Back in Action!

Some of you may be wondering why I took a little hiatus from real estate. Well.... here's your answer!

Isn't he a cutie?! This is my son, Everett James Crossett. He's just over 3 months old, and is the absolute light of my life! I wanted to take some time to devote solely to him, so I took a few months off, but now I'm back in action! I'm so fortunate that my mom is retired, lives nearby, and is always happy to watch my little peanut when I am out with clients! 





I've been meeting with my first few clients since his birth over the past few weeks, and I'm happy to say that I got my first ratified contract last night! It feels good to get back to work, especially now that I have a little one to provide for. I have always loved my job, but now I do more than ever, since it allows me to be there for my son AND provide for my family financially as well. He motivates me to be both the best mother and the best real estate agent I can!

If you or someone you know is ready to make a real estate investment, I'm the agent for you!

Many people who are fortunate enough to have a finished basement have some sort of room down there that's being used as a guest room. However, when listing a property, many people ask the question, "is this a legal  bedroom?" According to building codes in the state of Virginia, there are several things that are required to answer that question with a "yes!" First, the room has to be of a certain size at minimum. Specifically, it must be at least 70 square feet (or 100 square feet if there are two people living in it), and it must have at least 7 foot ceilings. The room also has to have access to a bathroom, without having to go through another b...

Navigating a Seller's Market

Navigating a Seller's Market With inventory near record lows and interest rates at their highest point in years, you may be thinking now is an impossible time to buy a home. However, while it can certainly be a challenge, it is nowhere near impossible! Even though all signs point to the Fed lowering interest rates this year, we're still likely to remain in a seller's market for the time being. With that in mind, I thought now, heading into the normally busy Spring market, would be a good time to offer some home buying tips for this current environment. So, let's start with the basics: What is a seller's market? In it's most basic sense, the definition of a seller's market comes down to economics 101: Supply and Demand. Right now, there are more people looking to buy a home than there are homes on the market or people interested in selling their homes. For reference, according to market experts, in a balanced real estate market (where there are an equal numbe...
