Have you ever heard of the 5 love languages? If not, give it a Google to learn more about it.

I like the idea of the love languages, but I've got a few of my own that I couldn't find in the book.

Gift giving? No, for me it's REFERRAL giving.
Words of affirmation? Sure, but just make sure to put it in a Zillow or Google review, please.
Acts of service? How about signing the docusign before it expires?

Happy Valentine's Day! Share your love languages in the comments

Umm. Don't panic...but if you’re thinking of selling FSBO, you may be giving buyers a Black Friday Deal on your home. Here’s why:

The average FSBO home sold for $260,000 in 2020.
The average agent-assisted home sold for $318,000 in 2020.

That’s a difference of $58,000, folks! Factor in agent commissions ($19K), and you still have a difference of $40,000 when you use the professional services of an agent.

(Not to mention agent homes sold on average 20 days faster than FSBO listings that were forced to renew on the MLS.)

The Black Friday takeaway? If you’re thinking of selling, don’t leave thousands on the table that should be in your pocket.

Work with an agent who knows your neighborhood, the market, and how to price your home just right.

Looking for an agent like that? I’d love to help! Send me a message, and let’s chat.

The biggest misconception I hear about buying right now is that it’s smart to wait for interest rates to come down.

You DON’T need to wait!

What DO you need? If you know you’re ready to buy, you need an agent who knows the market in your desired location and a trusted lender who can help you understand what you can afford.

The truth is if you buy at today’s rates, you can always refinance if rates drop. But if you wait with the hope of rates coming down, you can't go back and borrow at today's rates if that doesn't happen.

So the next time you think to yourself, “Maybe I’ll wait.” Don’t do it! Let me at least show you homes in your price range so you can make a decision based on facts.

Is the above you? Have you been struggling to decide about buying now vs. waiting? DM, and let’s talk - no strings attached.
