Beat the Competition with Early Preparation
Summer is one of the busiest homebuying seasons. Getting preapproved before you start shopping can help you move quickly when the right home hits the market.
Look Beyond the Backyard
Remember to evaluate the home's overall condition, layout, and long-term value,not just the seasonal perks.
Shop Weekdays When Possible
Open houses can be crowded on weekends. Scheduling private showings during the week may give you a better opportunity to evaluate a property without distractions.
Maximize Your Curb Appeal
Fresh mulch, colorful flowers, and a well-maintained lawn can help create a strong first impression during the summer selling season.
Let the Sunshine In
Open blinds and curtains before showings to showcase natural light and make your home feel bright, welcoming, and spacious.
Create an Outdoor Oasis
Stage patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces with simple furniture and décor to help buyers envision summer entertaining and relaxation.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Our Mission Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need because no child should have to sleep on the floor. They provide fully furnished beds, including mattresses and bedding, to families who may not otherwise be able to afford them.
The Home Committee also spent numerous days handmaking blankets, helping ensure each child receives a bed that’s not only comfortable, but truly their own.
