Maryann Spady, Realtor

Summer is genuinely one of the most competitive times to buy in and around Hillsboro.
And I don’t say that to stress you out — I say it because I want you to actually get the house.

So here’s what I need you to know before you start doom scrolling Zillow at midnight

One — the good ones are gone by Monday. Not exaggerating. If you’re not pre-approved and ready to move when something hits, you’re just watching someone else buy your house.

Two — sellers have stuff going on too. Summer closings often mean tight timelines — vacations already booked, school starting, a job change already in motion. When I know what a seller needs, I can help you write an offer that works for them without you having to pay more. That’s the stuff that actually wins.

Three — a bidding war does not mean the house is perfect. It means the price and location hit a lot of people’s checklist at the same time. You still get the inspection. Please. I’ve seen what happens when people skip it and it is not fun for anyone.

Summer buying is totally doable. You just have to go in with your eyes open and someone in your corner who’s going to tell you the truth even when it’s not what you want to hear.

If buying this summer is on your radar, shoot me a DM. Let’s figure out if you’re ready and what the plan looks like.

Holy $hit friends how is it May already????

I suppose when you spend two weeks of April recovering from gluten exposure the month just flies by.

I’m on the mend, and here to bring you your Monthly Homeowner Checklist, where to go and get some peonies since it’s peony season, your monthly bucket list and a short recap of what happened in real estate last month.

I truly hope that you enjoy it and can make it out to Peonies at Glencoe when they open. They’re so nice, and their field is stunning.

Anyway, save this post, and be sure to share it with your friends.
