Nobody likes a garden or house pest--that why they're called pests! Thankfully, your first stop doesn't always have to be an exterminator. These common plants contain #NaturalRepellents, which are #ChemicalFree, and totally safe. They might not save you having to call a professional if the infestation is bad enough, but they'll certainly reduce your chances of getting to that point.

The Spring market is right around the corner! 🏡🔑
If you've been thinking of listing your home, it's a great time to be a seller for MANY reasons.
👉 Thanks to record-low interest rates, buyers are extremely motivated to purchase a home and lock in a low mortgage rate. 💰
👉 With so many buyers out here searching for homes, inventory is also extremely LOW, creating less competition for you as a seller. 🏆
If you're open to discussing what selling during this market might look like for you, I'd love to chat. Call or message me to get started. 📲
