Testimonial

In this housing market, it is not easy to sell or buy a home.  We were able to do both this year with Kristi's help.  Her communication during the selling, home search, and purchasing processes was clear and constant.  She knows her business, and we appreciated her experience and expertise in real estate.  We closed on both homes without a hitch and are happily settled in our new neighborhood.  Kristi is easy to recommend; we would definitely do business with her again!

Hello,

Spring is in full swing and the real estate market is blooming. If there ever was a year to list or purchase - current economic factors indicate that this is the one!

 

CNN Money says there are four big reasons to list your home now:

 

1) Low Housing Supply - there still is a tight inventory of houses on the market - and those buyers are out looking

2) Fewer Cash Buyers - these are the folks who helped buoy home sales over the last couple years

3) Higher Interest Rates - while interest rates have remained low, the Federal Reserve keeps hinting that higher rates are coming.

4) Rising Rents - rental prices have risen 15% in the past 5 years and income growth has not risen as rapidly. Many are finding it is cheaper to buy than rent.

  

If you have thought about selling - this is the time to do it!

 

In a market like this it is important to price your home properly. I can provide you with a free Real Estate Equity Analysis of your home that will provide the information you need to make a decision about selling.

 

I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.

Call or email me today.

 

Sincerely,  

Kristi Weinstock

How To Get The Fixer Upper Look All By Yourself

Getting the fixer-upper look doesn't mean you have to move to Waco and plunk down $100k on a dumpy pad so you can pour another $100k into it, ripping down walls, ripping up floors, and creating a masterpiece out of a piece of junk. But if you're loving the French country look achieved on HGTV's Fixer Upper every week, we have a few tips about how to DIY your own stuff or found items and turn your place into a Fixer Upper of the best kind. 

Sand something

Sometimes, creating the ultimate piece of furniture isn't necessarily what you put on it, but rather what you take off. Sanding is important when painting or refinishing any piece, but when it comes to creating the perfect piece of French country furniture, it's essential. If you are refinishing a piece and need to start from scratch with a clean surface, here are some sanding tips, courtesy of The Whimsical Wife.
