Homeowner’s insurance — you can’t live without it. (Well, okay, technically you could as it's not required by law, but if you have a mortgage, it’s pretty much a non-negotiable😅).
You gotta buy it anyway, so here are some things to keep in mind when shopping around 👉🏼
Want help or a referral for navigating the insurance process? I’m here. Shoot me a DM! 📲
12. Have you ever wondered what fees buyers pay besides a down payment? 💭 Well, here’s a starting point and estimated costs:
💸Earnest money - 1-2% of the sale price.
💸Closing costs - 3-6% of the home’s value
💸Mortgage origination - 0.5-1% of the loan amount
💸Appraisal and home inspection fee - $300-500 each
💸Credit check - $20-30
💸Title search - $75-200
💸Title insurance - 0.5-1% of the sale price.
If this post has given you a firmer grasp on what to expect, then you might be interested in a buyer consult — a non-committal discussion about your needs, wants, and timeline.
Send me a DM, and we’ll set something up. I look forward to hearing from you!😊📲

Are you thinking about buying a home?
Have questions about the process?
Unsure of where or how to begin?
✨You need a buyer consult ✨
During the consult (AKA you and me having a chat🙂), I’ll break down the process step by step, answer your questions and talk through your concerns, discuss your housing wants and needs, and talk through ways to make your offer shine to sellers.
Ready to get started? I'm here! Send me a DM, and let's find a time to connect 📲

Today our heart is as full as our plate, and it's all because of YOU!
Happy Thanksgiving to the best clients, friends, and neighbors we could ever ask for. It has been the highlight of our year helping you reach your real estate goals.
Enjoy the day with your family and friends, and from my home to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 😊🤎
Good news for all of us this Thanksgiving — cooking well doesn’t mean cooking fancy 👩🏼🍳
To back that up, I thought I share my favorite Thanksgiving recipe. It’s oh-so-simple but melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
🌱 Maple-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Serves 6
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place Brussels sprouts in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup; toss to coat. Sprinkle with bacon; season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and Brussels sprouts are caramelized, about 45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Enjoy — and Happy Thanksgiving! 😊🤎

Not sure what’s gotten into me...
I still do not like snow, the cold is not my friend, but this week I found myself doing snow angels and not just 1!! Fun little competition may have something to do with it. This early snow/cold is making me do dumb things! Stay tuned… ❄️

Of all the expenses that come with buying a home, prepaid costs can sometimes take buyers by surprise. (And while we all love a good surprise, you definitely don't want one in the buying process!🙅♀️). So, here's what to know:
💸Prepaid costs are upfront cash payments you make at closing for various mortgage expenses before they’re actually due. Funds are held in escrow until needed. They include:
▫️ Initial escrow deposit
▫️ Homeowner’s insurance premiums
▫️ Real estate property taxes
▫️ Mortgage interest
Prepaids are separate from closing costs which include the title search, appraisal, and cost of processing the loan.
Curious about what your bottom line would be if you purchased a home? Want to buy but don't want surprises? DM me, and let’s crunch the numbers! 📲

Here’s me going there: There have been times I wanted to throw in the towel as an agent.
Days where all I’ve gotten is “No’s.”
Where I’m staring at piles of paperwork, and all I want to do is connect with people.
Where I felt tired, discouraged, and bummed for clients who missed out on a home.
And after talking to others about this? It made me realize that I am so not alone. Every job, every career, every journey has bumps along the way.
So…
I’m not always going to have it all together.
Times will be hard.
Moments will be tough.
On those days? That’s when I
Stop, breathe, and revisit my “why”
Reread kind notes from happy clients
Reach out to an agent-friend for a pick-me-up
Truth is nothing worth having comes easy, and these moments of feeling low or frustrated are moments of growth and change.
So friend, the next time you have “one of those days,” hold your head up high and just do the next thing. Tomorrow is coming — and chances are things will be looking up 🤍

Is it even possible to feel stuck when you have MORE home than you need? 🤯
Yep, it is. I see it all the time. But today, I want to let you in on five ways you know for sure it’s time to downsize ↓
The good news? Downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading! I’d love to show you your options. DM me, and let’s chat about what you’re looking for 📲

I don't ask for reviews for any other reason except to expand my relationships and help more people, but at the end of the day these will always be reminders of why the early mornings and late nights are still, almost 20 years later worth it.
I do love what I do and most importantly who I work with every day. How I got so lucky to figure it out at such a young age I don't know, but gosh I have been blessed and I don't take any day of it for granted 🤍
✍🏼 Here's a review from my lovely client, Jessica:
"Danielle Seifert is the magician of Des Moines area realtors—in the best way! Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or both, Danielle and her team will work their magic and help you find the home/location of your dreams. Having worked with Danielle several times over the past ten years, I can say that she is exceptionally connected, knowledgable, passionate, and professional. As a bonus, her upbeat, can-do attitude and problem solving prowess takes all the stress out of what can sometimes be an emotionally charged process. Five stars all the way!" 🤍

Dear Harvest Ridge,
I feel like I am in between writing a 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐃, 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐔𝐏 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮 card (whatever that is)😆.
@caliberhomes had a vision and it is reality now. And the cherry on top is the fabulous community that has grown around it.
I just updated the lots available page end of last week and we have 9 left, 𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄!
NE Grant Ct specs are looking amazing with sold signs and available homes are in trim stage. And that is when the details really start to come together! Options backing to the 5 acre pond, walkouts, berms with trees, 2 story great rooms and Oh MY the pantries! Over on Sherman, I have half acre lot with 5 bed plus a 1.2 acre treed lot with the most amazing spec about to start.
I could go on and on and before I get all sappy about this development and what we have worked so hard to create. Geesh I am emotional today! 🙃 Take a look for yourself and then come to an OPEN HOUSE every Sunday (expect Thanksgiving weekend) or give me a call. I would love to show you around 😊

Happy Monday Friends!
Some weekends you set yourself up for a good week and this was one of them. And first off, it has nothing to do with the weather because those of you that know me know this is not my happy season❄️, but we can get through it together (with an occasional vacation to the sun of course 😂).
Anyways, so many good things happening and I just wanted to pop on here this morning and say Hey and go do your thing, don’t listen to the negativity, work hard and we can cheer on each other when goals are met! Maybe on the beach if that’s alright with you! 😂☀️🥂

I have had the fun part of promoting a lot of amazing homes recently and this may be the most PG of the bloopers, but also the most true 😂
There is a lot of pressure to promote these properties in the right way because they are so great and I am such a perfectionist. Cheers to eventually getting the vidoes right and the homes carrying the weight and making me look good... EVERY👏🏽SINGLE👏🏽TIME!👏🏽

I’ve never claimed to love Monday’s, but my clients always seem to come through in one way or another and put an positive exclamation point on them. This one was no exception 🤍
Thankful for the opportunity to create special memories for the Lodden family and their first home in Iowa. We went all out and even captured the sunset! Can’t wait to see the finished product on this Caliber Prairie Trail custom. So much well thought out design between the buyers and the architect team. 🙌🏼 It’s GO TIME!
