Meme of the Week

Someday (possibly years from now) you’ll be wrapping gifts and thinking, ‘Why am I suddenly thinking about my agent?’ And then it’ll hit you… oh yeah, that meme!

Well, if you insist!

Plenty of people pick a doormat that sets the tone — something friendly, funny, or just a hint of personality. So if you walked up to someone’s front door and saw one that said, “Come back with a warrant,” you’d probably assume it was just someone’s quirky sense of humor.

Turns out, one 57-year-old Florida man meant it quite literally when he rolled out a doormat saying just that…

Deputies recently honored the message and showed up at his door to arrest him for allegedly posing as a real estate investor and carrying out a large-scale mortgage fraud scheme. Authorities say he forged ownership documents for multiple properties, took out mortgages, rented the homes out, and never repaid the loans.

Should you create a dedicated home office before selling your house?

You may have noticed that some recent headlines suggest that home offices are a big draw for today’s buyers. Yet other headlines point out that more people are heading back to work in offices.

The truth is, a home office might be the feature that helps your home stand out when selling. But it could also be something your buyer pool doesn’t prioritize at all. As with so many things related to real estate values, there’s no clear-cut answer…

If it’s something you’re debating, check out this recent article I published for a deeper dive into deciding whether or not you should create a dedicated home office before selling.

“How’s the market?”

I get that question a lot, and I’m always happy to
answer it! But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
That’s why this newsletter doesn’t include weekly
stats or price updates.

Besides, most people don’t care about real estate
data until it actually matters to them. So instead
of stats, I just try to keep this fun and
entertaining.

Curious about a specific house? Wonder what your
place is worth? Or just want a quick market
snapshot?

Just hit reply and ask me!

I’m always glad to give you any information,
thoughts, or data you want. (And of course, no
obligation or pressure! I love
any opportunity to talk about the market.)

Being a real estate agent isn’t for everyone; it takes a certain set of skills and personality traits to succeed…

Here’s a fun peek at 10 reasons why Santa has what it takes to be a great real estate agent.
