Save this checklist and share it with anyone getting their home summer-ready.

People move for all kinds of reasons, from job opportunities and affordability to lifestyle preferences and a desire for a change of scenery. 🏡 It's always interesting to see which areas attract the most attention from buyers across the country and how migration trends shift from year to year. These trends can offer a fascinating glimpse into what homebuyers value most at a given moment. Real estate is about more than properties; it's about the people and stories behind every move.

Timely advice from my roofer:

1. Once the storm is past, visually inspect your roof. Telltale things to look for are darker or lighter spots. This tells if a shingle is missing. Shingles in your yard could be from other roofs.
2. Don't call your insurance company until your roof is inspected. One phone call to the insurance company counts as a claim. Wait to have it inspected first.
3. Don't do business with people who come to your door. If you need a name or two of reputable companies let me know.
4. Breathe! You have 6 months to file a claim.
