Remodeling and Renovating is a passion of mine.... one that many people have a hard time envisioning. When I walk into a home I can picture the possibilities rather than the current status. Take this kitchen for instance. Upon walking into the home, you walked directly into a wall of cabinets - yellow, terrible, overwhelming cabinets...

                                                                       Once the walls were removed, the open kitchen/dining concept came together quite well. Keeping the original shiplap on the walls of the once stuffy and dark den, I added stone facade to the wood burning fireplace, painted the walls and shiplap white, and the room came together beautifully.                                        …

Let's say 4 years ago you and your spouse bought your first home.. you were so excited!  Fast forward to now, and your family has grown. Your cute first home is now a little cramped.

*That's ok!*

 

Here are some tips for first-time sellers:

1. Price it realistically from the start - with my help, we will set a listing price that is competitive and attracts the right buyer.

2. Marketing can be costly ... for ME! That's right, for me! When you list your house with me, my fee already includes the cost to market your home for MAXIMUM exposure, professional photos.. the peace of mind that you're in good hands is free ; )

3. Remove any and all clutter - this allows the buyer to picture themselves in the home, which is ultimately…

First-time Home Buyer? Here are some rookie mistakes that you should avoid:

1. Not asking enough questions: Ask as many questions as you can think of to your lender - you don't want to miss out on any good deals!

3. Use the wrong agent: Not every agent is equal - you want an agent *like me* that is willing to help you through EVERY step of the process. Home buying should be exciting!

4. Wimpy offer: Another way to utilize the best agent *cough* - you want an appealing offer for the seller so that they accept it and you get the house you want!

5. Expecting to…

Deciding to purchase an investment property can be a huge decision, but if you look at all of the advantages you have when it comes to real estate investing, it can make your decision much easier. While they’re many benefits I could discuss today, April is tax month, so it got me thinking specifically about the tax benefits of investing in real estate. Here are some of the TOP tax benefits of investing in real estate!!

 Mortgage Interest

Your mortgage interest is by far one of the largest tax breaks you can receive if you own a home. Each time you pay down your mortgage a large percentage goes towards interest. All the interest you pay within that year is tax deductible up to a loan value of $1 million.

Did you realize you can also…
