1:19: If a client comes to me and just knows that they want to buy a home or they’re financially ready to buy a home, but they don’t know what they’re looking for.
1:26: I would say, let’s find out what you’re looking for first.
1:29: You can’t just go shop around.
1:31: That’s not only a waste of all of our times, but it’s a waste of the seller time as well.
1:34: So I would say to start brainstorming what makes the most sense, functionality wise for your family and for you, the commute wise to work.

2:10: That’s the first thing that people see whether it be online.
2:12: That 1st 2nd picture, it’s always of the curb appeal of the home.
2:15: So I would say to invest a little bit into your curb appeal.
2:20: Maybe that even might mean painting a fresh coat of paint on the front door, a fresh new wreath,, and then go inside and fix kind of the same thing, those basic things like wall paint,, cracked windows, things that buyers see that might be kind of red flags.
2:34: Start with those major things and then work down from there to create value to contact me.
2:42: The best way is to call or text me.
2:44: I text a lot better than I call sometimes just from being so busy.
