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!!!

FRAUD!!!

I woke up this morning super optimistic for the events that were going to take place: 2 wedding receptions, getting a new property under-contract for my good friends, finding a property for a couple of buyers, etc. Little did I know that one man could literally destroy my day.

His name is Mario Krizanovic, he is the owner of Mario’s Plumbing and Heating. This is a very dishonest man!!! He works with a Realtor, Sani Malicevic from Century 21. Please everyone beware of these two. I would hate to see them hurt anyone else. There actions have been reported and will be handled accordingly.

I cannot stress the importance of having a Realtor is!!! I fear that my buyers would have been in BIG trouble had they entered into a contract with these terrible men and not had a professional acting on their behalf.

FREE Slurpee Day!!!

Good morning!

Most importantly,

I closed on my house yesterday and we will get keys today if the certificate of occupancy is issued from the city. The appraiser also has to come back to check off the front rail for our house. We are SO excited to call Penny Ave. home~it is crazy to me that my grandpa used to own that land. The same land that Nate and I will bring our first baby home to (someday, not in 9 months:)

Yesterday, in sales meeting we talked about a great article from Time

This is super exciting and VERY true! Take a look for yourself…

On a side note(*)

Last September I was diagnosed with cancer, Melanoma to be exact. It was NOT ideal timing (a few months from my 11-11-11 wedding). I found the cancer on my ear because a mole has started to grow in size. I underwent treatment for two months and then went off to allow time for the swelling and infection to settle prior to my surgery this last March. I am asking you all to PLEASE get your skin checked. My good friend I met up at The Huntsman Cancer Institute while I was going up there for treatments passed away last night from this ugly disease. Cancer has taken far too many people from me and I do not want to lose anyone else. STAY OUT OF TANNING BEDS, SPF daily, eat Vitamin D, take care of yoru body (you only have one), eat healthy, do not put harmful chemicals into your body (such as aspartame), and most of all live each day fully!

The Doctors had an episode on Melanoma. It was a great episode filled with lots of information!

A quick little lesson on SPF from my awesome oncologist:

Front label- Broad spectrum UVA + UVB protection

Back label- zinc oxide, titanium oxide, and avobenzone need to be in ingredients.

Thanks and have a great day!

Cancer free is the life for me!
