Staci Russell Realtor

Wake up, it's time to say, "I do," to homeownership!

Your car is full of boxes and you're ready to publicly declare your love and commitment for your home.

It's officially closing time! 💍 Only this time, there's no need to wear a long white dress! Comfy shoes and a hoodie will do, because everyone knows as soon as you're done signing 500 million papers, you're off to unload moving trucks!

Then it's *finally* party tIme! Your reception will consist of you popping the champagne on the porch 🍾 and turning on your favorite playlist in the kitchen as you unbox dishes and set up your new bedroom!

I always refer to the first year in your house as the honeymoon phase. Everything is fun and the little quirks in the house are considered charming. My hope is that your love for your home lasts several years, but unlike a marital commitment, most relationships with homes aren't destined to be together forever.

When life happens and your home needs change, I'll be right here ready to help you find someone new to love your home and search for a new place for you to make memories in!

Because that's what Home Matchmakers, like myself, do! I'm committed to finding the perfect fit for you, as many times as you need!

Let’s be real…you’re didn’t open your IG app today for a market update 😴

You’re probably looking for tips on how to hang garland or for a fool-proof sugar cookie recipe and all things HOLIDAYS 🎅

So I’m not gonna bore you with your typical market update…instead, I’m gonna talk about our favorite Christmas movie characters (and let *them* explain the market instead)! 😉

Buddy the Elf - this is YOU! 🧝Whether you're buying or selling, you're just smiling (because it's your favorite!) and excited to get moving! Some people may think you're a bit naive but, like Buddy, you know what matters most to you and your goals are crystal clear, so keep your eyes on Santa..I mean, the prize!

Clark Griswold - your lender. Your lender is more than a numbers guy/gal. They have their eye on the BIG picture: getting you HOME so you can create fun old fashioned memories with your people and will go to great lengths to get you there! 🎄

Marv and Harry - These guys are the obstacles ❌ Even the smoothest of transactions have at least one obstacle to overcome. Appraisals, inspection issues, title work hurdles...In *most* transactions, there is at least *one*! But like Harry and Marv, the bark is usually a lot bigger than the bite. They can be overcome! It just takes a (battle) plan and the determination of Kevin McCallister!

The Grinch - aka the FEDS 🤪I know, I know, but deep down these guys been burned before and they’re just trying to do what’s best for the market...even if we wouldn't want to touch the current interest rates with a 39 and a half foot pole. Things may stink right now but just like the Grinch can't actually ruin Christmas, the feds can't actually ruin your plans...we may just have to get creative!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - Your friendly agent just trying to light the way 🚨 through the foggy market with a clear sense of direction and contagious optimism. Some people may think I'm crazy to keep shining so bright with all the housing haze, but I'm positive I can lead the way and get you HOME 🏡
