It isn't everyday when you meet a new client in a coffee shop that magic happens but it did today. I had the pleasure to not only have a great meeting but also I met Jimmy Pepper Magic. He not only made me balloons characters for my boys but also for one of the people I met with. He then did some fun card tricks. If you are looking for some fun at your next party or event I would recommend him! Thank you Jimmy for making my meeting even better today!
Go show his page some love too!

🏡 It’s Opposite Day! So let’s shake things up:

🛑 Don’t list your house—keep it forever!
✅ Or... let me list it and help you find something even better.

🚫 Don’t tour homes—just imagine your dream house!
✅ Or... let’s make that dream a reality with some showings.

Real estate is one thing that doesn’t work well in reverse! Let’s skip the Opposite Day rules and get you moving in the right direction. 😄

💰 Hidden Costs of Buying a Home: What to Expect 💡

Buying a home is exciting, but don't let hidden costs catch you off guard! Here's a quick breakdown of expenses beyond the purchase price:

🔍 Home Inspection: $500–$800 for peace of mind.
📜 Appraisal Fee: $400–$600 to verify the home’s value.
🏦 Closing Costs: 2–5% of the home’s price (think lender fees, title insurance, etc.).
📂 Escrow Prepaids: Property taxes and homeowner’s insurance upfront.
🔑 Moving Costs: From DIY trucks to full-service movers, plan accordingly.
⚡ Utilities Setup: Deposits for water, electric, and more.
🛠️ Repairs/Upgrades: Even move-in ready homes might need small fixes or personalization!

Planning ahead for these costs can save you stress—and ensure your journey to homeownership is a smooth one. Have questions? Let me guide you through it!
