🚩 Package theft is on the rise. 🚩

📦Request signature delivery. This option can be inconvenient, but it can help ensure that valuable packages get straight into your hands.

📦Install a video doorbell. It will alert you when your package is dropped off—and help scare off potential porch pirates.

It’s hard to believe, but 2023 will be here in the blink of an eye. And what says “fresh start” better than a fresh coat of paint? 🖌️

Every autumn, the major paint brands forecast the top hues for the coming year, and we’re in love with their 2023 selections:

🎨Benjamin Moore 🎨
Benjamin Moore’s 2023 hue, Raspberry Blush, is a lively shade of pinkish coral. This bold, upbeat tone brings a powerful pop of fun, without overwhelming the senses.

🎨Sherwin Williams 🎨
Sherwin Williams is embracing warm neutrals with Redend Point, a blushing beige that feels nurturing, timeless, and a little romantic.

🎨Behr🎨
Behr’s choice of the year, Blank Canvas, is a warm and creamy off-white. Designed to be welcoming, calm, and inviting, it evokes fresh starts and new possibilities.

Research shows that a staged home can sell up to 11x faster and, even better, for 20% or more over list price! 🤩

Safe to say, staging your home is one of the best things you can do to ensure a successful sale, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few of our top staging tips:

💡 Lighten things up
Few buyers seek out a dark house; most prefer one that’s light and bright. Make sure windows are clean and open curtains and blinds to let in the maximum amount of daylight.

🛁 Freshen kitchens and baths
Add a fresh coat of paint or new hardware to outdated cabinets, and replace shower curtains and hand towels for a clean, streamlined look.

🛋️ Rearrange furniture
Position your furniture to show off your home’s best features. For example, if you have a fireplace, arrange furniture symmetrically around it to create a cozy space. Remove extra or oversized pieces to make rooms feel larger.

Thinking of selling your home? Strategic renovations can help you get the most money possible. 💰

It may seem counterintuitive to invest in a home you’re about to sell—but putting a little money into repairs and improvements before you list can have a big payoff.

Only 6% of today’s buyers are looking for a DIY fixer-upper. The vast majority want a move-in ready home, so issues or dated features can be a huge turnoff.

That’s why we work with our home seller clients to identify the updates that are worth their time and investment.

November 15 is ! 🥳

Here are some tips to get things squeaky clean:

🗓️Plan ahead.
You’ll need to empty your fridge to clean it properly. Get coolers with ice ready to keep perishables at a safe temperature while you clean.

🙅Toss expired items.
Check the use-by dates on those items in the back of the fridge. Throw away anything that’s past its prime.

🧽Remove the shelves and drawers.
Hand wash them with warm water and dish soap. If your shelves are made out of glass, let them come up to room temperature before using hot water to avoid cracking.

🚿Clean the interior.
Apply a gentle cleansing spray, vinegar, or a paste of baking soda and water. Use a cotton swab or old toothbrush to get into crevices where debris can collect.

🧼Wipe down the exterior.
Disinfect and clean the exterior using vinegar or antibacterial spray. Brush any crumbs out of the door gasket and gently wipe it with a cloth.

🌟 Finally, it’s a better time to be a homebuyer! 🌟

The last few years were tough, but here are a few reasons buyers should be feeling more optimistic:

🏡More inventory: An uptick in supply has given buyers more options to choose from.

🏡Less competition: On average, listings are receiving fewer offers than those sold during the real estate rush of 2020 and 2021.

🏡More bargaining power: The increase in inventory and decrease in competition mean that today’s buyers have far more leverage to negotiate on price and repairs.

Wondering if it’s the right time for you to buy a home? We’d be happy to talk through the specifics of your situation.
