TUESDAY’S TOP TIP:

Don’t Count Out the Holiday Market!

Think nobody is buying a home during the holidays? Think again.

Some are relocating for new jobs, some need to move closer to family, and others are simply ready for their next chapter.

Here’s something sellers should consider:

1. Holiday buyers are often motivated by a specific timeline.
2. Some sellers choose to wait until January, potentially giving your home more visibility.
3. Buyers who are actively searching during the holidays may have fewer competing options in certain price ranges and neighborhoods.

The key in today’s Austin market isn’t simply putting a sign in the yard. It’s pricing strategically, preparing your home properly, and having a marketing plan that makes buyers pay attention.

You don’t have to wait until spring to make your move.

Thinking about selling? Let’s talk about what your home could realistically sell for in today’s market.

Tuesday’s Top Tip:

What the New Open Real Estate Announcement Means for Buyers and Sellers

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home in the next year, here’s something worth paying attention to.

Yesterday, four major real estate companies, including the parent company of eXp Realty, announced Open Real Estate, a new platform expected to launch in early 2027. The goal is to make listing a home simpler by allowing agents to enter a property once and distribute it to the MLS, major home search sites, and more.

Why does this matter?

More homes are being marketed privately within individual brokerage networks. While that approach can have its place, it can also mean fewer buyers see a home and buyers miss properties they might otherwise consider.

I believe real estate should level the playing field for the consumer. Buyers deserve access to the homes available to them, and sellers deserve the opportunity to reach as many qualified buyers as possible.

Ultimately, this is about creating value and service for consumers, not limiting their options.

Technology will continue to change how real estate works, but the right strategy, professional guidance, and putting your goals first will always matter.

Thinking about buying or selling in Central Texas in the next 12 months? Let’s talk about how to position yourself for the best possible outcome.

Tuesday’s Top Tip:

Thinking higher interest rates mean you have to wait to buy? Not necessarily!

When shopping for a new build home, I can help you ask the builder the right questions about interest rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and included upgrades. These incentives could help lower your upfront costs or make your monthly payment more manageable. Knowing what to ask and how to negotiate can make a difference in the opportunities available to you.

And here’s something many buyers don’t realize: You can benefit from having your own Realtor when buying new construction!

You might think you don’t need a Realtor because the builder has a representative right there to help you. But remember, that representative works for the builder.

As your Realtor, I can help you:

* Explore available inventory, including opportunities that may not be publicly marketed.
* Negotiate incentives, upgrades, and other potential savings.
* Ask the right questions and help you understand the details before you commit.
* Navigate the process with someone looking out for your interests.

Builders recognize that knowledgeable Realtors bring value to the table. We know what to ask, what to look for, and where there may be room to negotiate.

So, if builders recognize the value a Realtor brings, why would you assume you don’t need one?

The right home and the right opportunity may be closer than you think.

If you’re buying or selling this year, there’s something worth knowing about AI.

Yes, I use it too.

It helps me work more efficiently, respond faster, organize information, and make sure follow up doesn’t fall through the cracks.

But here’s the thing, AI doesn’t have a real estate license.

It can’t negotiate your contract. It can’t walk into a showing and read the room. It doesn’t know your family, your situation, or what’s really important to you. And if it gets something wrong, it doesn’t have a license or reputation on the line.

I recently read a great piece in Inman about how agents should be using AI, and one point really stood out to me, the technology has no license to lose. Your agent does.

So if your agent is using AI, ask questions.

How are you using it?
Who reviews the information before it gets to me?
What happens to my personal information?

Those are completely fair questions.

AI can be a great tool. But it should be a tool that supports your agent not replaces the judgment, experience, communication, and accountability you hired them for.

That distinction matters.

It’s the first day of Fall!

It may not feel like fall in Central Texas yet, but even with this record heat, now is a good time to get your home ready for the cooler months ahead.

FALL HOME MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

1. Check Your Pipes
Look for exposed pipes around exterior walls, garages, attics and crawl spaces. Add insulation where needed before our occasional Texas freezes.

2. Winterize Your Sprinklers
Plan to winterize in November or sooner if a hard freeze is expected to help prevent cracked pipes and costly repairs.

3. Clean Your Gutters
Clear out leaves and summer debris and check for loose or damaged sections.

4. Check Your Fireplace
Have your wood burning fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned before you use it for the season.

5. Test Smoke & CO Detectors
Replace batteries and test every detector in your home.

6. Service Your HVAC
A fall tune up can help prepare your heating system and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.

7. Check Windows & Doors
Look for cracked or deteriorating caulk and gaps around windows and doors. Resealing can help keep conditioned air inside and reduce energy loss.

A little preventative maintenance now can help keep your home comfortable, efficient and protected all season long.

And if you need a recommendation for a trusted local service provider, I’m always happy to help.

I’ve noticed something new on listing appointments lately more and more sellers are using ChatGPT to decide how to price their home, negotiate offers, and even figure out what their agent should be doing.

I actually think that’s smart.

But here’s the part AI can’t tell you:

It doesn’t know that 56% of the homes currently for sale in Georgetown have already reduced their price. It doesn’t know what buyers are saying after showings, whether another offer is about to come in, or why one home sold while a similar one sat on the market.

AI is an incredible tool, but it doesn’t have local market insight or real time conversations. That’s where I earn my value.

Use AI to ask better questions. Then work with a REALTOR (fyi… we all aren’t the same) who has the answers AI simply can’t know.

Would you trust AI to help you sell one of your biggest investments, or would you want someone who knows what’s happening in your market every day?
