Happy Siding Check Day! 🏠🔨
(Yes it’s a real thing, and it’s today, June 18th)
Your siding is your home's first line of defense against the elements. The weather this spring has put our homes to the test, so taking a few minutes to do a quick perimeter check can protect your investment and prevent costly repairs in the future:
🚶♂️ Walk the Perimeter: Take a walk around your home. Look closely for any warped boards, peeling paint, cracks or chips on vinyl siding.
🪟 Check the High Risk Spots: Pay extra attention to the siding near gutters, windows, and downspouts. These are the most common zones for hidden moisture damage.
🐜 Look for Critters: Keep an eye out for small holes or gaps. Compromised siding is an open invitation for pests that you definitely don't want moving in!
If you catch any small cracks, chips, or gaps early, a little waterproof caulk can save you thousands later. For anything bigger, it’s worth calling in a pro!
Tell us in the comments, what kind of siding does your home have? Vinyl, brick, wood, or stucco? 👇
“You’re under contract!” 🎉
Those three words are what every home buyer loves to hear.
Don’t let the excitement cause you to make a major mistake, though! We've had this conversation with numerous buyers lately, so we wanted to share the same advice with you.
A common misconception is that your credit is reviewed at the time of application only. The truth is, your credit, income, and employment will all be reviewed one last time right before closing.
To make sure you can move forward with the purchase of your home, make sure you hold off on any of the following until the keys are officially in your hands:
❌ Financing new furniture or appliances
❌ Buying or leasing a car
❌ Opening new credit cards (even for the store discount!)
❌ Changing jobs or switching industries
❌ Making large cash deposits without a clear paper trail
❌ Co-signing a loan for anyone else
One tiny, well-intentioned financial move can create massive delays or even cost you the house at the finish line. Before applying for any kind of credit, making any financial changes, or job changes, always talk to your lender first! 📞

Financial moves today = Homeownership tomorrow! 🏠
Most people don't miss out on buying a home because they “don't make enough.” A lot of the time, it comes down to habits...
❗️ Car payments that seemed small.
❗️ Credit cards that felt manageable.
❗️ Income that went up… but spending went up faster.
Your 20s and 30s are not about being perfect. They are about positioning your future, because here's what a lot of people don't realize:
You don't reach the "I'm ready" confidence to buy a home the month you start house hunting, it starts years earlier.
The home you buy at 30? That is often shaped by the financial decisions you made when you were 25.
At The Staples Realty Group, we don’t just show houses, we help you build a strategy to get keys. 🔑
If you're ready to start mapping out your home buying journey, or have any questions about preparing to buy a home, shoot us a message or give us a call 👇 We're here to help!

Today, we pause to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
While enjoying the beautiful weather outdoors today, take a moment to remember those who are gone, but never forgotten. Their courage and selflessness is the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy today.
We wish everyone in The Region a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
Sunday mornings hit differently when this is your backyard! 🌿✨
We spent some time with a client touring this $1.7M masterpiece this Memorial Day weekend, and with over 30 acres, it is a true testament to what "peaceful" means.
Sometimes, the most valuable thing a home can provide isn't just a place to live, but a place to truly unplug. That's what this home provides, and we just had to share some clips from this stunning property!
