Topics & Highlights

Embracing Change:  What do we have in store for us in an election year? Historically,
election years are good for buyers, however most of us feel some level of uncertainty
especially with what’s happening in the world today. We may find some level of procrastination due to this uncertainty. Here are some basic ideas to stay on track to successfully sell or purchase property. Please consult with a licensed Realtor®, they will provide guidance and assistance on touch points for your specific situation.

1. Write it down and break it down. If you feel overwhelmed with thoughts of buying or selling a home, create a to-do list and prioritize your tasks in order of importance.
2. Get motivated and organized by setting deadlines. You may need to work from an ideal finish date backwards, Nancy coined this reverse engineering.
3. Minimize distractions by staying on task, create a blocked schedule and unplug so you can concentrate on getting important tasks completed.
4. Be accountable and recheck your to-do list which will provide a sense of accomplishment.

Experience Matters:   Your Realtor® should act as a guide and mentor providing details
to help you make decisions throughout your home buying and selling journey.


Lifestyle:  The most important detail to provide your Realtor® is how and where you see yourself living. This information could include the location, the size, the configuration, or the features of the home. It’s the tangible and intangible details of the way you see yourself living that bring you joy.


Timing:   It truly is “all about the timing” especially if there is a window of opportunity. In
Real Estate there are periods of time, timelines, deadlines, expiration dates and many
details around time that factor into a real estate transaction. Your Realtor® will help you stay on track and provide important dates and information. Always remember to go with your gut and if the timing doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are
procrastinating.
