๐ธ Start outside
Start by sprucing up your front porch/stoop and door with potted plants and a new, spring wreath.
๐ธ Switch up the accessories
Throw pillows and blankets are an easy, affordable way to add pops of springy colors and patterns to your decor.
๐ธ Pull out the spring scents
Light a fresh smelling candle or diffuse lavender, rosemary, or bergamot essential oils.
๐ธ Open the windows
Let in natural light and give your home some fresh air!
๐ธ Add fresh flowers
Flowers shouldnโt just live in the kitchen! Buy a big bouquet of your favorite blooms and divide it up between small vases to place throughout your home.

When youโre buying or selling a home, itโs important to be aware of closing costsโthe expenses that come with finalizing the sale of a property. These costs are due at the closing (or settlement) of the transaction and typically range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount for buyers.
Whatโs Included in Closing Costs?
Loan Origination Fees: Fees charged by the lender for processing your loan application.
Appraisal Fees: The cost of having a professional appraiser assess the value of the home.
Title Insurance: Protects you and the lender against any issues with the propertyโs title.
Inspection Fees: Costs for a home inspection to check for any structural or safety concerns.
Recording Fees: Fees paid to the local government to officially record the transaction.
Tip from Kari & Whit: Make sure to set aside a budget for these fees so youโre not caught off guard. Itโs always a good idea to ask your lender and real estate agent for an estimate of these costs early in the process!
Ready to take the next step in your home journey? Weโre here to guide you through it all! ๐ก

Here are 5 crucial mistakes that could cost you thousands:
1. Draining your savings for a down payment. Keep an emergency fund! Those unexpected home repairs won't wait for your bank account to recover.
2. Opening new credit cards or making big purchases during the mortgage process. Trust us โ that new furniture set can wait until after closing! Even small credit changes can impact your loan terms.
3. Skipping the home inspection to save money or win a bidding war. We know it's tempting in this market, but those hidden issues could turn your dream home into a money pit.
4. Not shopping around for mortgage lenders. Even a fraction of a percentage point can mean thousands saved over your loan term. Do your homework!
5. Underestimating the true cost of homeownership. Property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance โ these expenses add up fast. We'll help you create a realistic budget beyond just your mortgage payment.
Ready to start your homebuying journey the right way? Let's chat! We're here to help you avoid these pitfalls and find your perfect home!

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain." - Vivian Greene
There's something magical about finding joy in life's unexpected moments. We've learned that the most beautiful chapters often come from embracing the uncertainties, taking that leap of faith, and yes - dancing through those rainy days! ๐ง๏ธ
Because sometimes the "storms" are exactly what we need to grow, to discover our strength, and to appreciate the sunshine even more. Whatever weather you're facing this week, remember - you've got the power to turn it into your own beautiful dance. โจ

The median sale price is the midpoint of all homes sold during a specific timeโhalf sold for more, half sold for less. ๐ Itโs often used to gauge trends in the real estate market because itโs less influenced by ultra-high or ultra-low sale prices than an average. But here's the catch: it doesnโt tell you about the condition, size, or features of those homes.
For example, if more luxury properties sold in a given month, the median price might spike, but that doesnโt mean every home in the area suddenly became more expensive. On the flip side, if more starter homes sold, the median price could dip, even if property values remained steady.
So what does this mean for you? If you're buying or selling, it's important to focus on what's happening in your specific price range and neighborhood. Thatโs where we come in! We analyze local market trends to give you the clearest picture possible and help you make confident decisions.

A second mortgage is a loan that uses your home's equity as collateral while your first mortgage remains in place. The amount you can borrow depends on:
- Your home's current market value
- The remaining balance on your first mortgage
- Your credit score
- Your debt-to-income ratio
A second mortgage creates an additional loan using your home's equity as collateral. You can choose between two main types: a Home Equity Loan, which provides a one-time lump sum with fixed payments, or a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which offers flexible access to funds as needed with variable rates.
Many homeowners use these loans for major renovations, debt consolidation, education expenses, or investment opportunities. The key advantage? Second mortgages typically offer lower interest rates than credit cards or personal loans because they're secured by your property.
To qualify, lenders typically look for:
Significant home equity (usually 20%+)
Strong credit history
Stable income
Healthy debt-to-income ratio
While we don't provide loans directly, our network of trusted mortgage lenders can help find the perfect solution for your needs. We'll work alongside you to evaluate your options and connect you with experienced professionals who can guide you through the lending process.
