Buyer #quicktiptuesday. This may be an option if you are looking at a home as is. This is a negotiation strategy you and your realtor may use! It is important to choose a realtor who knows the contracts and is a good negotiator on your behalf. The sellers still do not have to make repairs, but since you are under contract they may consider it, especially if it amounts to a small value!

Work space transformation = weekend project!

Fun showing a house today that was built in 1940 and was so well loved. The character and original features it still has shows the story of the home

Quick tip Tuesdays are back for 2021 The home buying process can be time consuming and stressful. Feel free to start talking to a realtor prior to being ready to buy to get comfortable with them and the process. My job is to prepare you to buy a home and make the process seamless. If you have questions- let’s talk!

Do you know someone (up to 6 people) needing a short term lease on East Campus? The lease must end August 2021, but the property is available UNTIL then. This would be a great opportunity for a place to stay for the summer between leases!
