✨New Listing! Open House and As Always Lotsa Fun 🥳

Hello Friends!
As usual the real estate market is keeping us on our toes. Rates have ticked up a bit – we had a buyer quoted at 4% for an offer we just wrote this past week. The sooner buyers can secure a home the better, and in order to do so, they are having to step up in a big way. Mediocre offers are falling flat. We have a whole host of ways that buyers can make their offer stand out from others even when competing against cash buyers. We are always available for a chat so don’t hesitate to reach out and
schedule one. ?
We are extremely excited about our newest listing in the Fields of St. Croix. Built by a long-time respected builder, Landmark Homes, in 2001, this home has the feel of a vintage farmhouse but with modern day features like a great big finished lower level! If you love old houses, you’ll love this one! Showings started today, Friday the 18th. We will be holding an open house from 11-1 on Sunday, too. Stop in. And do please share this with anyone who may not want to know!
Scroll down to check out this weeks’ fun to be had and have a great weekend! ?
Cheers,
Anne

Swipe to see our team members Kelly and Abbe’s adorable pups! They are truly members of the family ❤️?
