An agent absolutely has to write the offer the buyer wants to write. Even if that agent also has the house listed. In this situation, the listing agent was also working with the buyers and wrote an offer that was $45,000 under asking price. And the question was basically: “Is

A couple weeks ago I heard an appraiser say something that honestly surprised me. She said she does not like using for sale by owner homes as comparables whenever possible. And when I asked why, her answer was simple. Because they often sell for less than they should. Now, I

You might get some crap from people about doing inspections on a brand new build. Do them anyway. I do not care if the house was finished yesterday. You absolutely should inspect new construction. And honestly? This is one of the biggest reasons you should still have your own

cacheymom Someone can hear something completely different than what was actually said. And THAT is exactly why I hate verbal offers. I am completely against them. Especially in Wyoming, where verbal offers do not hold water legally. Everything should be in writing. The initial

My favorite contractor and I argue about flooring all the time. If we cannot have hardwood floors, what should we use? I vote for luxury vinyl planking through almost the entire house. He still likes carpet in bedrooms. So on this house we compromised. Three bedrooms got luxury

Every single house has a limitation. Every one. Maybe the kitchen is small for the size of the house. Maybe there is no garage. Maybe there are not enough bathrooms. Maybe it backs to a busy road. Maybe the location is not ideal. Every house has something buyers have to mentally

If a seller accepts a contingent offer, does the house automatically go pending? Not necessarily. It completely depends on how the contingency is written in the contract. One version, which honestly is less common, is when the buyer writes the offer contingent upon selling AND

If you are thinking about moving to Wyoming, a lot of people start by asking the wrong questions. They ask about the snow. The wind. Whether there is a Costco. And listen… those things matter. But they are not what determines whether this move actually works for your life. The

How many counteroffers is too many? Honestly, I think a lot of people give up too early. I am absolutely the queen of counteroffers. Because if a seller does not love an offer and they do not already HAVE a better one sitting there… Why reject it? Counter it. And I tell my

This is by far the easiest way to sell your current house and buy another one. And honestly, it is not always the most convenient way emotionally, but it is usually the least stressful financially. This seller put their house on the market and waited until it went under contract

An agent friend of mine just texted me and said: “Alicia, I’m about to break your cardinal rule.” And honestly, I had to stop and think about what my cardinal rule even was. Apparently it is verbal offers. Because I absolutely hate them. I will present them because my job is to

I could not have planned this better myself. I got a voicemail from someone who saw one of my listing videos on TikTok and wanted to schedule a showing immediately. And this is exactly why I make multiple walkthrough videos for every single listing. Not one video. Multiple.

Here is why doing your homework before moving to Wyoming matters so much. In over 22 years of doing real estate, the people who struggle the most after moving here are almost always the people who did not research what life here is actually like. The people who thrive here? They

|MiddleTNRealtor Lately y’all have been arguing nonstop in my comments about whether houses are overpriced or not. And honestly? It is really hard to judge a house without understanding the specific market it is in. Because every market behaves differently. For example, in

This might honestly be my favorite galley kitchen ever. Usually galley kitchens feel tight or lack storage. Not this one. This kitchen has cabinets everywhere, tons of counter space, and so much personality without feeling overwhelming. One of the biggest trends right now is

Wyoming winters are not hard for the reason most people think. People assume the entire state shuts down every time it snows. That is not what happens. People still go to work. Kids still go to school. Stores stay open. Life keeps moving. But here is the difference: If you are

I was reminded again today at an open house that a lot of people believe out of state buyers are the ONLY reason home prices have gone up in Wyoming. And honestly, that is just not true. Are people moving into Wyoming? Absolutely. People have been moving here forever. But people
