#JUSTSOLD 141k over list price. When I met my client I came with a plan and how we were going to execute, to get them top dollar for a home that was original, built in 1964. We opened escrow 141k over list price. Then I had to negotiate the contract price with the appraiser and protect my clients equity in repair negotiations. I treat all my clients equity as if it were my own and leave no money on the table 👊🏽

A short list of where we’d rather be on a Monday: sipping organic, sustainable, biodynamic Cabernet in the wine tasting room at Long Meadow Ranch 😍 Where’s your Monday daydream taking you?
After spending a good six months at home and staring at our walls, the question is if you had $5,000 to spend on your home, where would you spend it? Outside? Inside? Which room?
Lunchtime in Hawaii (😉 if only). If you're craving a little Island flavor Yard House Maui Pineapple Chicken can get you there.... almost! 🍍🌴🌈

The more you know...
From the article:
"As a result of low mortgage rates that have stayed under three percent since July, the housing market has seen a strong, upward trajectory during a very uncertain time," said Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sam Khater. "We're seeing potential homebuyers who now have more purchasing power and many current homeowners who have the option to refinance their loan for a better rate. However, several factors could disrupt this activity, including high home prices, low inventory and lender capacity."

There’s no place like home.
The phrase has always been true, but especially in the last six months. What used to be a place to return to after a long day now serves multiple purposes to people all day, every day. The home is now an office, school, restaurant, gym, playroom and more.
Here are four ways home design has changed because of COVID-19:
😷Focus On Cleanliness And Health
🌈New Colors And Quality
🖨Multi-Use Spaces
🏡Prioritized Outdoor Space
What changes have you made this year in your home to adapt?
A well-maintained front yard can boost the value of your property by as much as 12%, which can translate to tens of thousands of dollars. Some ideas to inspire you!

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, mudslides, and wildfires can happen almost anywhere. If a natural disaster is looming and evacuation becomes possible, every household should have an emergency "go bag" ready for each family member.
There are considerations in this article that you may not have considered. A few minutes of planning now can make a tremendous difference later.
