A beautiful kitchen can make people drool over your home. But a kitchen that’s beautiful and is packed with storage space? That’s a dream right there.

If you’re renovating your kitchen soon, make sure to put storage space high up on your list of priorities. Here’s where you can sneak in some extra storage space to create a highly functional space:

Back of deep shelves (aka where your spices and pantry items go and never come out)

Corner cabinets with unused space at the back

Space between your cabinets and the ceiling

Space next to your fridge

When you find the areas where you have empty, unused, or underutilized space, pay attention to it and see how you can maximize the space for storage!

Make sure to save this post so you have it ready for your kitchen remodel research phase.

This is a hack that all renters need to know!

Buying a home requires some upfront cash for closing costs–and that can make the idea of paying rent on your lease and a mortgage payment at the same time unappealing. 💸 😞

But there’s a way around this…

It all comes down to clever timing with when your home purchase closes. 📅

Here’s what you need to know:

When you buy a home, you typically won’t pay the mortgage for the first month since it’s included in your closing costs!

For example, if you buy a home in February, you won’t make your first mortgage payment until April 1st. That means that if your lease also ends in February, you’ll go through March without making any rent or mortgage payments. 💰 😄

You can use this timing trick to avoid paying mortgage and rent in the same month, which can add more money to your wallet for fun things like new paint or furniture for your new home.

Save this if you’re home shopping!

This will NEVER happen when we work together! 🙅

Some agents might tell you to list your home for more than they think it’s worth in an attempt to make the highest commission. 😞 This is already a problem but it gets worse!

Homes that are priced too high often end up sitting on the market and look like a big red flag to buyers. ⛳

Not only does this end up scaring off great buyers, making it take longer to sell your home, but it also will usually decrease the price that your home does sell for. 📉

Ultimately, the price you list your home at is your decision–not your agent’s. You just want to make sure that you have an agent you can trust to be honest with you and support your best interests!

When we work together, you can rest assured that the recommendations and suggestions provided are honest and support YOUR best interests.

What’s the deal with this? 😣

Sometimes great homes just don’t seem to sell while ones that might be a little worse in condition or price end up with multiple clamoring buyers.

What’s the difference between them? How do some end up with a bidding war when others get maybe one offer?

It all comes down to this…

Using an agent with a great marketing plan! 💻

When you work with an agent who’s a marketing pro, they’ll know exactly how to make your property shine and attract the right buyers.

A great agent will make sure your listing is perfect with professional photos and descriptive listing information since this is the first impression buyers have of your home and determines if they’ll set up a showing or not.

This kind of agent will create a comprehensive marketing plan to get your home in front of the right buyers as well! 🥰

They make the difference between a home sitting on the market and one that flies off the market for over asking price. 👏

Bomb advice incoming. 💣

Many people think that if you’re buying a second home, you HAVE to put 20% down. 💸

But if you purchase the home as your primary residence and live in it full-time, you can take advantage of lower down payment options!

Plus, this will allow you to use your first home as a rental property and bring in passive income.

Here’s how to do it:

- Tap into your current home’s equity and pull out some funds to use a down payment for your second home

- Get your current home fixed up and ready to be rented out

- Work with your real estate agent to find the right second home and get your current home listed as a rental 🏠

Building your real estate portfolio and buying a second home doesn’t have to be complicated or require a huge down payment.

Instead, you can make some smart decisions and create financial sustainability!

Ready to buy your second home and earn passive income with your current home?

You need to hear this is you’re a first-time homebuyer.

This is one of the biggest problems first-timers have! 😟

They get into a beautiful home… but then their mortgage payment is so high that they have no money left over to make it cute, do the upgrades they want to do, or even go to the events that they’re used to going to.

This is being house-broke. 💸 🏠

Obviously, you want to avoid being house-broke, so you need to make sure to do these 3 things!

The most important thing to keep in mind as you buy your first home is to be radically honest with yourself about what you can afford. Cutting corners, turning a blind eye, and making guesses will put you at a higher risk of overspending on a home.

Your real estate agent will guide you through this process and help ensure that you find the right home that will fit your budget now and in the future.

You’re gonna wanna come back to this.

If you’ve been dreaming of a brand new home that’s custom-built for your life, you’ve probably looked into building your own home. 👷

However, many buyers shy away from building because they think that building a home will cost way too much money. 💸

But there are several ways to actually save money while building your home!

1. Closing cost assistance from the builder: Builders will often offer assistance to help with your out-of-pocket closing costs.

2. Builder interest rate incentives: If you choose the builder’s preferred lender, you’ll usually get a great interest rate incentive to bring your monthly cost down!

3. Great home warranties: New builds come with builder’s warranties in addition to home warranties that will help you with home maintenance and repairs in the first several years of owning a home.

Together, these options can make building a home attractive for your lifestyle and your wallet. 😊

Of course, always remember to work with an agent to help you navigate working with a builder so you can get the best deal possible on your new home.

Let’s break this down…

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, you can’t miss this information!

The mortgage application process is one of the most critical parts of buying a home. After all, it’s what actually lets you purchase the property! 🏦

Here are three things you’ll want to keep a close eye on when you’re getting ready to buy a home:

- Debt-to-Income Ratio: This is what lenders use to determine if they can lend to you or not. This is why it’s SO important to avoid taking on any new debt like a car loan or a credit card after you start the homebuying process!

- Credit Score: A great credit score can help you get a great interest rate while a low score will put your interest rate higher–and jeopardize your chances of getting approved. Get your credit score as high as you can before starting the process, and make sure to avoid missing bills or adding more debt during the mortgage application.

- Employment: Lenders look at your current employment and income when they’re evaluating your application. A stable job with a steady income will increase your chances of getting approved. Whatever you do, don’t quit or switch your job during the mortgage process! This is a big red flag for lenders and will throw your application into jeopardy. 🚨

Before you start the homebuying process, it’s important to understand these three factors and get them as good as you can before you start buying a home. 🏠

If only everyone knew this. 😞

These are 🔑 for anyone who wants to buy a home in 2025.

Here’s what you need to do before you start the homebuying process:

1. Research closing costs in your area. This will give you an idea of how much you should have available as cash

2. Save for your down payment. By the way, you DON’T need 20% down! Some loans offer options as little as 3.5% down.

3. Open a high-yield savings account. Store your down payment savings in this kind of account to get a little kickback from the interest!

4. Research state grants. Most states have support for first-time homebuyers and those in other situations. Do some research to see if any apply to you–they can help you save a ton!

5. Check your credit utilization. If it’s high, work on getting it down a bit before buying and make a habit of regularly checking your credit report.

6. Learn about the homebuying process. You’re in the right place to do this! Just follow along with or schedule a time to chat to get more info about the process.

Once you do these 6 things, you’ll be prepared to buy a home in 2025! 🎉

Don’t spend your time on these strategies when you’re selling your home! These strategies are not the way to get your home sold!

- Completing a full kitchen renovation: Kitchens are worth updating, but don’t do a whole renovation as your taste may not match the buyers.

- Overpricing the property: Many sellers will price high with the plan to negotiate down, but this can scare potential buyers away and make your home become stagnant on the market.

- Skipping staging: Some sellers think that they can just put their homes on the market without worrying about staging. But if you want to get the max profit from selling your home, staging is necessary!

Homeowners, do NOT miss out on this tip! 📓

You want to make the most profit when selling your home right?

Then you need to avoid this BIG mistake: overpricing your home! 💸

If you price your home too high, you can scare away potential buyers. This lack of interest can make your listing sit on the market for longer and result in price reductions.

Overpricing is the #1 reason listings go stagnant and why listing prices get reduced.

When buyers see a home that’s been on the market for a long time, they wonder why no one has snagged the deal yet and end up suspicious. 😒

How do you avoid making this mistake? Work with your agent to create a strategic price plan based on the local market.

This price may end up being slightly under your home’s market value, but don’t worry–this can lead to multiple interested buyers and even a bidding war!
