Staying at home for a few days while we wait out COVID- 19 seems like it may be nice at first and if your like me it’s a wonderful change of pace! It sounds great not having to put on makeup for a few days and lounge in comfy clothes… BUT on day 4,5,6… you might start to feel like you are loosing it.

What is a CoVA Ambassador?

A CoVA Ambassador is an exclusive group of people that are our biggest fans and supporters! An ambassador will refer us business and promote the business we have now!

How can I become one?

It’s simple… give out our name to friends, family, co-workers! Anyone that may be interested in buying, selling, or investing give us a shout out. We love getting the opportunity to earn business.

2019 was a great year for the real estate market with an increase in median sale price, decrease of homes average days on the market, and an overall increase in closings! 📈

It’s January! The dreaded January! You know, it’s the month when we make alllll these “resolutions” to which we work towards the rest of the, yeaaarrr…. Well, maybe at least the next three monnthssss…. Um, OK, let’s be honest. Most of us last about 30 days, then we are back to our normal routine and forget all about the massive goals we set for our lives this year.

My husband and I recently started the process of doing a major renovation to our home. Now, when I say “major,” I mean we have stripped 95 percent of the home away and are rebuilding it so that only 5 percent of the old home remains. This includes moving windows and doors and adding a full second story. I’ve been posting about it on social media and sharing updates using a #ProjectRaiseTheRoof.

Sometimes no matter how much you prepare or how diligent you are when hiring someone, there comes a time when a change is needed. Sometimes changes need to happen more quickly. When you’re trying to sell your home, time is valuable. Express your concerns, but if no change is made, it’s time to fire.

Since the downturn of the market in 2007, there are a lot of homeowners who have transitioned from home “seller” to “investor,” simply because they owe more on their home than they can sell it for in the current market. Initially this seems like an “OMG” moment and what could be a halt in moving your family to a new town, or even just upgrading your current living situation locally. However, with so many creative loan programs out there, if you have good credit and your debt-to-income ratio is reasonable, you can easily transition your current home into an investment like many of our clients have done.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, buying a home is the biggest investment most of us will ever make. Making sure you do it right and that you have someone looking out for your best interest isn’t just a good idea, it’s imperative!

It’s that time of the year again!! 🎄 You won’t want to miss the opportunity to feel the holiday spirit! Check out these great events that are happening in our area!
