Want more eyes on your listing? Timing matters.

🏡 Thursdays and Fridays are the sweet spot.

Why?

✔ Buyers plan weekend tours midweek
✔ Fresh listings get top placement on search sites
✔ You’re more likely to book full weekend showings

List early in the week, and you risk getting buried before buyers even look.

Let’s get your timing right from the start.

Inspections can often feel like a curveball, but they’re a normal part of selling.

If issues come up:

✔ Don’t panic. Most findings are negotiable.
✔ Prioritize safety-related fixes (roof, electrical, plumbing)
✔ Get quotes quickly and be proactive
✔ Stay flexible—credit or repair? Sometimes, offering a credit makes more sense than doing the work yourself

Buyers want confidence. How you respond to inspections can keep your deal strong and on track.

New construction may look beautiful at face value, but before you sign anything, be sure to ask the following questions:

1️⃣ Who’s the builder, and what’s their reputation?
2️⃣ What’s included vs. what’s an upgrade?
3️⃣ What’s the timeline (and how firm is it)?
4️⃣ Is there a warranty, and what does it cover?
5️⃣ Are there HOA fees, community plans, or future phases?

New construction definitely has perks, but it’s not always as simple as it seems.

I’ll help you navigate every detail.

Home insurance costs are climbing in many areas, and it’s more than just a monthly inconvenience.

It can impact things like:

✔ Your monthly mortgage payment (if bundled with escrow)
✔ Which homes fit your budget
✔ Your ability to close in certain coastal or high-risk zones

Before falling in love with a home (which is way easier said than done!), ask for an insurance estimate based on current rates and conditions in the area.

In today’s market, it’s not always about the price, but instead, understanding the total cost matters more.

2025 is our year of shopping smart.
