jilliannoellerealtor Don’t run every idea through the filter of: “What will they think?” “Will this sound too bold?” “Will they roll their eyes?” “What if they say something unkind?” So ask a better question: What if someone needs to hear this? What if it helps them speak up, show up, try again? Because the truth is, people will judge you whether you play small or go big, whether you stay quiet or speak clearly. So you might as well live fully. Say the thing. Take the leap. Let your work and your words be seen. There’s always someone who won’t get it but there’s also someone who’s waiting for the exact reminder you’re carrying. Save this for the days when self-doubt gets loud or send it to someone who needs the nudge today. You’re allowed to be seen. Fully. Freely. On purpose.🩷 #weatherfordtx #weatherfordtexas #weatherford #homesforsaletexas #homesforheroes #parkercountytexas #santo #granburytexas #granburytx #fortworthtexas

jilliannoellerealtor Since NAR began tracking the data in 1985, single women have consistently outpaced single men in purchasing homes. 💪🏼🏡 Even with the challenges of earning lower incomes on average and being more likely to raise children on their own, single women buyers are making it happen. This trend highlights not only the determination and resilience of women but also their confidence in homeownership as a path to stability and wealth-building. ✨ Year after year, women are proving that the dream of owning a home isn’t just attainable—it’s a priority worth fighting for.

jilliannoellerealtor 👉🏼 Being pre-approved isn’t the same as being truly ready to buy a home. WAIT, what? If you want to avoid surprises, stress, or stretching your budget too far—you need to have these 4 money conversations with your lender before house hunting: ❓ What’s my all-in monthly payment at different price points? Don’t just look at the loan amount—ask for estimates that include taxes, insurance, HOA, and mortgage insurance (if applicable). That $600K house may feel affordable… until you factor in everything else. ❓ How much cash do I actually need to close? This isn’t just your down payment. You’ll also need to cover closing costs (2–5% of the purchase price), prepaid expenses, and possibly reserves. Ask for a full breakdown so you’re not scrambling later. ❓ Can I use seller credits to reduce upfront costs or buy down my rate? In many cases, you can ask the seller to cover some costs—or apply those credits to get a better interest rate. But you need to know how that works before you start writing offers. ❓ What happens if rates change before I close? Some lenders offer float-down options or early rate locks. Others don’t. Ask how your lender protects you from rate increases—and what happens if they drop. 📍 The more you know now, the smoother your buying process will be later. If you’re not having these conversations, you’re not as ready as you think. ✨ Save this for when you’re ready to buy—but call me first! #buyingahome #buyingahouse #firsttimehomebuyer #weatherfordtx #fortworthhomes

jilliannoellerealtor You know your Parker County home better than anyone else — upgrades you’ve made, how well it’s been maintained, etc. So, don’t just take an appraisal at face value. Especially if you know your home is worth more. If you think the appraisal you received on your home is too low, challenge it! Here are 8 steps you can take to appeal it. 🔸 Request a copy of the appraisal report, otherwise, you won’t have access to it. 🔸 Check every detail, there could be very obvious mistakes that the appraiser unintentionally made but didn’t thoroughly check through. 🔸Contact your lender and request a value appeal, but make sure you can substantiate any claim with evidence. 🔸 Provide updated comparative sales. 🔸 Make sure there are no missing permits: If you’ve made additions or improvements to your home and didn’t get building permits you might have an issue with its value because an appraiser cannot consider the improvements in the appraisal if they’re not permitted. 🔸 Make upgrades and improvements clearly known to the appraiser. 🔸 Make sure your agent meets with the appraiser to help communicate the supporting data, such as comps and improvements. 🔸Appeal an appraiser who doesn’t know the area.
