Making offers in a shifting market
Nashville IS a polite market, but don't be afraid to send an offer even if it seems low. Right now it is more offensive for the seller to not receive any offers. ✔️ Make the offer in writing ✔️Negotiate in good faith ✔️ Be respectful of all parties ✔️ Keep ego out of it I am not advocating for making insulting, bully offers. Instead leave your ego at the door and work to bring people together. Both buyers and sellers are adjusting to a shifting market. We strive to provide a

BUYER BEWARE!
Beware click bait on the housing market portending doom. Most news stories report on closed sales contracted weeks or months ago. That information is ancient in a fast chancing market. Boots-on-the-ground data provides a more accurate picture of real time market conditions. An agent that is a fervent student of both the local market and market fundamentals is your strongest asset.

When it comes to financing evaluate ALL your options.
For example, how long will you live in the home? ⏰ Longer Then you will likely refinance at some point. A mortgage rate can be changed with a new loan on the same house. Shorter An Adjustable Rate mortgage may work better if you’ll only be in the house for 3-5 years. You’ll move before the rate resets. Dig in to your options!

Constantly changing market conditions make pricing an art as well as a science.
Calculating the comparable sales data is the science. Forecasting is the art 👩🏼🎨. The information is there in both cases, but great agents put in the time to uncover all of it. To run comps, you sit at a computer. Comps are information from the past. To forecast, you need to know what is happening NOW. That requires networking and sharing information with other great agents. Anecdotes precede data✨ We’ll know what’s about to happen because of the stories we hear from oth

We’ve closed $22M in sales so far this year ☀️
And I am genuinely optimistic about the second half of 2022. The difference between online portals and actual market experience is this……data on portals can’t accurately articulate how people act when they buy and sell. It’s why Zillow couldn’t make money actually buying and selling homes. We talk to buyers & sellers ever day. We network with other agents, study real estate forums, attend meetings, preview houses, participate in agent breakfast clubs, consult with lenders, et

You Can't Control the Market, But ...
You can't control the market, but there are things you control. You can make your home more marketable -- and more profitable. 📌 Make smart improvements…not all home improvements have equal benefit. 📌 Staging…..it just works. Do it. 📌 Strategic pricing….if you overprice and sit on the market, buyers will assume something is wrong. Don’t risk the stigma of high days on market. I got my real estate license in 2008. Since then I’ve sold hundreds of homes, in all prices ranges

If you’re local & felt squeezed by the market, take another look. There is opportunity ☀️
Buyers were thrown a curve ball by interest rates, but they gained negotiation power. Go out. Look at houses. Find one you like & make an offer! ☝🏼 Pro tip Have an experienced lender on your side. Ask them about strategies like buying down the interest rate, rate locks, etc. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Looking for a Nashville home?

#1 Home Maintenance Item you need to do
The #1 home maintenance item you’ll be glad you did when you go to sell is maintain your HVAC regularly. Get annual professional check-ups, do recommended repairs and keep your paperwork. Trust me, it will make life easier during inspection. Personal story…
I am selling a personal property right now with an HVAC I replaced in 2013. I had it serviced before listing and the company recommended $700 in repairs.
Of course I didn’t want to spend $700 on repairs, and I debated ab

Timing the Market
Are you trying to time the market? It’s normal to have questions when making a big decision like buying a home. And one of the most often asking questions is “Is this the right time?” Points to consider…. • You can’t LIVE IN THE STOCK MARKET • Real estate is the only investment you can live in. You need to live somewhere. If you plan to live here for several years and this home fits your needs, why wait? • FINDING “the one” • You will only be excited about very very few pro
