Nothing says Tuesday like a double closing day! Kicked it off with the Clayton’s purchase on in John’s Creek followed by Richard sale in Peachtree Corners. Headed out to an inspection right after all of this. Why yes, the real estate market is still hot :-)!#northatlantahomegroup #atlantarealestate #atlantarealtor #remaxaroundatlanta #peachtreecornersrealtor

Are you a buyer trying to navigate a seller’s market? It can be a difficult and confusing process, so here are some steps you can follow to find your dream home. Is there anything missing from this list that you would add?

Reflecting on the past year in real estate, 2020 was not at all what anyone could have expected. When the shutdowns first hit in mid March the outlook for the real estate market was bleak. All showings on my listings were cancelled and I had endless conversations with clients on what to do in a shut-down market. But once we moved into early April, people decided house shopping in masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer felt safe and things exploded from there. Many people began to ...re-evaluate their home's functionality and items like home offices, space for digital learning, and a large outdoor yard became motivation for making a move in 2020. As a result, my business has doubled this past year! I want to send a big thank you to all those who entrusted me with the buying or selling of their home and to all of you who referred me to friends and family who were considering making a move. Showing homes and working with my clients (who become friends) has been such a joy and welcome reprieve from the pandemic reality. Looking forward to this year, I am grateful that I can continue assisting people in finding their forever home and I look forward to the new opportunities 2021 will bring.

Did you know? You can borrow from your 401(k) to finance your home purchase! While not necessarily the first option you should turn to, it can be done. According to Investipedia.com, it’s best to borrow from your 401(k) rather than withdrawing from it. Even though you will have to pay yourself back, taking out a loan typically won’t incur early withdrawal penalties or necessitate income tax on the amount taken out.

Do you find yourself coming home every day, wishing you had just a little bit more space to kick up your feet and relax? What’s holding you back from calling your real estate agent to do exactly that? It’s time that you finally stop settling and find a space that works with your lifestyle.

Investing in a home can be an intimidating thought, but trust that your bank account (and future self) will thank you later.

Though there are trends that definitely should stay in the late ‘90s/early 2000s (like frosted tips), shelf organizers are not one of them! Pantry like it’s 1999 and use items like woven baskets, vases, and ceramic cups to organize your pantry. As an added bonus, your pantry will look aesthetically pleasing! #WinWin

If you stepped into a home and saw 1 feature that makes you instantly turn the other direction, what would that feature be? For example, is it bright pink flooring and wallpaper? Is it not enough floor-to-ceiling windows? Or is it a huge fixer-upper?

Though it’s tempting to wait for that perfect moment to start something, the truth is: there’s no moment like right now. Happy #MLKDay, everyone!

If every real estate agent had a dollar for every time they were asked, Is this the year to buy a house? they wouldn’t need commission anymore! In all honesty, while there is no way to make predictions for real estate, standing on the sidelines definitely won’t help you reach your dreams. Don’t wait any longer, let’s chat today.
