Celebrate our Independence Day at Freedom 4th in Albuquerque!

by Sandi Pressley


We hold our nation’s Independence Day and our freedom sacred in our country and the city of Albuquerque shares in that spirit with their Freedom 4th celebration at Balloon Fiesta Park!

This highly energetic, patriotic event takes place on Tuesday, July 4th from 3:00 – 10:00 pm. It is a family-friendly event that is a crowd pleaser in all aspects. Get ready for boot stomping live music, fantastic local food and drinks, kids activities and more.

Starting at 4:30 the kids will be treated to the FUN ZONE! This will include inflatable jumpers, climbing walls, face painting, games and more. This is the same time that the Food Trucks will begin serving, and you won’t want to miss a single one. Many of Albuquerque’s local favorites will be onsite and features include burgers, turkey legs, roasted corn and more.  Kids can even grab a snow cone to cool off, while adults can help themselves to a variety of beverages. You may also bring your own food and drink- just be sure you don’t have any glass bottles, and bringing alcohol into the park is prohibited.

The live music at this year’s event is second to none. Headliner Lindsay Eli will be preceded by The Fabulous Martini-Tones, Austin Van, and Divino!

The night will culminate with an amazing firework show to light up the sky at 9:15 pm.

Parking can be reserved in advance, and Park and Ride buses will be providing transportation from  Cottonwood & Coronado Malls beginning at 3:00 pm & ending at 7:30 pm, with return trips leaving at the end of the fireworks show up until 11:00 pm.

It’s going to be a phenomenal day to be at the park & to celebrate the 4th of July! Put on your best patriotic gear, grab your family and friends and head out to the park for some great family fun.

Summer Selling Tips for your Albuquerque Home!

by Sandi Pressley



Summertime is always a great time to sell your home, but it doesn’t mean you forego any attention to the details. You want potential home buyers to feel welcome and to be able to visualize your space as their own. But first and foremost, your home needs to make an amazing first impression.  Here are some tips to ensure you make a SPLASH when you enter the marketplace.

  • Make curb appeal top of mind. Summer is a great time to showcase your landscaping, flowers, and outdoor features. Make sure your exterior is well cared for, weeded, plants watered, and your porch is inviting.
  • Highlight your outdoor living space. If you have a patio, deck, pool, or backyard, make sure they are clean and well-maintained. Your outdoor area is a natural extension of your living space, so you don’t want to miss highlighting this extra area. Add some cozy elements such as cushions, lanterns, string lights, blankets, flowers and more to make it your own & inviting to your guest.  
  • Address home repairs before listing your home. Buyers will be more picky in the summer when there is more competition. What that means to sellers is that you need to go through you home with a discerning eye. Room by room take notes on everything that needs to be fixed and start working at it. If you need larger fixes such as HVAC, roof, plumbing, or electrical, always speak with your real estate agent before making the changes. Many times they have resources at their disposal that can help you get the job done quicker, at a financially sounder price to meet your needs. Their partnerships in the market afford them special pricing and preferential treatment in home repairs. They will also ensure you are making the necessary improvements or upgrades needed to sell your home at the optimal price.
  • Get your windows sparkling clean. Nothing brightens up a home and brings in natural light like clean windows. Give your windows a thorough washing, both inside and out, and let that sunshine in to really show off your home.
  • Repaint, touch up and replace. A fresh coat of paint can make a big difference in how your home looks and feels. Choose neutral colors that appeal to most buyers and complement your furniture. Touch up any scuffs or marks on the walls, doors, or trim. Replace any outdated or broken fixtures, hardware, and appliances.
  • Replace linens. Summer is a hot season, so you want to make your home feel cool and comfortable. Swap out heavy blankets, curtains, and rugs for lighter fabrics and colors. Use cotton sheets, airy curtains and natural fibers to create a light, cool, and breezy vibe.
  • Rearrange furnishings. You want to make your home look spacious and inviting, not cramped and cluttered. Remove any excess furniture or items that take up too much space or block the flow of traffic. Always try to arrange furniture to showcase the best features of your home and each room. Also try to create cozy conversational areas within each room.  
  • Go green. Adding some plants and flowers to your home can bring some life and color to your space. Choose plants that are easy to care for and don’t need too much water or sunlight. Cacti are an excellent option, not only for our area, but maintenance in general!  Another great idea is to use fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables as décor in your kitchens and dining areas.

At the Sandi Pressley Team our incredible team works with you hand in hand to ensure your home is not only ready to make it’s debut to the market, but will bring in the qualified home buyers that you are looking for. Targeting the buyers that are looking for your type of home, in the neighborhood you’re in with the surrounding amenities.

When you’re ready to put your SOLD plan into action, let us know!

The Top 10 Features Buyers are Looking for in a Home Right Now?

by Sandi Pressley

 

It’s National Home Buyer’s Month and today we’re going to look at the top features buyers are looking for in a home right now. As homeowners look to update or improve their homes, possible for a sale down the road, it’s important to not only look at your current needs, but what will be a selling point to home buyers. It’s what will ‘add value’ to your home at the sale. Below are the Top 10 Features most wanted today:

  1. Laundry Room- 87% of today’s buyers put this at the top of their list. Even if you have a small space, a fresh coat of paint, shelves & a hanging unit, along with a folding table can create a lovely area.
  2. Exterior Lighting- Maximizing our outdoor living space is a natural extension of our overall square footage, and a beautiful way to incorporate our stunning outdoor landscape. The use of great exterior lighting not only beautifies the area but gives way to greater hours being spent outdoors. PLUS, what a way to accent the area for buyers!!
  3. Energy-Star Windows- More and more home buyers are putting the focus on energy savings. Investing in Energy efficient windows is one of the best returns on your investment you can make. Whether YOU plan to live in the home for years to come, or you’re looking to sell, this is a GREAT investment.
  4. Patio- Whether you have a small or large yard, home buyers look for a yard with a patio and this is one investment that will not only pay off, but does add that outdoor living space to your home as well. This doesn’t just need to be a cement patio either…have some fun!  Patio’s today come in all shapes, sizes, and elements. They can become a true work of art in your yard.
  5. Walk-in Pantry- I don’t know about you, but I think this is every homeowner’s and buyers’ dream. An organized pantry for food, oversized countertop appliances, stock-up food purchases, wine fridge and more. The time it saves each and every day from looking for items to putting things away is worth it on its own. Personally, I’d put this at the top of my list!
  6. Side-by-Side Kitchen Sink- Are you surprised? Most people are ready for that statement to say Farmhouse kitchen sink, however, most buyers are looking for side by side’s as they feel they are far more functional.
  7. Energy Star Appliances- This really goes without saying. As we are all conscience about money saving, and the effect of our choices on the environment, we look for energy-saving appliances wherever and whenever possible. Upgrading these in your home is an excellent return on investment if you plan to convey the appliances with the sale of your home.
  8. Full Bath on the main living area. Many floor plans include a half bath on the main floor/living area. Today’s home buyers are actually looking for a full bath on the main level, making it much easier and accessible for overnight guests.  If you are looking to update your home, considering a full bath on the main level could be a game changer when it comes time to sell. It would certainly separate your home from others on the market.
  9. Hardwood Flooring- Not surprising at all. This has been, and remains, one of the highly-sought-after flooring elements in a home and a home buyer top 10 for a long time. One big tip- buyers like the real deal. Laminate and vinyl varieties won’t garner the same reaction that actual hardwood will. While they are more durable and lasting, actual hardwood is still the gold standard.

10.Full front porch! Who says the days of sitting on your front porch and chatting with the neighbors is in the past?!  Today’s home buyers are still yearning for the wonderful front porch nostalgia of yesteryear. Now we’re not talking about the ‘old-time’ façade, although we still love that era, todays front porch is functional, beautiful in design, and has stunning curb appeal. Plus, it gives you another natural extension of your living space and neighborhood entertainment area.

Excited to get started on your HOME BUYING journey? We’re excited to partner with you!  Call or email us today to get started.

The Home Buying Process

by Sandi Pressley



It’s National Home Buying Month so it only makes sense for us to review the home buying process. For many would be home buyers, the excitement builds so high in anticipation of purchasing your home that you may jump over some of the important aspects needed before you begin your search. We’ll outline those here, so you are sure to have success in not only finding your perfect home but securing it as well.

  1. Finding the best Real Estate Agent/Team for you. Partnering with a strong, knowledgeable local real estate agent/team who understands your personal situation and needs and has a strong team of individuals and resources at their disposal to help provide all the tools necessary to secure your perfect home is essential in the home buying process. At the Sandi Pressley Team we have ALL those and more. Our relationships in the community, with lenders, attorneys, home inspectors, contractors, etc, allow us to provide you with all the individuals necessary to make your dream home a reality while leveraging our substantial real estate experience and expertise.
  2. Getting Pre-Approved for your Home Loan. This is critical in the market today. Not only will the lender let you know how much you are able to afford, but the pre-approval will also let the seller know you are serious about purchasing their home and consider your offer seriously. Buyers not pre-approved will often not have their offers considered, as pre-approved buyers have the upper hand. This can cause you to lose out on the home of your dreams. Remember, you don’t want to make ANY large purchases, or make changes to your financial picture during the home buying process.
  3. Start looking at homes that meet your requirements with your real estate agent!  This is such a fun and exciting time. Make sure your list of wants and needs is clearly defined. You’ll also want to have a list of what you may be willing to forego if you find a home that meets most of your needs.
  4. Making an offer on the perfect home. Your real estate agent/team is your fiduciary and will help you craft the optimum offer based on your personal situation, the home price, market conditions and more.  Once accepted, you’ll move into the due diligence phase
  5. Due diligence. This is the phase where you’ll have your inspections and have ample time to remove any contingencies that were placed on the offer you placed. Usually this includes the Home Inspections, Appraisal, and gaining home insurance on the property.
  6. After this date you will receive the final mortgage approval.
  7. Next is the final walk-through of the home you are purchasing. This is done to verify that the condition of the home hasn’t changed and that all repairs and updates have been completed accordingly. This normally takes place 24 hours prior to closing.
  8. CLOSING!!! You get the keys to your new home. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Purchasing a home, whether it’s your first or last, is such an exciting time. And whether you’re a seasoned pro or first-timer, questions always arise. Put our team’s knowledge to work for you. Our vast array of resources is second to none and we’re here to assist you at every step. Ready to MAKE A MOVE?  Contact us today.

Preparing Financially to Purchase a Home

by Sandi Pressley



Congratulations, you’ve decided you’re ready to purchase a home. It’s such an exciting time and you want to dive right into looking at homes, but you need to slow down and prepare accordingly.

Purchasing a home is a big decision and a huge financial step, so you want to make sure you are fully prepared financially to be in a position to get the home you want, and can afford, at the best rates possible.  Of course, if you have an abundance of cash at your disposal and can offer cash for the house, then you won’t need to read further, but for most of us, planning is crucial.

So, let’s break down the process to ensure your success.

  1. Get your finances in order. Make sure you are ready to meet with a lender to get your pre-approval. Check your credit ahead of time just so you know where your credit score stands. You can utilize sites such as Credit Karma or Credit Sesame to get a good overview. If you find issues, it is better to take time to repair those issues before seeing your lender.
  2. Down payment and closing costs- How much have you saved toward your down payment and closing costs?  The more you can put down, the less you need to finance. Thus, making your payments lower each month. You’ll also need to budget for closing costs, which are typically 2-5% of the total cost of the home purchase price.
  3. Getting your Pre-Approval. This is the key. The housing market is tight right now, meaning inventory is low so there are more buyers per home. You need to make sure you are pre-approved for your loan amount- not only so you know exactly what you can spend, but so the sellers know you are serious, qualify for the loan, and can purchase the home. Often buyers who are not pre-approved will not have their offer even considered.
  4. Once you are pre-approved for a home loan, it is very important that you do not make any large purchases or take out any loans, credit cards, etc. You need to keep your credit profile clean and consistent with where it was when approval was made. You’ll want to continue making all payments on current rent, mortgages, car, credit cards, etc on time.
  5. Your real estate agent partner is also your fiduciary in the real estate transaction and is there to protect your interests every step of the way. This is why it is critical to partner with an agent/team that is experienced and knowledgeable in the local market and the field. Small mistakes can be costly ones.

At the Sandi Pressley Team we’re here to help you realize your dream of homeownership and partner with the best lenders, inspectors, attorney’s, appraisers and more in this industry to offer the most complete services to our clients.  Ready to make your DREAM COME TRUE?  Call us today.

What an exciting time! Your moving day is fast approaching, and your excitement level and anxiety is starting to run high. Instead of tackling the organizing, packing, and moving ALL of your belongings on your own, consider the services of a professional moving company. Here’s why:

  1. Professional movers have the know-how, equipment, and efficiency needed to get the job done smoothly and on time. If you need assistance with packing items- especially fragile, collectibles, electronics, etc, they’ll be sure to bring all the necessary supplies to safely pack and secure these items for the move so that you’ll rest easy in knowing they’ll arrive safely to your new destination.
  2. With years of experience and training on their side, professional movers not only have the equipment (dollies, ramps, lifts, and protective devices) to safely move all your belongings from house to truck and house again, they know how to navigate the larger items through narrow spaces, doorways, and trickier layouts of homes. They’ll also wrap larger items like furniture, mattresses, appliances and electronics so nothing is dented or scratched during the moving process.  Giving you much better protection for all your belongings.
  3. Did you know that professional movers keep an inventory of all boxes, furniture, and items they are moving on your behalf? In the chaos of the moving process, it is very easy to lose track of boxes and items. Having a company accountable for your belongings takes a weight off of your shoulders…and you know it will arrive at your new home.
  4. Save your health! That’s right. Do you know how many injuries have happened during the moving process? From sprains to pulled muscles, broken bones and more. Even the simple strain of up and down stairs and lifting heavy furniture can tweak your back or legs and put your out of commission. Why chance an injury or time off work when you can have the professionals handle things for you?
  5. Movers will save you much valuable time and money. If you evaluate the amount of money spent on supplies needed to ready your belongings, truck rental, rental of dollies, lifts, and other accessories, and the sheer amount of time and energy that will go into moving on your own- not to mention the stress factor- you come out ahead using the services of a moving company.
  6. Your family and friends will THANK YOU…and still invite you over for get-to-gathers! All joking aside, it can be difficult to call on family and friends to help with moving. While many will offer their help, or kindly answer YES, it is always a dreaded task for anyone. Plus, utilizing movers allows you time to get to your new home and ready it for the arrival of your personal belongings without the stress and exhaustion of having to do the move yourself.

Enjoy the process of moving into your new HOME! Don’t add in stress and anxiety by doing the entire move yourself. You deserve a break at this joyous time, so take it!
