Smell is the first of your senses to trigger an emotional response, so it is worth considering how your home smells to guests (p.s., "nose blindness" is real).

What the Smell?
Smell is the first of your senses to trigger an emotional response, so it is worth considering how your home smells to guests (p.s., "nose blindness" is real).

Housing as Health
I've been inspired by Kaiser's plan to invest millions of dollars into developing affordable housing. It's so easy to take our homes for granted, but as the health care provider articulates, "stable housing is essential to good health." Everyone deserves a good home, and this kind of people-centered innovation is something to root for in my book!
Stable Interest Rates, but Rising
If you'll be needing a loan to purchase a home, I've got good news: the Fed is expected to raise its short-term rate only once this year, keeping money relatively affordable in 2019. If you're a buyer, let's talk about getting you connected to a lender, and be sure to touch base with your accountant to consider the tax benefits of home ownership, especially in light of new tax laws.
2019 is the year to make your next real estate move. It's not unthinkable that we will see rates rise to 5.5% in the next couple years, increasing the monthly mortgage on a median-priced home substantially. Now is the time to make a deal for the future.
This month I'm dishing out all my praise to my friend Joelle Robertson, The Creative Coordinator!
Got a big event to get off the ground and don't know where to start? Are you a business owner, creative-type, or about to get hitched and in need of someone to not only hold you and tell you everything is going to be alright, but ALSO elevate your vision and make sure it comes to life without a hiccup? Joelle is the Sacramento creative queen you need!
Joelle's ideas are fresh, her energy is high, and her work speaks for itself. Check her out!

Professional People Person
At the end of the day, that's basically what I am. A friendly Realtor makes sure you get into contract and stay there. Property transactions are emotional processes, and the more you know about your counterpart on the other side of the deal, the more likely you are to close quickly. Put me to work being friendly on your behalf!
