Are you considering buying a fixer-upper and wondering if it’s worth the investment?

There are several key factors to consider:

1. Consider the neighborhood, school district, and proximity to amenities
2. Potential for future appreciation
3.Identify any major repairs that need to be made (e.g. foundation issues, roof damage)
4. Determine the cost of repairs and compare to the potential value of the property
5. Consider your budget and financing options
6. Think about the time and energy it will take to complete the renovations
7. Consider how long you plan to stay in the home

Remember… Always seek the advice of a real estate professional ( Me 👋 ) or home inspector for a more thorough evaluation.

Q: “Do I get earnest money back if my mortgage falls through on closing day?”

A: It depends! First of all, get it in writing. Your contract will decide whether or not you get that money back.

In most cases, you can expect your earnest money back if there are issues with the home inspection, appraisal, title, or mortgage. But if you don’t meet the deadlines (or change your mind), you might not!

Stay tuned for more Q&As on all your real estate questions! :)

As Fall is beginning to transition into winter, you know what that means…Home maintenance is in full swing!
Leaves begin to fall on your roof, lawn, front porch, and kill that curb appeal you once were so proud of. The trees surrounding your home begin to look scraggly and barren…

Here are my tips to get your home looking it’s best for the upcoming season!

1. Clean the roof and remove moss, leaves, and branches
 (and don’t forget to clear out those gutters!)
2. Aerate the lawn and remove leaves
3. Cut back tree limbs and branches
4. Replace outdoor light bulbs if necessary

Is there anything else you like to do for home maintenance? Share below 👇

Home Decor Tip! 🕯

I just love taking a long, luxurious trip down the candle aisle at HomeGoods, selecting my favorite candles such as cinnamon, pumpkin, chai, amber, or even pecan.

As any good candle lover will tell you, the scent is as much a part of your decor as a throw blanket is, and updating the scents you fill your home with to match the season will do a lot to shift the overall atmosphere into something more festive.

While your scented candle serves as an accompaniment to your seasonal decor, it can also be the decor. 😉

Today we celebrate National Pumpkin Day. Go grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte and get ready because I’ve got an exciting list of ways to satisfy all your pumpkin cravings.

Here are a few ways you can celebrate National Pumpkin Day:

1.Visit a pumpkin patch
Certain pumpkin patch locations will have activities for the whole family, plus you’ll be supporting a local business.

2. Make jack o’ lanterns
Once you’ve picked out the perfect pumpkin, it’s time to take it home and carve a face into it. You can pick up one of those pumpkin-carving kits that include pre-printed designs and tools.

3. Decorate with pumpkins!
Pick up a few of the smaller pumpkins to scatter around your home as fall decor (inside and out)

4. Make something with pumpkin
Whether you make a loaf of pumpkin bread, cookies, pie, soup, or some other sort of dish, cooking or baking is a great way to make the most of National Pumpkin Day. Yum!

5. Get a pumpkin spice latte
National Pumpkin Day would not be complete without getting (or making) a pumpkin spice latte. Get in touch with your most “basic” self, and drink up!

And remember, I will always carve out time for you and your referrals!

What if my offer is rejected?

A declined offer is not always the final answer. In fact, there are a couple of steps you can take if you really want the house:

🔸Counteroffer ~ if your offer was rejected, it is likely that they may have received a better offer elsewhere or your price was simply too low. If you can, raise your bid.
🔸Reconsider any contingencies ~ if your offer includes contingencies, you may want to revisit why you set them.

Remember…Sellers want an easy deal that allows them to get the most out of their home.
