Timber Lakes ** UNDER-CONTRACT

After helping one of my dearest friends allocate a 2nd home in Timber Lakes I now have a goal to do the same for my family. This area is absolutely breathtaking. The HOA does an incredible job at maintaining the security and preservation of the community.

If you too want to start the process for a 2nd home/getaway house~ contact me today!

10 Commandments of Agent Safety

Hi there friends!

Today I am posting something for my fello real estate agents (sorry clients, I still LOVE ya).

There is a HUGE need for publications such as these; especially for those newbie agents. Some of my coaching students have heard the wrath from me about this topic. They will thank me one day! I remember being a new agent and wanting business so desperately and being willing to do just about anything to make that dream a reality. Looking back I definitely made some poor decisions and I am just VERY thankful that my choices did not end badly.

Here is my list of commandments (yes I dare use that word because this is IMPORTANT stuff here folks) :

1. Have a showing itinerary and share it with your office or business partner.
2. Do not ever meet a stranger at any property!
3. Take your car (this should be a given).
4. Avoid working after dark. The client and business will still be there in the A.M. if they are legit.
5. Dress appropriately and for safety.
6. Use prospect ID form that is sent prior to any appointments are even made for a potential client.
7. Make sure your office knows the make of your car and license plate number.
8. If you feel something is off; leave!
9. Have your cell phone armed to call for help if need be. Use a speed dial button for your office or broker too.
10. Try to take someone with you. I am lucky enough to be married to a lender and therefore it works out VERY nicely. In my single days I took my cousin and promised him ice cream afterwards 😀 I highly encourage the buddy system.

HAPPY MONDAY~ GET OUT THERE AND MAKE SOME DREAMS COME TRUE!

What Buyers Really Want in a Home

Here is a list of the top 10 things buyers want in their next house:

1. Bigger great rooms with a nice open floor plan.
2. Grand master bathroom (who doesn’t want this?)
3. A green home with energy efficiency. Can I just say my $10 power bill ROCKS!
4. Walk-out basement for those naughty children, ha ha.
5. Higher ceilings, not just vaulted ceilings, rather a 8 or higher foot ceiling.
6. 3rd car garage
7. Kitchen pantry-A MUST!
8. The “newness factor”. A lot of my buyers do not want to do work to the home prior to moving in.
9. Central air (kind of a given, right?!)
10. Outdoor entertainment space for summer nights!

Have a great day!
