From one transplant to another
April 23, 2025
Let’s be honest — real estate can feel like a different language sometimes. If you’re not sure what to expect, when things are supposed to happen, or what’s considered “normal,” you are definitely not alone.
The good news? You don’t need to know everything — that’s what your agent (hey, that’s me!) is here for. I’ll walk you through every step and answer all the questions, no matter how big or small.
CALM THE CHAOS CHECKLIST:
☐ Write down every question or worry on your mind — big or small.
☐ Highlight the ones you need answered right now (just 2–3).
☐ Schedule a chat with me so I can answer your top questions — getting clarity is step one.
Buying or selling a home is a big financial decision, and it’s normal to feel a little anxious about the numbers. One of the top 5 real estate anxieties is money worries. From down payments to closing costs to profit margins, there’s a lot to consider.
But once we look at everything together, it all becomes clearer. We’ll create a game plan that fits your comfort zone and goals — no pressure, just real clarity.
CALM THE CHAOS CHECKLIST:
☐ Take 10 minutes to list out your known costs or budget range.
☐ Remind yourself: You don’t need all the answers today — just the next step.
☐ Ask me for a quick breakdown of what costs apply to your situation.
Trying to line up the sale of your home and the purchase of a new one? Or maybe you’re wondering how to manage a move with school, work, or family life in the mix.
Yes, it can feel overwhelming — but there are real strategies to help make the timing work in your favor. With some planning (and a little flexibility), we’ll make it work and figure out together, exactly what you need to do.
CALM THE CHAOS CHECKLIST:
☐ Breathe. Then brain-dump all your to-dos onto paper — no editing, just get them out.
☐ Circle anything that’s truly urgent.
☐ Pick one task you can do in 10 minutes or less. Start there.
One of the top 5 real estate anxieties is decision overload. From choosing the right home to picking a lender, deciding what repairs to make, or navigating offers — it’s a lot. And everyone seems to have advice (some of it helpful… some not so much).
You don’t have to make every decision on your own. I’ll help you sort through the noise and keep you focused on what matters to you.
CALM THE CHAOS CHECKLIST:
☐ Pause. Ask yourself: “What actually matters most to me right now?”
☐ Let go of perfection — aim for progress, not pressure.
☐ Reach out to me to help filter your options (you don’t have to do it alone).
Should I wait?” “Is it the right time?” “What if the market shifts?”
Totally valid questions — and the truth is, no one can predict the future, but we can make smart, informed decisions based on today’s facts. I’ll keep you up to date so you feel confident, not confused.
CALM THE CHAOS CHECKLIST:
☐ Step away from the headlines. Seriously — take a break from scrolling.
☐ Ask me for a simple, local market update (not just national drama).
☐ Focus on your goals, not just “the market.” What do YOU need this move to do for you?
