You don’t need to fix everything before selling. You don’t need to fix everything before selling. Save yourself time and money. I recently met with a seller who was convinced they had to replace all of the damaged screens in their home and paint some trim around the house. They listened to me and didn’t bother. Guess what? The buyer didn’t care either. Instead we did a little paint and called it a day. 🎯 Just because you think it needs to be fixed, doesn’t mean it will hinder your home sale. Know when to fold ‘em! #viennava #homesaleadvice
Let's talk roof maintenance. A lot of people ask m Let's talk roof maintenance. A lot of people ask me how and when you know your roof needs to be replaced. I'm not a roofer, but here are some tips I share with clients: 1️⃣ Get your roof inspected when you buy the home. A roofer will be able to look at shingles, flashing, etc and tell you life expectancy better than anyone else. They'll also tell you what you might be able to do to prolong the life of your roof. 2️⃣ Seal any exposed nails! This is one of the easier roof maintenance items to prolong the life and avoid leaks. All nails are penetration points and are therefore weak spots. Putting some sealant on the nails is usually cheap but worth doing. 3️⃣ Check for leaks - not just on your ceiling but pop your head into the attic every once in a while and see if any sheathing looks discolored or wet if it's raining. 4️⃣ Caulk the flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, solar panels, etc. Basically anything that's attached or goes through your roof is a pentation point and should be watched. 5️⃣ Clean all debris off the roof (think branches), and cut back anything touching or over having your roof - tree limbs, ivy, bushes, etc. If you need a guy, I got a guy. Never hesitate to ask! #YourAgentForLife #ViennaVA #RoofMaintenance #HomeMaintenance #DIYHomeRepair

The secret is no secret at all. It’s impossible The secret is no secret at all. It’s impossible to time the market. Are we at the top? Are we at the bottom? Are we in the middle? Nobody really ever knows until it’s over. Hindsight is 20 20 for a reason. It rates go down - refinance If prices go down, stay longer. Or rent it. The best time to buy is when you’re ready. The best time to sell is when you’re ready.

When Oktoberfest got cancelled, many restaurants w When Oktoberfest got cancelled, many restaurants were stuck with extra food they ordered to sell at the event. Rather than let that go to waste, I was so happy to be able to bring pizzas from @tonysnypizza to both @viennaes_vikings and Louise Archer today to surprise the staff. I want to give a shout out to Lorenzo for going above and beyond and returning from his delivery with 2 gluten free pizzas so everyone would be included! 👏🏻 Thanks as always to @viennavafoodies for finding ways and reminding us to support local! #givewhereyoulive #teachersareheroes #pizza
