Nicole & Andrew Johnsrud Nicole and Andrew take the role of being Realtors very seriously.

They understand that this is one of the largest purchases or sales a person will make in a lifetime and one not to be taken lightly. Both bring a wealth of knowledge to the home buying and selling process. Nicole has a background in marketing, communication and advertising while Andrew has the ability to bring his home building and renovation knowledge and talents to the table for their clients. M

ost often their clients evolve into friendships and that's what they feel is most important; helping others as if they're family and friends. Both come from growing up on working family farms so they find enjoyment in hard work and even more they value integrity, honesty and kindness...it's what has been a part of them since very young and it is what helps them now be the best for their clients.

I get this question a lot this time of year — what home-related expenses are actually tax deductible?

There are a few that can make a difference depending on your situation, especially if you own rental property, work from home, or have made certain improvements.

Things like:
• Home office (if it qualifies)
• Rental property expenses
• Certain medical-related updates
• Energy-efficient improvements
• Keeping track of improvements if you plan to sell

Of course, everyone’s situation is different, so it’s always best to connect with a tax professional for specifics.

But this is a helpful starting point for homeowners to be aware of.

New listing in Mayer!

This one is tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac and backs up to a pond — such a great setting. It also has a finished walkout basement, which is hard to find in this price range (especially with most of the competition being new construction).

Right now, there are no resale homes under $400K in Mayer, so this is a great option if you’re looking for something available now without the wait.

📍 1121 Apple Circle
💲 $384,900
4 bed | 2 bath | 3-car garage

Let me know if you want to get in and see it!

Rates are higher right now — that part is true.

But what I’m seeing with buyers lately might surprise you.

There are still ways to make the numbers work — it just looks a little different than it did a few years ago.

I’ve been helping clients find off-market opportunities, negotiate closing costs and rate buy-downs, and get creative depending on their situation.

I’ve even had buyers recently still make really strong purchases in this market.

If you’ve been wondering whether it still makes sense to buy, I’m always happy to talk through your specific situation.

Buying a home is about more than just the property itself.

Of course the condition of the home matters, but buyers should also take time to think through the neighborhood, schools, HOA details, traffic patterns, parking, and how the area feels at different times of day.

Those are the kinds of things that do not always show up on an inspection report, but they absolutely matter when it comes to daily life and making a smart long-term decision.

If you’re considering a move and want thoughtful guidance through the process, I’d be happy to help.

This weather has a lot of us thinking spring a little earlier than usual ☀️

If you’re planning to enjoy the warmer temps this weekend, here are 5 quick things to check around the house before spring really hits:

✔️ Sump pump and downspouts
✔️ Winter damage around the yard
✔️ Window wells and drainage areas
✔️ Spring HVAC service
✔️ Small repairs or projects to tackle

Even if moving isn’t on your mind right now, these are smart things to stay ahead of. And if selling this year has crossed your mind, I’m always happy to help you think through what’s worth doing first. 🌿🏡

DIY projects can be incredibly rewarding… but not every project should be a DIY. 🔨

Over the years in real estate, I’ve seen some amazing homeowner upgrades — and I’ve also seen a few projects that caused bigger problems when it came time to sell.

A few things to think about before tackling your next project:
✔ Safety
✔ Budget
✔ Skill level

Sometimes bringing in a professional can actually save money (and headaches) in the long run.

What’s the best DIY project you’ve done in your home?

Yes, you can buy or sell real estate without an agent.

But what about when:
• You want access to off-market homes that never hit Zillow? 👀
• You’re trying to understand local contracts and laws with a full-time schedule? 📄
• The other side is negotiating aggressively and you need someone equally skilled advocating for you? 💪
• An appraisal comes in low and now thousands of dollars are suddenly on the table? 💸

The reality is simple:
The right agent helps protect your money, your timeline, and your opportunities — long before closing day ever arrives 🏡

If you’re planning a move in 2026 and want a smart, well-thought-out plan for buying or selling, I’m happy to help you get started early.

I’m Nicole Johnsrud, a local and real estate agent.

This is the part most people don’t realize until they’re already behind the curve 👇

The month you want to move usually determines when you should start planning — not the other way around.

Starting earlier gives you more options, more flexibility, and fewer rushed decisions along the way ⏳

If you’re considering a move in or out of [City Name] next year and want to talk through the timing or strategy, feel free to message me anytime 💬
