5 Ways to Avoid Buyer’s Remorse from Texas Realtors

Get In Your Car

Have you considered drive time? Take a practice drive during busy times (morning and evening rush hour).

Take a Walk

Spend time in the neighborhood to check if there is a lot of road or construction noise nearby.

Look Beyond Staging

A well-staged house can highlight some features, and hide others. Look past the staging. Will the layout of the home work for you?

Evaluate Property Condition

Can you afford to maintain the home?

Have a Firm Budget

Know ahead of time what your financial goals are, determine budget, and stick with it.

Bonus! Remember to communicate with your REALTOR who can guide you through the home buying process.

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016. I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017. When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
