I’ve seen short-term rentals take off, and I’ve seen short-term rentals sputter, fizzle, and burn in just a few months. The difference between the two? 🤔

Informed owners who get customer service and have realistic expectations 💡

Wonder if this is you? Do you…

Know the market and target audience?
Have a well-maintained, CLEAN, and appealing property?
Understand how to market your property in a sea of others?
Have a user-friendly and professional rental process?
Take reviews to heart and make adjustments to maximize profitability and guest satisfaction?

Want to talk more? Message me to find out how I can help you succeed in the short-term rental game this spring and summer! ☀️

2023 home design trends I can`t get enough of this spring! 🎨🏠

Here`s what Jenny with @hellomillerdesign has to say:

→ Warm wood cabinetry
→ Range alcoves
→ Marble backsplashes
→ Traditional detailing
→ Functional back kitchens (aka pantries)

And from me, I love so much of what I’m seeing right now. So warm and inviting. Makes me want new! 🤔 When in doubt, I always visit @caliberhomes for my inspiration and you should too.

So, you`re finding it tough to get your offers accepted? 🥹

The truth is sometimes, it Is the nature of the market. But sometimes, it may be you. Here are some of the reasons your offer may not be getting accepted...👉🏼

You can’t control everything, but for the things you can, you absolutely should. And in this market, the name of the game is flexibility, compromise, and preparation. If you need an agent who can help you strike that balance, slide into my DMs - I`d love to chat! 📲

Have you seen this yet? 👀

This daylight finished lower level ranch is stunning with vaulted ceilings and customized for all the things you would want 🤩

If you were building from a larger pantry for more storage and then you put in on large lot that provides privacy... that is just so hard to come by in this price point ✨

Also over 2,800 sqft backing up on a pond on .5 acre lot 🙌🏽

📍2401 NW 41st St in Ankeny is listed at $465K with 4 beds and 3 baths

This is your reminder that you *DON`T* have to jump on board with every home design trend you see — especially if you don’t love it 🙅🏼‍♀️

Way more important than what’s trending is that your home reflects your style AND lifestyle. (And let’s be honest, who has the time or the budget to change things up every time a trend comes along?)

That said, there are a few styles I’m loving this spring in homes and on store shelves. Here are a few that caught my eye that would be easy-peasy to fold into your home if the mood strikes 👉🏼

Have you struggled to keep up with the flood of home design trends? My advice? Pick one you love, and give it a try. You don’t have to go all out or break the bank to keep your home fresh, updated, and perfectly you.

Pssst: you’ll want to save this post for later 👇

Staying calm and focused when buying and selling can be as simple as rehearsing why you started this journey in the first place and what you know to be true in your life right now 🤍

When I see clients feeling out-of-sorts, I love the chance to share affirmations like these. Go on. Say them out loud, ok?

Have you bought or sold a house in the past year or two? What mantra helped you stay grounded and at ease start to finish? Drop it in the comments! 👇🏼

Gentle reminder today that curb appeal makes all the difference when selling your home 🏡

You know the curb appeal trifecta: mulch, seasonal color, and a pressure-sprayed driveway. But you`re gonna need to add these three if you want to level up your outdoor game 👉🏼

Time to get to it! And, of course, save this post for later, or reach out if you want to talk about what’s happening in your neighborhood market this February! 😊📲

Alright, it’s time to talk staging. For the love, people, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing 🙃

So often, sellers don’t even try to stage their homes because 1) they feel like it’s too much work, 2) they don’t know how, or 3) they don’t want to hire a professional.

And to be honest, this is something I struggle with myself. I can be all or nothing on LOTS of things. But thankfully, staging isn’t one of them.
