Cheers To A…

As 2022 comes to an end, so does this historical time in real estate. As the market shifts, it’s important to talk about where we have been, where the market is headed, and what that looks like for you. There is a good chance you’ve seen something come across your TV, phone, or computer screen that can make you feel a little nervous about what is to come. Let’s break it down into facts and see what it actually means for you.

Where we have been

Even if you were not interested in buying or selling real estate over the past few years, you might have seen segments on the news, read an article, laughed at jokes on the internet, or screamed in frustration over the real estate market. To sum it all up, the market was crazy! We were in an incredibly…

You might think you have it covered when it comes to selling your home. How hard can it be really? Well, harder than you think. Before you put up that “For Sale By Owner” sign, read these reasons you shouldn’t first: 

1. It’s going to cost you a lot of time 

You’ll have to take amazing photos of your home. Market your home to potential buyers. Show your home to people who aren’t serious buyers. Show your home repeatedly to serious buyers. You’ll be talking to so many people every day. Prepare for this to be your new part time job. Is it worth it?

Whether you’re buying a home or looking to sell yours, chances are you’ll come across your fair share of real estate jargon. Oftentimes realtors will use acronyms as part of their listings, and rather than having to look up every word, we wanted to bring the complete list of most-used terms to you! Check out our collection of real estate lingo so you look like a pro for your next move. 

3B/2.5B - Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. In order to be called a bedroom in our area, the room must be a sleeping area with a window and a closet. A full bath is a room with a toilet, sink and bathtub. A half bath otherwise known as powder room only has a toilet and a sink. 

Appraisal - An appraisal is an unbiased professional opinion of a home's…

Think you want to try selling your home yourself? Let us try to change your mind with these top six reasons why you need an agent: 

1. Agents can get your home more exposure.

As a “For Sale By Owner,” you don’t have access to the MLS (multiple listing service), which is the main source for realtors looking for homes for their clients. A realtor has the opportunity to put your home on the MLS and also has a large network of potential buyers that they know personally. A small sign in your yard can only reach a fraction of the homebuyers in town, while a realtor has access to their buyers, their colleagues’ buyers and anyone searching for homes online. 

2. Many FSBOs are priced incorrectly.

Most of the time, FSBOs are…
