodeling Month, it's the perfect time to start tackling those projects and improving your home. Here are my top 3 tips for giving your home some TLC this month: 1️⃣ Wash the house - Over time, dirt, dust and grime can build up on the exterior of your home. Pressure washing or using a garden hose with a specialized cleaning solution can make a huge difference in restoring the appearance of your home. 2️⃣ Paint the house - A fresh coat of paint not only gives your home a facelift, but it also helps protect against weather and wear. Plus, with so many color options available, you can really make a statement and add some personality to your home. 3️⃣ Refinish the deck - Your outdoor living space deserves some attention too! Sanding down and re-staining your deck not only enhances its appearance but also helps prolong its lifespan. Don't wait until it's too late to take care of your home. By staying on top of maintenance, you not only increase its value but also create a safe and comfortable living environment for you and your family.

Are you tired of paying rent every month? Well, I am here to tell you that it's time to stop. Instead, consider buying your own home! Investing in a home has numerous benefits and can be more financially beneficial in the long run. Firstly, buying a home is an investment for your future. Unlike renting, where you have no ownership over the property, buying a home allows you to build equity and increase your net worth. This means that as time goes by, your investment in your home will continue to grow. Secondly, owning a home gives you the freedom to make it truly yours. You can customize and decorate your home to fit your personal style and needs without any restrictions from a landlord. Plus, you won't have to worry about pesky rental inspections or getting permission to make changes. But most importantly, buying a home can actually save you money in the long run. While rent may seem cheaper at first glance, it's a never-ending cycle that only benefits the landlord. DM me if you are ready to stop renting and invest in your own lil piece of the American pie ;-) . Even if you are a couple of years away, I can help guide you down the path to preparedness. #realestatetips #homeowner #organizedhome #helpfulrealtor

It's March, which means it's time for monthly home maintenance! As your trusted real estate agent, I want to help you keep your home in tip-top shape. So here are three important tasks to add to your to-do list this month: 1️⃣ Inspect Your Home Exterior: With the winter weather coming to an end, now is the perfect time to give your home's exterior a once-over. Look for any damage caused by the cold and snow, such as cracks in the foundation or paint peeling off. Taking care of these issues now can prevent them from becoming bigger problems later on. 2️⃣ Check Your Roof: While you're outside inspecting the exterior of your home, don't forget to look up! Winter weather can also cause damage to your roof, so make sure to check for missing or damaged shingles. If you notice any issues, it's best to call in a professional for repairs. 3️⃣ Check Your Trees: As the saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers", and before we know it, spring will be in full swing. Make sure your trees are ready by checking for any broken or weak branches that could potentially cause damage during a storm. It's also a good idea to trim back any trees or shrubs that may be encroaching on your home's exterior. 😍So, there you have it - three simple but important tasks to keep your home in its best condition. ....And as always, if you need any recommendations for professionals to help with these tasks, don't hesitate to reach out to me. Happy home maintaining! #realestatetips #homeowner #organizedhome #helpfulrealtor

Are you planning on selling your home? One of the most common questions that homeowners ask is "How long does it take to sell a home?" While there is no definite answer, here are some factors that can influence the time frame. 1️⃣ Location: The location of your property plays a crucial role in the selling process. If your home is in a desirable location with good schools, amenities and low crime rates, it could sell much faster than homes in less attractive areas. 2️⃣ Condition of the Property: A well-maintained property that is move-in ready can attract potential buyers quickly. On the other hand, if your home needs repairs, renovations or has any major issues, it may take longer to sell. 3️⃣ Market Conditions: The real estate market is constantly changing and can have a significant impact on the time frame. In a seller's market, where there is high demand for homes and low inventory, your home could sell faster. In a buyer's market, where there are more homes for sale than buyers, it may take longer to sell. 4️⃣ Price: The price of your home is a crucial factor in how long it takes to sell. Setting the right price from the beginning can attract potential buyers and lead to a quicker sale. If your home is overpriced, it may sit on the market for a longer time. 5️⃣ Marketing Strategy: As a real estate agent, my team and I have an effective marketing strategy to promote your home to potential buyers. From professional photos and virtual tours to targeted social media ads, we make sure your property stands out in the market. Overall, the average time it takes to sell a home is around 68 days.

Spring is in full swing, and we all know what that means - it's time to get our hands dirty and plant some roots! I LOVE gardening season... You? I have seen first-hand the joy that comes with owning your own home and having your very own garden. But let's not forget about the value that a garden adds to your home. A well-maintained garden can greatly increase the curb appeal of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers in the future. Plus, having a green thumb is always impressive! (or a landscaper that has a green thumb ;-) ) So this spring, let's all take advantage of the beautiful weather and plant some roots in our gardens. You won't regret it - trust me. You will see me with dirt under my nails ;-) If you garden, what is your favorite plant, gardening tool, or nursery? #plantingroots #spring #curbappeal

It's time to get organized! And what better month to do so than March - the beginning of spring! Here’s why organizing your home is a must this month: Did you know that organizing your home not only improves productivity, but it can also have a positive impact on your mental health? Studies have shown that a cluttered and disorganized living space can lead to increased stress levels and feelings of anxiety. By taking the time to declutter and organize your home, you are creating a calming and peaceful environment for yourself. So don't underestimate the power of an organized home - not only will it make your daily tasks easier, but it can also improve your overall well-being. Remember, organization is an ongoing process. These projects are just a starting point to help you maintain a beautiful home. What is your favorite place in your home to declutter? 👇 #realestatetips #homeowner #organizedhome #helpfulrealtor

Are you struggling to get preapproved for your dream home? Look no further! As a trusted real estate agent, I am here to guide you through the process and help you secure that preapproval letter. This letter gives you an accurate idea of your budget so you can narrow down your search and focus on homes within your price range. It also shows sellers that you are a serious buyer and have already taken the necessary steps to secure financing. A preapproval letter can also help speed up the closing process. A preapproval letter can also give you a better bargaining position when negotiating the price of a home. So before you start your home search, make sure to get a preapproval letter from a reputable lender. It will not only give you a clear understanding of your budget, but it can also help you stand out as a serious buyer and speed up the home buying process. Happy house hunting! If you would like a couple of great loan officer referrals, dm me for contact info. :-) #realestatetips #homeowner #organizedhome #helpfulrealtor

Understanding your credit score is crucial in not only the home buying process but also for many other financial decisions. Your credit score reflects your creditworthiness and can greatly impact your ability to get approved for loans, credit cards, and even apartment rentals. By maintaining a good credit score, you can potentially save thousands of dollars in interest rates and have more financial opportunities available to you. As a real estate agent, I am not only here to help you find your dream home but also to guide you towards achieving overall financial stability.

As a real estate agent, I've seen how potential buyers are drawn to kitchens with proper counter height. It's a small detail that can make a big difference in the overall appeal of your home. ⠀ Consider installing counter height that is comfortable for most people, around 36 inches. This ensures that the counter is at the perfect level for prepping and cooking meals, as well as doing dishes. Don't forget to also consider your own height and needs when choosing counter height for your kitchen. It's important that the space works for you and your family. ⠀ Ready to make your dream kitchen a reality?

When buying or selling, what does “AS IS” mean? As a REALTOR, it's important to educate our clients and potential buyers, and the term "as is." is one that can get slightly confusing. "As-Is" means that the seller has decided not to make any repairs to the property prior to selling. But don't let this discourage you from ordering inspections! Inspections are still an important step in determining the true condition of a property. Did you know you can even order a pre-inspection as a buyer for most properties, at your expense, BEFORE you consider making an offer. Remember, just because a property is being sold "as is," it doesn't mean that buyers have no right to inspect. In fact, inspections can give you valuable information about the property's condition and help you make an informed decision. So don't shy away from ordering inspections when buying or selling a home! PS If you or someone you know is considering a move... I would be honored to help. 🥰 #realestateagent #asis #propertyinspections #informeddecision #homebuyingtips #homesellingtips #auburnwa #federalwaywa #puyallupwa

It's Pop Quiz time!!! Did you know I used to be a teacher? ;-) Having a good credit score is crucial in securing a loan with favorable terms and interest rates. It shows lenders that you are financially responsible and capable of making timely payments on a mortgage. Even if you have been pre-approved for a loan, it's important to maintain or improve your credit score. This can be achieved by paying bills on time, keeping credit card balances low, and avoiding taking on new debt. So while being pre-approved for a loan may ease some of your worries about credit, it's still important to maintain good financial habits. Don't let the excitement of buying a home lead you to make careless financial decisions. As a real estate professional, I highly recommend staying on top of your credit score and finances throughout the home buying process. I also recommend letting me help you and your friends-family when you are considering a move. 😁 by the way... I am NEVER too busy for your referrals. #homebuying #realestatefinance #creditscore #preapproval #southkingcountyrealestate #federalwaywa #desmoineswa #auburnwa

Are you worried about the impact of a previous bankruptcy on your chances of getting a mortgage? Don't let it stop you from achieving your dream of owning a home! While it may seem daunting, it is definitely possible to obtain a mortgage after bankruptcy. With the right guidance and financial planning, you can get back on track and secure a loan for the home of your dreams. One important factor to consider is your credit score.

I have a couple of recommendations if you are in the market for a lender as well. 😎 As a real estate agent, I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.

As we kick off the new year, it's important to remember the little things that can make a big impact on your home. That's why for this month's home maintenance focus, we're honing in on three often overlooked areas ..... your dryer vent, refrigerator coils, and exhaust fans. 1️⃣ Dryer vent. Did you know that clogged dryer vents are one of the top causes of house fires? Yikes! Take a few minutes to thoroughly clean out any lint buildup in your dryer vent and replace any damaged or worn out parts. This simple task could save you from a potential disaster. 2️⃣ Refrigerator coils. These guys work hard to keep your food fresh and cold, but they can easily get clogged with dust and debris. This not only makes your fridge work harder, but it can also lead to higher energy bills. So take a vacuum attachment and give those coils a good cleaning - your wallet will thank you later. 3️⃣ Exhaust fans. They are responsible for keeping our bathrooms and kitchens free of excess moisture, which can lead to mold growth. So take a few minutes to clean them out and make sure they are in proper working condition. January may be all about new beginnings, but let's not forget to take care of our homes too. These simple maintenance tasks will not only keep your home safe and efficient, but it will also give you peace of mind. Here's to a happy and well-maintained home in the new year! #homeimprovement #realestateagent #dreamhome #homemaintenance #cleaning #cleaningtips #hometips #homecare #pnwrealtor

It's Final Walk Thru Day.... A day where the home buyer and their agent gets to walk through the home again a couple of days before closing and the keys get handed over. A walk thru allows a chance for the buyer and agent to check the home and make sure that everything that was supposed to take place--has. Has it been properly cleaned? Are all the items removed that were supposed to go? Is there anything missing that was supposed to stay? Etc. If there are any probelms, they will need to be corrected asap to make sure there are no delays in the completion of the home purchase. It is better to do this one extra step before the home is officially transferred and recorded. Trust me ;-) #buyertips #walkthru #closing #realesatelife #buyer #insoection #auburnwa #federalway #puyallupwa #tacomarealestate #seattlerealestate

As a real estate professional, I understand the importance of first impressions when it comes to selling a home. That's why I want to share with you some tips on how to clean and organize your home. Potential buyers want to envision themselves living in the space, not surrounded by toys and clutter. So, take the time to go through items that are no longer being used or needed. Donate or store them away to create a more spacious and inviting playroom. You want to make sure everything is clean and shiny for the open house. Pay extra attention to high traffic areas like shelves, tables, and play equipment. A clean space not only looks better but also shows potential buyers that the home has been well-maintained. Don't forget about the floors! Vacuuming or mopping can make a huge difference in the overall appearance of the playroom. If there are any tough stains or marks on the walls or floors, take some time to touch them up with paint or cleaning products. Make sure all toys and items are put away neatly, books are organized on shelves, and any personal items like photos or drawings are removed from the space. This allows potential buyers to focus on the room itself rather than being distracted by personal belongings. By following these tips, you can create a clean and inviting playroom for an open house that will leave a positive lasting impression on potential buyers. Remember, the playroom is just as important as any other room in the house, so don't neglect it when preparing for an open house. When you or someone you know is ready for a move, please give me a call. #OpenHouse #FamilyRealEstate #PlayroomOrganization #declutter #sellertips #sellingahome #cleanhome #realestatetips #auburnwa #sellingwashingtonstate

From now until about the end of September, the market will be hopping. 🐰 As the rates continue to drop, and people begin putting their homes on the market, you can most likely expect to see multiple offer situations again this spring.

If you are thinking about a move, please contact me with any questions. If you are planning a purchase but you're just waiting for the "right time" or the "right rate", I suggest speaking to a trusted loan officer ASAP.
