Last week I talked to a friend of a friend about buying his first home. It's one of my favorite Real Estate conversations to have. The excitement is real, and contagious, and I love being a (huge) part of this journey. You can only buy your first home once after all! I'd like to buy a house Andrea. I have paid off most of my debt, I have been saving up money but I don't know what my first step should be. I have never done this before. Where do I begin? I am so glad you asked!

accredited buyers agent in silver spring md: You can't get the house when you don't make the offer
- 03/04/21 07:14 PM
Dear Maryland Home Buyer, please make the offer! Sincerely, this listing agent. For a split second I was contemplating publishing just these words today because it is the very advice I'd like to shout from my virtual rooftop. The busier the Real Estate market in Silver Spring and beyond has gotten, the more phone calls I have received on my listings from buyers' agents asking me if they should even bother because they didn't want "to waste time". Whose time, you ask?! I'll let you answer that one. Dear Maryland Home Buyer, that is not how you get the house! When I represent buyers, I, too, … (17 comments)
accredited buyers agent in silver spring md: Can you still show me this Silver Spring home for sale?
- 04/07/20 05:02 AM
Most home buyer FAQs I have answered on the blog over the last decade or so have centered around earnest money, inspections, document reviews, and writing a winning offer. The number 1 questions currently: Are we still allowed to look at homes for sale? Can you still show me this Silver Spring property? The short answer is: yes, we are! yes, I am! The long answer is much more complex. Let me explain. Residential Real Estate is one of the essential industries, and rightly so, shelter is one of our most basic needs. There are always people on the move, people who need a home … (10 comments)

- 02/17/20 03:32 PM
One of the perks of being a REALTOR® in Silver Spring, MD and beyond is definitely the beautiful homes I get to tour with my buyers. Some just make you happy, others inspire, and many showcase the love that lives there. We can feel the warmth as soon as we enter, we can hear the laughter, and imagine the family gatherings around the dining table. Home, it's where we get to paint with the colors of our soul. Home, it's our sanctuary, and our safe place. But not all houses are happy homes. Sometimes, I see properties that render me speechless. Sometimes, … (6 comments)

accredited buyers agent in silver spring md: Once a fitness instructor. Now a REALTOR®. Always your cheerleader.
- 10/22/19 08:12 AM
I love to work out, a lot, and pretty much daily. My earliest memories of myself exercising are the jogs my dad took me on as a wee one. And I am still running... Besides running I also have a few strength classes firmly (well, as firmly as is possible for a busy REALTOR® and soccer mom) scheduled into my weekly agenda. I wholeheartedly believe that regular me-time, pursuing my passions and doing my body and soul good, help me become the best version of myself. It helps me be a better mom, daughter, friend, and REALTOR®. I get the best ideas … (17 comments)
