1 - Skipping Pre-Approval
Pre-approval is like your golden ticket in the home-buying process. It tells you exactly how much you can afford, saving you from falling in love with homes outside your budget. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, which can give you an edge in competitive markets. Skipping this step might lead to wasted time or, worse, heartbreak when you realize your dream home is out of reach.

2 - Focusing Only On The Price
The list price is just one piece of the puzzle. There are other costs to consider, like property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, utility bills, maintenance, and HOA fees (if applicable). Ignoring these costs could leave you stretched too thin financially. A home might seem affordable…

Understanding Attic Rain: Causes, Risks, and Prevention

Attic rain occurs when warm, moist air inside your home enters the attic space and condenses on cold surfaces, such as the underside of the roof sheathing. During cold weather, this condensation freezes. The frozen condensation melts when the weather warms up, creating water droplets that can seep into insulation, wood framing, and drywall.

This phenomenon can occur for years before it is discovered. We have had listings where the homeowner was unaware of any issues until the buyer’s inspector looked into the attic.

The effects of attic rain can cause significant damage and cost 10’s of thousands to remediate. Prolonged moisture exposure can lead to wood rot, warping, and weakening of the…

The first and foremost strategy when selling a home is pricing, sometimes referred to as positioning.

In a seller’s market, my wife and I often recommend competitive pricing with only a few exceptions. Our single goal with respect to competitive pricing is to start a fight for the home and, hopefully, a big fight to get the highest sale price possible in a timely way and reduce inconvenience to the seller.

To start that fight, we have to garner a lot of attention and create a lot of enthusiasm for our client’s listing during the first three days the listing is active.

Before we recommend a list price, we will do a detailed assessment of the active competition. We assess not just the list price of the competition but what we determine to be the…

Getting ready to move this winter? While it may not be as easy a move as in other seasons, with a little preparation you can accomplish a move that goes off without a hitch. For some helpful tips, read on.

• Be prepared to be flexible – Check the weather in the days leading up to your move. If a storm is forecasted for your moving day, consider rescheduling your move date. Get any pre-move errands completed in advance of your move, so you don’t get stuck trying to accomplish them in bad weather at the last minute.

• Prepare both homes for winter moving – Ensure both your old and new homes have clear, wide paths for moving, plastic sheeting to protect floors, and if it will be dark during any part of your move, check that the exterior lighting…

Instead of tackling your home room by room, approach decluttering by focusing on specific categories of items. This method allows you to see all items of the same type at once, helping you make better decisions about what to keep and what to let go. Here's how to do it effectively:

  1. Start Small: Begin with less emotionally charged categories like clothes or books before moving on to sentimental items like photos or keepsakes.

  2. Gather Everything Together: Collect all items in a category from every room. For example, if you’re decluttering clothes, bring every piece of clothing from closets, dressers, storage bins, and even the laundry. Seeing everything in one place gives you a clear picture of how much you actually own.

  3. Sort…
