I've been getting a lot of questions lately from Rhode Island landlords about the Rental Registry, lead paint certificates, and what all of these new requirements actually mean.

To be honest, a lot of small landlords are frustrated. Not because they don't want safe housing, but because many are already dealing with higher taxes, insurance costs, repairs, maintenance, and everything else that comes with owning rental property.

Now they're trying to figure out registrations, inspections, lead compliance, potential fines, and how it could affect them if they ever need to deal with a non-paying tenant.

I put together this video to break it all down in plain English and explain what I'm seeing from local landlords.

If you own rental property in Rhode Island, or know someone who does, I think you'll find this helpful.

Are Rhode Island landlords at risk of losing their ability to evict...

I always hear people talking about moving to Florida, but is that really where most Rhode Islanders are going?

I did some digging into the data and the results actually surprised me.

In this video, I break down the top 5 states Rhode Islanders are moving to, why they're making the move, and what the housing market looks like in each area.

One of the states on the list wasn't what I expected at all.

Check it out and let me know, if you had to leave Rhode Island tomorrow, where would you go?

Home inspections can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers.

When you're buying a home, every item on the report can seem like a major issue. The truth is, no home is perfect. Even brand-new homes have things that come up during an inspection.

Buying your first home is a big step, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Ever wonder why one home gets 10+ offers while another sits on the market for weeks?

It's usually not luck.

The homes that generate the most interest tend to have four things working in their favor:

✅ Pricing Strategy
The right price attracts the largest pool of buyers and can create competition.

✅ Marketing Exposure
The more qualified buyers who see your home, the greater the chance of receiving strong offers.

✅ Presentation
Professional photos, staging, and preparation can dramatically impact buyer perception.

✅ Timing
Market conditions, inventory levels, and buyer demand all play a role.

Many homeowners think selling is simply putting a sign in the yard and waiting.

The reality is that a well-executed strategy can mean the difference between one offer and ten.

Thinking about buying a home? One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is shopping for homes before getting pre-approved.

If you're thinking about buying a home this year, getting pre-approved is the best first step. Have questions about the process? Send me a message and I'd be happy to help.
