Virtual Solar workshop 6/16

This is likely the LAST residential solar workshop to be offered in time to leverage the federal 30% tax credit before it is rescinded 1/1/26. Solar vendors are expected to be very backlogged with installation requests through 2025. Empower yourself with knowledge now, and get your solar journey started soon enough to get on the installation queue!

What is “Real Estate Season?”

While you can successfully sell a home at any time of the year, there is a distinct advantage to listing your home during real estate season, which results in more offers & measurably higher net profit. So what is real estate season, & why should homeowners be motivated to sell in this timeframe? 1) Speed of transaction, 2) ease of transaction, 3) backup offers, & 4) higher net profit.

To understand real estate season, think like a buyer. If you had to move, when would you want to do that? When the weather is likely to be favorable. When school is out. When your friends & family are more likely to help you because school is out & weather is good. Buyers want to move in June/July/beginning of August. Therefore, they need to get into contract in May/June/early July.

Statistically, there are significantly more buyers in spring/early summer. I define real estate season as the first weekend after tax day (when buyers can focus on real estate after taxes are done) through the 3rd weekend in July (which I call ‘Hail Mary weekend’). More buyers = more offers = competitive bidding = higher net profit. More offers also = backup offers & added security that you will sell, & sell quickly.

Don’t stress if you’re not ready. Real estate season is a 14-week window. I’m here to help you manage the hard stuff.

Proud to support Arts

I’m grateful to live in a community that has an active arts council, and proud to support the Gahanna Area Arts Council. GAAC provides incredible community events like the CJO concert at Headley Park. Every year this event gets better, bigger, and more exciting!

As a REALTOR®, I have helped many musicians find or sell a home. Helping musical buyers is especially fun, as I know they may have special considerations like hallway width, acoustics, storage, and room to record.

I’m pleased to support the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and encourage you to check out their incredible education program for students & adults! In 2023, I took their beginning jazz voice class and enjoyed it very much! My son has played in their Youth Jazz bands, and learned amazing repertoire from fantastic band leaders.

Artists, call me to buy or sell. Lets talk shop and dream big! 614-383-8379
