Investing out of state isn’t as hard as you think—if you have the right team. 🏠✈️

Selling in Sommer’s Bend right now is no joke. 🛑 With 23 homes currently on the market, the competition is stiff—especially when so many of the properties are nearly identical. 👯♂️
Marketing is the absolute key to standing out. Of those 23 homes, there were 5 that were almost exact comparables to ours. Those 5 listin…

My client’s spouse drew a line in the sand and killed a major deal last year. Honestly? I was cool with it. 🛑
Last year, this couple almost pulled the trigger on a big multi-unit property. One was all-in (The Visionary), but the other just wasn’t comfortable with the risk (The Implementer). Because they weren't aligne…

Revenge is best served poolside 💦😅
Last time I did the pushing. This time karma showed up with perfect timing.
Worth it though because this backyard is next level. A true resort style setup with a custom pool, baja shelf, swim up bar, outdoor kitchen, and a home that has been upgraded far beyond anything the builder o…

Your roof doesn’t wake up and fail one day…
It fails slowly, quietly, and expensively.
Tiny cracks turn into leaks.
Leaks turn into ceiling stains, mold, and repairs you didn’t budget for.
A roof tune-up stops the damage before it starts.
Save your roof. Save your wallet.

Marketing is the absolute key to standing out. Of those 23 homes, there were 5 that were almost exact comparables to ours. Those 5 listings have been sitting for weeks—some for months.
We hit the market and had a full-price offer accepted in just 7 days. 🥂💥
Why were we able to get it done so fast while the competition is still waiting? We have a specific strategy for a crowded market.
Send us a DM and we’ll tell you exactly how we did it. 📩

Want to know why we never tell clients to "wait for the perfect market?" 🚫📉
Because while most people are sitting on the sidelines waiting for a “sign,” our clients are busy building six figures in wealth.
Two years ago, we helped our clients buy their home using a Seller-Paid Temporary Interest Rate Buydown. It gave them a lower payment on day one while we made our way through a high interest rate environment.
That moment just arrived. Before their buydown even expired, we refinanced their mortgage and saved them a massive $706 a month.
But that’s not even the best part:
Equity Gain: Their home just appraised for $151,000 MORE than what they bought it for (16% appreciation! 📈).
Tax Savings: That equity and strategy allowed us to save them an additional $160/month on property taxes.
The Bottom Line: By not waiting, they put $866 back in their pocket every single month and gained $151k in net worth. 💰
If you’re waiting for the "perfect" time, you’re missing the opportunity to let time work for you. Let’s stop waiting and start planning.

My client’s spouse drew a line in the sand and killed a major deal last year. Honestly? I was cool with it. 🛑
Last year, this couple almost pulled the trigger on a big multi-unit property. One was all-in (The Visionary), but the other just wasn’t comfortable with the risk (The Implementer). Because they weren't aligned, we cancelled the deal.
Fast forward to today: We just mapped out a new out-of-state strategy. This time? They are BOTH on board and excited. 🚀
It reminded me of the book Rocket Fuel that @thetimstout told me to read. In business and in real estate, you need two roles:
🔭 The Visionary: Sees the big picture and pushes for the next deal. 🛠️ The Implementer: Crosses the T’s, dots the I’s, and manages the risk.
My wife @caraeden and I live this every day. I’m the Visionary, she’s the Implementer. If one of us isn’t on board, we speak up and we pass. Period. 🤝
The "ying and yang" is what makes a partnership work. If your partner is questioning a deal, they aren’t a roadblock—they’re your safety net. That balance is what leads to better decisions and more success down the road.
If you are thinking about investing in real estate, let us walk you through how we do it. It's easier than you think. 🏠✨

Great info to consider!
I'm hearing that a lot too! And agree with what you're saying. We are seeing the same here in the Nashville market. Always good advice to sit down with not only a realtor, but a mortgage professional to see what your options are. There are so many other programs that can help. If you've got anyone moving to Tennessee, please let me know. I'd be happy to provide the same level service.

Rates have already responded, dipping into the low 6% range—and even lower—for the first time in years. This is the shift we’ve been waiting for to boost your purchasing power!
The "wait and see" crowd is about to jump back into the market, which means competition is going to heat up fast. Now is the time to get your numbers in order. 🏠💸
DM us the word POWER to find out your updated purchasing power and see how much you could save on your monthly mortgage!

Worth it though because this backyard is next level. A true resort style setup with a custom pool, baja shelf, swim up bar, outdoor kitchen, and a home that has been upgraded far beyond anything the builder offered.
Built in 2022 with over $250K in upgrades.
This is Sommers Bend living at its best.
Be honest. Would you take the fall for this backyard? 👀🏡
