A beautiful kitchen can make people drool over your home. But a kitchen that’s beautiful and is packed with storage space? That’s a dream right there.

If you’re renovating your kitchen soon, make sure to put storage space high up on your list of priorities. Here’s where you can sneak in some extra storage space to create a highly functional space:

Back of deep shelves (aka where your spices and pantry items go and never come out)

Corner cabinets with unused space at the back

Space between your cabinets and the ceiling

Space next to your fridge

When you find the areas where you have empty, unused, or underutilized space, pay attention to it and see how you can maximize the space for storage!

Make sure to save this post so you have it ready for your kitchen remodel research phase.

You know that the real estate market is all based on supply and demand. In the past couple of years, the market has gone crazy because demand has shot way up. This was due to... -remote work allowing people to move out of the city or to a different area -people moving to be closer to family Housing supply just couldn’t keep up with all that demand. But where are we in the market today? Demand is there, but it's starting to decrease. However, when compared to our supply, demand is still much stronger. Supply is still very low due to supply chain shortages and the fact that so many people just bought homes that they love! Want more information on our local market?

In this market, becoming a homeowner can seem out of reach. Many properties are expensive right now and interest rate increases definitely don’t help. But with these steps, you can create a budget that will help you find the right home! Step 1: Add Up Your Income. Make sure to capture all the income that you get, not just the income from your full-time job. Step 2: List Your Household Expenses. Get all of the bills and expenses you normally have to pay listed out in one spot. It’s not the most fun, but it’s the most important part! Step 3: Calculate Home Ownership Costs. Owning a home can come with extra expenses outside of your mortgage payment like repairs and maintenance. Be prepared for these expenses by budgeting them in. Step 4: Give Your Budget Room to Grow. Budgets aren’t meant to be a one-and-done thing so give your budget a little space to grow–both on the income and expenses side. Step 5: Make Adjustments. Take a look at your budget. Can you afford a house? If it’s a little tight, see what you can take out or if you can add some income in. If yes, then awesome! You’re ready to reach out to a real estate agent. If you follow these steps, you'll develop a great budget that will put you onto the path of home ownership–without busting your budget! Want more tips like this?

No one else will say this…

But Zillow is NOT your friend if you’re under contract.

Once you make that decision to buy a house, get rid of all your MLS apps! Continuing to look at homes is one way to give yourself buyer’s remorse.

Instead, trust yourself to make the decision, and remember: no house is ever going to be perfect all the time, and that is OK! That’s just life.

The same thing goes for everyone else too. Your friend with the beyond perfect home? It might seem perfect on the surface, but there’s definitely something about the house that they want to change!

Do yourself a favor, delete Zillow, and trust your choices. You’ll feel so much better!

In our industry, sellers do a lot of good things and things that help them better sell their houses. But sometimes we also see some mistakes. Here are four of the more common ones to avoid:

- Being too taste specific.

- Neglecting the exterior factor.

- Starting with an above market price.

- Letting emotions lead the way.

Make-or-break advice for first-time homebuyers…

Finding the right first home that will set you up for financial success is a much easier way to get to your dream home.

Your first home is the stepping stone to your dream home! This means that your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home.

Instead, you can use your first home to provide you with a nice place to live while building equity. Rather than spending money you’ll never see again on rent, you’ll pay a monthly mortgage payment and build that equity.

Then, when you sell your first home down the line, you’ll get all that equity and appreciation back as a lump sum that you can use to buy your next home. Then repeat until you’ve made it to your dream home.

Don’t feel like you have to wait for years to save up a massive down payment for your dream, forever home. Instead, use your first home to fund your dream home!

The secret lies in starting with your first home.

Don’t skip this part!

It can be easy for buyers to fall into the trap of trying to time the market.

But unless you have a crystal ball, timing the housing market just isn’t possible because there are too many variables and unknowns.

So what are you supposed to do as a buyer if you can’t time the market? How do you know when the right time to buy is?

You focus on yourself and what kind of timing works for your unique situation rather than the market.

Here are a few things to consider while you’re trying to decide if now is the right time for you to buy a home:

- Whether or not you’re ready to live in one place for the next 3-5+ years

- What your finances look like–think your savings, credit score, and debt levels

- Your responsibility level and if you’re ready to manage a property

If you consider these factors and see that you’re ready to buy a home, then send a DM and let’s get started!

Future you will be SO glad you saved this.

The offer you choose might not be the highest offer.

It can be easy to feel like you have to take the highest offer with all that money on the table.

But there are other things you need to consider!

Whenever you receive an offer, ask the following questions:

- Are they asking for seller-paid closing costs?

- Are they requesting multiple warranties?

- Is there a slightly lower offer in cash and not a loan?

- Is the timeline to close extended?

- Is the pre-approval letter ready and attached to the offer?

Save this post if you’re selling your home this year!
