Getting Ready to Produce my FIRST FULL SERIES on Buying & Selling Real Estate!!

SO here we are. Going on 15 years in the real estate game and it is still just as fun as when I started. I remember spending Friday and Saturday nights in my first apartment, up ALL night scanning Zillow like an FBI agent. I pretended like I enjoyed exercising and power walked to get a closer look at the homes for sale in my neighborhood. I became OBSESSED! 19 years old and I wanted to buy a property worse than seeing the inside of a bar (legally anyway). I don't remember exactly when I grew the cojones to call the sign on the yard but I'm sure glad I did.


 I met my super cool real estate agent Christine, with her short funky red hair and dark purple nails at a 3 story twin home with tons of restored wood in the charming Bristol Borough. Christine was hilarious. We shared the same sense of humor. She had an adventurous personality where nothing was predictable and there were new surprises around every corner. It was amazing. All my nosey self hoped it would be. We got to walk through every single room, look in closets, wander through the basement and attic. It was great! All of the molding and original trim throughout made me wonder about the previous occupants and the hundreds of years of different lives passing through each room. The choices of paint colors and furniture were interesting and the claw foot tub and kitchen cabinetry was definitely way before my time. Standing in the third floor attic, the ceiling felt 9 feet high and the front and back windows felt miles apart. This is where the afternoon sun beamed in and I got stuck in a stare. I realized in that moment, I was meant to experience this same fascination over and over.


 After that first exciting showing at the historic twin on Beaver St, Christine and I continued to meet frequently to preview other homes. She also brought me into her Fairless Hills office to meet with her in house lender. She was so excited that I was a young 19 years old purchasing real estate. She introduced me to everyone that passed us as if she was my proud mother. Btw, my parents were SUPER against this and thought I was WAY too young to be purchasing anything, let alone a property. We shopped for a few weeks until we stumbled across a duplex. That was it. I knew investing was my fate. I knew I too was meant to be adventurous and unpredictable. Christine showed me the way. Not only did she🔑 unlock the door🚪 to my curiosity of architecture and historic homes and buildings, but she showed me not everyone in life has to be so serious. You can actually get paid to enjoy your passion, develop instant bonds with complete strangers and have a great time helping others fulfill their dreams. (and paint your nails whatever color you want lol)💅

 Yes, there are definitely roadblocks and speed bumps all through the process of home buying. And yes, agents too experience the same anxiety as their clients when trouble arises, but hey, that's pretty much what we are signing up for. We are the trusted advisor and hand holder of those brave enough to venture into their first, second, or millionth real estate purchase.

Throughout this story you are probably thinking "Wow! This sounds super easy!" Far from from it buddy. Every transaction, we agents juggle clients, agents, lawyers, title clerks, lenders, twp workers, contractors and inspectors.  We wear a million hats and try not to drop one detail making sure we hit every due date and deadline. Good thing I'm a master multi-tasker. 😅 (aka ADD plus a lot of coffee)


 I live every moment through my clients. It's similar to having your own children succeed and meet their goals. Watching my clients eyes light up as they walk through homes. Listening to them plan where furniture would fit or how many family members they can invite now for holidays. Seeing them look out the back window and envision their warm months outdoors. It's a pretty fulfilling job, I must say and I can't really imagine doing anything else.

What I can envision is helping even MORE people. But how could I possibly text & talk to more people each day?? This past year I worked like a maniac to keep all of my clients & vendors completely informed. I like to coddle and spoil my clients by answering the texts and calls 24/7. I think it's SUPER important that they are completely in the loop with the process. (My family members aren't so thrilled about mommy's office in the kitchen, on the couch, in the car, at the store, park, pool and just about wherever we go. Right on top of that ROSE!)

 So here's what I've come up with to help keep all of my clients in the loop.... HOW-TO VIDEO'S FEATURING -------ME!!!

 AHHH I'm so excited!! I don't know how I didn't think of this sooner.. Each year I get busier and busier and think "how can I ever duplicate myself!??" 

DUH WITH VIDEOS!! Awesomeness... I can't wait. 

 Now there will be a step by step video as we go through the transaction,  explaining the most important questions about the buying and selling process as well as timelines and automated reminders keeping you ahead of things.

 So stay tuned boys and girls.. I will be adding links for previews and access to my upcoming series and tutorials.

One more thing, I get such great feedback and so many questions when I do a facebook live tour of properties.  Starting in June I will be sure to a fb live tour on the weekly diamond deals at least once a week.

 Happy Home Hunting :-)

NEW HUD LISTINGS

HUD HOME UPDATE

Hello all! I just posted two new virtual tours for our two new HUD home listings coming to the market! Check it out under the NEW LISTINGS tab at the top of my blog!

HUD HOME STORE

The four Essential Home Renovations That will INCREASE Your Home's Value!

I don't know about you, but if I was about to sell my home I would like to get the most out of its value.  After doing some research and being in the Real Estate business for some time now I have put together a list of 4 simple ways to increase your homes value!

Let's take a look!

1. UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN

The kitchen is the heart of the home.. So obviously it is important that it is functioning and up-to-date!  According to Brad Carlton, sales associate and real estate expert from BHG

"Updating the kitchen with new appliances and bathrooms with new plumbing fixtures may seem trivial, but it's a must! Currently, there are many kitchen features that are trending in the Atlanta area, such as wine refrigerators, drawer-style microwaves and dishwashers, commercial-style ranges, and hidden outlets."

So simply updating your kitchen can increase your homes value dramatically!

2. UPGRADE YOUR MASTER BATH

Being a main selling point of any home, the master bathroom should be eye catching as well as functional.  According to Jean Risha, a relator associate:

"The master bath should be as large and bright as possible. Texans like things big! They definitely want space in their master baths. A separate water closet and a spacious shower with multiple showerheads are musts. There is also the trend of a separate sink and water closet for each person and only sharing the shower, which we see in the most distinctive homes."

It is safe to say that you want your master bathroom to be up to date, spacious, and eye catching!

3. CREATE AND ADDITION

Adding an addition to your home not only adds square footage, it also adds major value to your home! According to Joseph Rand, Managing partner and general counsel of BHG:

"Any kind of physical expansion -- whether it's a new bedroom, an extension of a living room, or whatever space you desire -- has a huge impact. If you can add square footage to a house, you always add value. Size matters!"

So whether your moving now or in the future, think about adding some more space into your home. 

4. INTENSIFY YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE

Who doesn't love the option of being inside or outside to entertain or just enjoy a beautiful night? Having a beautiful outdoor oasis will give your home a relaxing get-away tor get-togethers or beautiful nights looking at the stars! According to Senior Sales Executive Mary H

"Tap the outdoors for extra living space. In the old days, just about everyone had a front porch or screened-in area to shade themselves from the Midwestern heat, and these classic features are still in demand. A screened-in porch or backyard patio -- especially one that includes an outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and small fridge -- makes a wonderful additional entertaining area."

Having a beautiful oasis outside your home will add major value to its selling price!

Now I know what your thinking...

This may sound like a lot of work, or time, or money.  But in the end it will be worth it. Your home value will go up, and on todays market it will sell fast for what you are asking!
