In a normal market, it’s good to have an experienced agent coaching you through the process of buying or selling a home. However, the market we’re in today is far from normal. As a result, an expert isn’t just good to have by your side – .

Today’s housing market is full of extremes. Record low interest rates paired with low inventory has created buyer frenzy, and these market conditions can be overwhelming. Having someone you trust on your side to help guide you through the process of buying and selling can give you confidence and success through each step.

With so many agents out there, it can be difficult to spot the good agents from the, well, not so great. Here are a few tips to help you find a professional you trust:

• - ask friends and family members if they can recommend a real estate agent with whom they’ve had a good experience. I recommend interviewing at least 2-3 agents.

• -
start by examining their online presence and client reviews. Don’t forget to also check their website and social media accounts.

• - ask the top contenders to provide information on homes they’ve listed and sold in the past year, with contact information for at least a few recent clients. This goes for buyers as well. Ask the past clients how much support the agent provided throughout the process, and if they would hire them again.

• - go with an agent you trust and feel comfortable with. This is probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make, so it is important to like the person who will be guiding you along the way.

If you’re planning to make a move this year, let’s connect. I’d love to interview for the job!

You’ve searched for and found the perfect place to call home — congratulations!  

Few things are more exciting than becoming a homeowner, but it is also one of the largest financial investments you’ll ever make, which is why it’s important to start off on the right foot. Here are my go-to tips for those first few weeks in your new home that can save you time, money, and effort later down the road.

Get to know your neighbors.
Meeting your neighbors is one of the most important things you can do once you move in. After all, you never know when you’ll need a good neighbor to grab the mail or water the plants when you’re out of town (or when you may need a few eggs for the brownies you’re making at 8:30 pm).

Paint first!
There’s nothing more inconvenient than having to paint a home while you’re living in it. Schedule the movers a few days after closing occurs so that you have time to give your new home a deep clean and paint the main living areas.

Change the locks before you move in.
There’s no telling how many people have a key to your home – from former homeowners to babysitters, neighbors, pet sitters, etc. it can be a lot. You can either hire a locksmith or buy and install a new, electronic deadbolt.
