Happy Spring!

Greetings and Happy Spring to You!

Wishing you a serendipitous new season. I’m enjoying spring break week with my family at Mt Hood. We are riding out the last of the snow season and then will be ready to switch gears to hiking, and for the kids and Judah; dirt bike & quad riding. Our appointment has been made to de-winterize the trailer for camping this year and Glacier is on the calendar 😀 Always something to look forward to and never a dull moment in this household! 

March Madness and Spring Fever fun are here! Bring on the listings! March has brought on more inventory with much gratitude from buyers. It’s been a very pleasant change of pace and we will continue to see this surge of new listings through April and May. Multiple offers have not slowed down even with the rising interest rates. 

For sellers; it’s important to meet with us early on in the process to give us time to create a plan specific to your home and you. My co-broker and I recently had clients who needed to put their home on the market super quick! Our goal was “picture ready” in one week. This was a young family with two kids and a dog, so not a lot of time to work on it. We did our pre-listing walk through with them, gave them their checklist for home staging and showing preparation, and they miraculously pulled it all together for photos in one weeks time. Four offers later, their home sold for $40k over asking price at $505,000! They were beyond thrilled and the sales price exceeded their expectations. A manageable checklist plus our resources equals success! Ready to sell ? Let’s talk sooner than later. 

For buyers; it’s important to discuss your goals and timelines. We will go over different potential offer strategies so when you find that home you are excited about and want to make your home, we are ready to write an offer with all of our competitive terms. I’ll be in close communication with the sellers agent to determine current offer status, understand what the seller(s) need in regards to possession and any other additional information I should know. Working together with you, we will put together our strongest offer! It’s challenging but also exciting, and I am happy to be your trusted guide throughout the process.

Are you ready? Let’s do this! Cheers and enjoy the change of seasons. I’m here for you when you need me and look forward to talking with you soon.
