Friday Mantras...

💫 I do not need to put 20% down...

I've said it once and I'll say it again. I recommend saving 3-5% and creating a separate fund outside of your down payment for any emergencies or home renovations that come up.

💫 I do not need a perfect credit score to purchase a home...

Ensuring you have a good credit score is important but having a PERFECT credit score is not necessary to buy a home.

💫 I will get pre-approved before I start looking for homes...

Having an understanding of what you can afford will help set you up for success on your home-buying journey.

Navigating the real estate market as a first-time homebuyer?

Here's a valuable tip to keep in mind 👉

Don't get caught up in trying to time the market perfectly.

Predicting market fluctuations is challenging even for seasoned professionals. Instead, focus on your financial readiness and long-term goals.

The ideal time to buy is when you're financially prepared and the purchase aligns with your future plans.

✅ If you prioritize affordability and suitability, you'll make a smart investment that benefits you in the long run.

Life and work have been extra busy lately! 🏃‍♀️

Being a Realtor, Mom, Wife, and Business Owner isn't always easy, but I'm so grateful to have the freedom to build my businesses in a way that most feels in alignment to me.

I want to encourage you to find the things that you are passionate about and do them as often as possible! 💫

Life is just too short to spend each day doing things that don't make you happy!

Just some Tuesday motivation for you. 💕

Here to debunk another myth! 👉

Most buyers are under the assumption that their closing costs are covered by their down payment. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. ❌

If you're unfamiliar with closing costs, they are processing fees that you pay to your lender in exchange for creating and finalizing your loan. Closing costs cover things like the price of your appraisal and your title insurance. 💰

Like your down payment, closing costs are due when you close on your home’s loan. Closing costs are independent from your down payment and can range between 2% – 6% of the total balance of your loan.

A workaround to this, is having your Realtor negotiate Seller Concessions. This is when a seller covers a percentage of your closing costs.💸

There are limits to how much the seller can contribute but this is a great option for buyers!

Having the right Realtor is the most important piece of home-buying!

Pro Home-Owning Tip 👉

Consider making just ONE additional mortgage payment annually. 📆

By doing this, you can significantly slash the amount of interest you'll pay over the life of your loan.

It's a small adjustment that can yield substantial savings and help you own your home outright sooner!
