Buying a home is a huge commitment and some people start the process without knowing what they’re getting themselves into. The process can be exciting, overwhelming, and stressful, but I’ve come up with a list of typically asked questions and answers that should aid you through your house hunting journey.
In the real estate world, the winter months are considered “off season.” One of the most common assumptions when searching for your dream home is that buying a home during the holidays is a bad idea. However, this is often a myth, and there are a lot of benefits associated with buying during the holidays. Take a look at some of the reasons I’ve come up with on why buying a home during the holidays is actually a good idea.
The unprecedented Coronavirus has brought many challenges for companies, industries, and families all over the world. Stories, rumors, and reports associated with the virus have brought many forms of miscommunication, especially for the real estate world. Much of this has led to misleading concerns for buyers and sellers and has caused them to second-guess decisions when pursuing real estate.
In order to sort through this information, I am debunking four myths that have been circling amidst the pandemic.
When Dustin and Samantha first bought their house as a newlywed couple, it was the perfect starter home. However, 6 years, 1 dog, and 2 kids later, that starter home wasn’t quite cutting it anymore.

If you’ve ever had a conversation about whether you want to rent or buy a home, you are not alone! Believe it or not, I often get people who ask me if buying a home is really worth it. Especially when it comes to first time home buyers or people who are just moving into the area, buying a home is a big step and renting feels like the safer option.
And to be completely honest with you, there’s no go-to answer. There are pros and cons of both renting and buying, and I always encourage my clients to look at both sides, gather the facts, and make an informed decision.
Summer is finally here and I’m so looking forward to the sunshine, pool days, and ice-cold lemonade! Summer is also one of the busiest seasons in the real estate world. The long days and short nights mean there’s more time for house shopping. Plus, because people tend to make transitions during the summer, there are usually more available houses and more eager buyers.
So, if you’re considering selling your home, or have casually been browsing Zillow for months, now is the perfect time to actually jump in.
Here are a few reasons why summer is the perfect time to buy and sell a house.
When it comes to home ownership, fire safety is something no one should take lightly. With each of my clients, I want to make sure they have the best information, and are prepared in the best ways possible when it comes to preventing fires. Because of the Oklahoma winds, it’s easy for fires to spread quickly, and unfortunately I’ve seen too many news stories of homes being devastated by fire.
