A statement piece can either make or break a room in your home. I’ve seen it do both. (You’ll just have to trust me on this one.) So, how do you make the right statement and avoid the wrong one? 🤔
Here are a few rules to keep in mind 👉🏼
Got a statement piece you love? Tell me about it in the comments! 😍

After all my years in real estate, I've come to the conclusion that the hardest parts of buying are without a question:
1) Deciding to buy 🗝
2) Asking for an agent’s help 🤝
When it comes to buying a home, my buyers often share that one of the things they appreciate most is the way I break the whole process down step-by-step. Feelings of overwhelm, confusion, and uncertainty? Not on my watch 🙅🏼♀️
Remember this famous quote by Mark Twain? 'The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.'
That's what I'm here for! So once you've checked off #1 and decided it's time to buy, I'll be here to help break down the process for you 😊

Such an honor working with the Kremer family! 🤍
"I was honestly blown away by how amazing Jill was throughout our buying process. She was very responsive to any and all messages I sent. Jill was very knowledgeable about the process and guided us through expertly. When we found ourselves on a time crunch, she used her realtor connections and found us a house that hadn’t hit the market yet that was perfect for us. She helped us through writing the offer and navigating a relocation company that required extra paperwork. She kept us in the loop the whole time and made the whole process as smooth as possible! I could not recommend Jill more. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, you cannot go wrong with her!!" - Molly Kremer
I am so happy that we were able to find the perfect home for you and your family 🤍

There's something you should know... Not all real estate agents are the same!

Someone is 16 today!!!! 🥳🎂🎈Happy happy birthday @tegan.budden ! This day couldn’t come soon enough…and we’re off to get his license!
Dear first-time buyer,
Buying your first home can feel extremely overwhelming. I wanted to send a little reminder that may help when you're feeling down or discouraged ❤️
It's this 👉🏼 Buying your first home is, well, just that — a first home. It’s not your final destination; that’ll come a few years down the road. For now, stay focused on location and keep an open mind; I know great things are up ahead!
And don't forget, I’m here to chat if you need a helping hand or a listening ear. My DMs are always open 😊

Happy birthday to my forever bestie @okojodi , the life of the party EVERY time!! Age is just a number…and YOU keep everyone around you forever young! I hope you have a blast today, full of all your favorite things (sorry I can’t be there) Time goes by and we’re miles apart, but things never change with us…and somehow we still match. 😜 I love you Jod xoxo💋
Did your listing expire? Wondering what happens next? 🤔
Good news — you’ve got options! 🥳
💡Remember, an expired listing is a listing that hasn’t sold by the end of the term stated in the contract with your agent (typically, six months). If this happens to your home, you have several options 👉🏼
For options 1 and 2, your property will have to be relisted and a new listing created on the MLS. Be sure to talk openly with your agent and let him or her know how you’re feeling and what you’d like to do differently as you relist. Don't forget —your agent is there to serve YOU and should work hard to make the process easy and enjoyable!

💥 You don't need an agent to sell your home! 💥
It's true. You don't! You can totally sell your home by owner.
But, before you do... ponder these 👉🏼
I've seen a ton of homeowners leave money on the table by selling without an agent. Agents sell homes for around 26% MORE than FSBO -- completely covering those agent commissions that so many well-intentioned sellers try to avoid.
Tag someone below who needs to hear this!
