My Neighborhood!

Buyers do not realize that the location and surrounding people will truly effect the outcome of their new home. I am grateful to report that our neighbors thus far are incredible! Everyone looks out for one another and truly has each others best interest at heart. It makes me feel truly “at home”. Unfortunately, this evening someone from “The Blair Witch Project” needed medical assistance. That darn circle always has a police car or ambulance down it. After talking to the police officers this evening they informed my husband and I that it is truly an eventful spot for South Salt Lake…. GREAT! ha ha

In our community we have talked about doing a progressive dinner so everyone can have tours of each others houses. SUPER FUN idea huh? I have created a fun Facebook Page for everyone to interact through called Terra Solar’z (get it? Since our houses are energy efficient).

I am off to help the hub dig trenches for our sprinkling system, no home should be without one these days. Manual watering is for the birds and truly dates one’s house!!!

Makes my job worth it

I love logging on to Facebook and seeing comments, receiving texts or voicemails from clients thanking me for my service. I literally take my job extremely serious and LOVE nothing more than finding or selling my clients homes.

Update:

You remember my good friends that underwent some unfortunate circumstances with a very dishonest man?  Well, yesterday I came across a home that was literally listed across UtahRealEstate.com for 2 minutes.  The agent was in shock with how fast I called to set up and appointment.  He actually told me it was a record fast turnaround time 🙂 We put in an offer last night and it was accepted today! This home is by far the cutest thing EVER!!!! I am so excited for them to close on their home!!!

It is an amazing home for a GREAT price! 3 bedrooms/2 baths complete with a 2 car garage, and a mother-in-law apartment! I am so thrilled for them and SUPER grateful that they allowed me to be apart of their adventure.

Something to consider

I was given this advice from a dear friend of mine…

Blues and light blues, particularly, are considered, “dangerous” colors. It’s quite a commitment. However, the more earthy you go with any color, the more you remove the “danger.” Dusty blues and greens allow the color to come through without screaming back the full intensity *glare* of the color. But it’s a delicate balance. Dusty colors are considered a bit dated in many cases. I tend to go with more timeless color palettes and use furniture and accents as pieces to make a more modern feel. It’s different for everyone.
Always take into account that some remodels or paint you decide to do may not be best for resale, but at the same time it is your home and therefore you should LIVE IN IT!!!  I have friends that will tease me about how I am constantly viewing projects, upgrades, etc. as either a positive or negative when it comes to the resale value.  My new neighbors even came over the other night to ask my opinion and various different choices they intend to make regarding their home~SO CUTE!  I have also had several of my buyers contact me prior to closing to get my advice on replacing carpet with hardwood floors, painting accent walls, changing bathroom vanities, and so forth.  It it truly an honor to have people trust my professional opinion so much!
Have a great day and feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding projects you are entertaining for your home.  (801)-597-6446

Tips for sellers in today’s market

Sellers are you struggling to get your home under-contract?

In my experience I have had the pleasure to work with many types of clients. Some prefer fixer uppers; some prefer homes that are complete with updates. I had one client about 5 years ago that insisted she only she shown homes that were fully remolded to current popular standards. We ended up finding her version of the “perfect home”. In the last 5 years the couple have basically underwent an entire kitchen renovation, new paint through out the home, new carpet, as well as added concrete to the backyard for a hot tub pad. The wife and husband tease that they could have spent roughly $20,000 less on another home and used the extra money to update their home gradually; rather than spend more to end up updating regardless. I figure a buyer should buy what they like at the time rather than investing in something that does not truly excite them every time they think about their home! I want all my buyers to know that they are buying their version of the perfect home!

LOVE!

So to wrap things up if you are trying to sell your home; please allow me the opportunity to come by your home and offer tips and quick remodels to get your home SOLD!!!

What a difference a community can make

I am LOVING living in my new neighborhood! It is so much fun to be walking Tucker and run into such fun loving individuals!!! If you are tired of certain neighbors; call me and let’s get you into a more fitting neighborhood.

Today I was given the opportunity to list two of my great high school friends’ home in Farmington. I feel so honored they chose me as their Realtor!!! It is a darling condo and will sell FAST, so call today for a showing.

I also was able to take two of my favorite clients out again this evening. We found some fun homes, but not their home yet. I actually truly LOVE seeing them though and enjoy previewing homes with them. They are both super fun to be around and hilarious, so it makes it that much more exciting. Last Friday I took them to NPS and we had an absolute RIOT together!!!

On a rather depressing note, my husband’s cousin went into cardiac arrest this morning and is in ICU. Please pray for him, his wife, and two year old.
