BECOME A SAVVIER

homeowner and local

Congratulations, you are now a homeowner! No more paying someone else's mortgage and you can now start building equity. However, being a homeowner also means you can't just call your landlord if a pipe bursts, or a shingle on your roof falls off...these are now YOUR responsibilities. But don't worry! I've got your back. Download your free copy of my Yearly Home Maintenance Schedule to give you the low-down on keeping a well-maintained home now and long into the future.

AND it's also separated by season, so you know exactly what to do and when! There is even a section where you can keep track of your updates, as well as add some of your own for your unique home (such as if you have a pool, solar panels, etc.). Then when the time comes to sell, I can turn this into a great marketing piece that buyers absolutely LOVE! They like to know the home that they're about to buy has been well cared for and will make a great investment!

How Stacy Helps You Be the Smartest, Savviest Homeowner
You can Be!



Yay, you've made it into the homebuyer club, welcome on in! You're likely really happy the whole homebuying process is finally over! Take a moment to pat yourself on the back for making it this far. It's quite the accomplishment!

I can still remember what it felt like when we bought our first home. It was so exciting, but also a bit terrifying that this house was now OUR responsibility. Not only to make our monthly mortgage payments, but also to maintain it and purchase all the home essentials we needed. Laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, trash cans, shower curtains, towels...the list seemed to never end! Not to mention all the fun decor items and furniture I wanted to buy to make our house a home. 

I quickly realized we needed to pace ourselves and stick to a budget. Now as a real estate agent, I'd like to share this wisdom along with all the other things I've learned over the last two decades as a homeowner with my article, 20 Homeowners Survival Tips

First-Time Homeowner

It covers everything from keeping a Home Manual for your home with receipts from service calls, to keeping a realistic pace and budget for buying things you need for your home, all the way to ways to cut your utility costs and making sure you have enough homeowners insurance coverage. I also talk about the common tools every homeowner should have on hand as well as DIY projects you can tackle on your own, and ones that would be a good idea to call an expert for.

THINKING ABOUT UPDATING YOUR HOME?

MY SIGNATURE HOMEOWNER'S CONSULTATION CAN GUIDE YOU

How does it work? It starts with a casual conversation! 

I’ll ask questions about your home renovation goals and I can help you know what projects will likely give you the biggest return on your investment and ones you may want to skip altogether. I can also tell you what buyers are looking for if you’re thinking about selling anytime in the next few years.

Case in point, granite countertops were the countertop of every buyer’s dream for years! Now, marble is all the rage, and will probably change again in 5 years’ time.

I’ll also help guide you with all the many financing options out there for home renovations much as I did when you went through the mortgage application process when you purchased your home.

There are many options apart from having cash-on-hand to make these updates including cash-out refinances (that may or may not be a good idea depending on your current interest rate, and the one you’d likely get), as well as tapping into your equity with a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit.

There are even options if you don’t have a lot of equity just yet but have some major renovations to do. One loan program in particular will actually use the future value of your home once the renovations are completed when determining how much you can borrow now.

I can also give you some recommendations for contractors and other professionals that can help with your home renovations and even questions you should be asking to find the right one for you!

So, whether you’re looking to make some minor updates to major renovations, let’s start with a casual conversation now. You’ll be better prepared and know exactly what to do to reach your home renovation goals and have a plan to move forward!

Check out my "Homeowner Highlights" weekly email that contains all the MUST KNOW information when owning a home. My philosophy is that my job is not done even after my clients purchase their first home because at some point down the road, they may want to sell their home. My goal is to ensure that they get top dollar when they do sell by keeping it well maintained in the first place. So when we put their home on the market, there will be little to no repairs or updates needed! Which means MORE MONEY in their pocket at closing and why I make such a big point to educate my first-time homeowners with everything they should know and do to be the smartest, savviest, homeowners they can be!
