HUGE congratulations to Rachel & Sebastian, newlyweds and proud new homeowners! 🏡✨ They were ready to use their VA loan and dive into the real estate market, and instead of feeling overwhelmed by the changes in the real estate market, they jumped in and embraced it as an opportunity. Knowing that many buyers are confused and on the sideline, they enjoyed less competition and got their first offer accepted! While another agent they know told them it might take up to 6 months to find and close on a home, we got it done in just a few weeks of looking! 🙌 And I got them a smokin' deal! Not only did the seller fully cover the compensation for them to have their own agent representation (me!), but we also got them a home with paid-off solar AND $8,500 extra in closing cost credits—making their journey to homeownership even more affordable. Thanks to their incredible loan officer, we were able to close in just 17 days (and we would have closed a few days earlier if it wasn't for a delay from the HOA providing docs). From the first message they sent me about wanting to move, it’s been exactly 5 weeks! 🥰 I’m so excited for Rachel & Sebastian as they start this new chapter together. 🥳🗝️ Know someone thinking of making a move?

🏡✨ Closing Day Magic! ✨🏡 Big shoutout to my sellers who not only secured a full-price offer but also snagged a sweet deal with a free rent-back, giving them the perfect timing and flexibility they needed. 🕒🔑 And the cherry on top? Everything wrapped up just in time for them to land an awesome brand-new home in Utah! 🏠🎉 Here's to seamless transitions and new beginnings! 🥂 #SmoothMoves #NewHomeDreams

🌟 Big Win for Ben! 🌟 I shared Ben's story a little bit ago after we beat out several cash buyers to snag an awesome home in Escondido! After following advice on completing a thorough inspection, Ben discovered some issues with the home. But here's the twist - instead of walking away, we negotiated hard. Despite 14 other buyers waiting in the wings, I worked with the awesome listing agent to negotiate for the seller to give Ben $30,000 in closing cost credits! 🏠💰 Even better? The house appraised for more than his purchase price. A double victory! 🎉 All in all. it's proof that good advice and smart moves pay off. Congrats, Ben! Thinking of making a move? Let's chat!

I love sharing the stories of my clients! While most were planning their Easter festivities this week, my clients Xavier & Cynthia and I were on a mission. 🏡✨ I helped them get prepared and pre-approved, then we got out there and saw several awesome homes, and when their dream home hit the market we jumped into action. Our strategy? A clean, straightforward offer and a little charm with the listing agent. Plus, a stellar lender who made sure our offer stood out. (Plus he helped them get a MUCH better rate than what Loan Depot was offering them, so they are saving a TON!) The result? Their first offer written was accepted AND we got a $10,000 seller paid credit towards their closing costs. 🎉 Big congrats to Xavier & Cynthia! Proof that even during holiday season, dreams don’t take a break. 🐣🔑 Thinking of making a move? Let's chat!

🎉🏠 It has been a very HAPPY FRIDAY! 🏠🎉 Big shoutout to my new client Ben! 🌟 We just nailed the home-buying equivalent of a perfect game. We found a spot listed below market (yeah, like finding a unicorn 🦄 in your backyard), and it was game on! We were up against at least 5 other offers. And not just any offers, but at least 2 were cash offers. But did we get cold feet? No way! Strategy was key. 🗝️ I connected well with the listing agent, made sure our offer was super clean, and teamed up with the lender to make sure Ben looked like a dream buyer. And guess what? It WORKED. 🚀 Our offer? Accepted. 🥳 Beating out a cash offer? Priceless! Moral of the story: Never underestimate the power of a well-played plan, even if you’re going up against a cash offer. Here's to finding your dream home against the odds! 🍾🏡 Thinking of making a move? Let’s chat!
