2024 in Focus

A Curated Collection of Insights and Inspiration.

The Friend Group January Newsletter 2024

New Year's resolutions can have significant impact on your real estate goals. One question we keep receiving is "Is now a good time to buy? Our answer is yes, at the right price and with the correct mindset. Many buyers currently have trepidation and assume that buying in the future when rates dip will be easier and less costly. Not too long ago that mindset manifested itself with increased prices and competition during Covid. Three tips: 1. Speak to a lender or financial advisor that you trust to get pre-approved or to find a tool that enables you to leverage your cash for a purchase. 2. Call us to help you start your search for a primary, secondary or tertiary home anywhere in the United States. We can do a current assessment of your property and provide accurate valuations for you at no cost. 3. Prepare for the process to take much less time than you anticipate. You'll be able to refinance your home when rates start to decline and you won't have to worry about multiple offers that push your price higher than you'd prefer.

The Best of 2023

A Curated Collection of Insights and Inspiration.

January with The Friend Group

Though there was still much traveling last month for us at The Friend Group.. The best part of December was spending time with our Compass DMV Family! The last few years have reminded us all what's most important... For me, it's been 2 things: First, the time spent with family and those closest to me. Second, fulfillment in how I serve people everyday. So thankful that this is a community that inspires, cares for and supports each others success. Helping people around the world with the next big chapter in their life. Here's to 2023!

February with The Friend Group

Client Appreciation at Top Golf! Thank you to Alex Barresi for joining forces in putting together an awesome event with us, to show appreciation for our clients this last year.

March with The Friend Group!

Puerto Rico! Every month we make sure to travel somewhere new. This month, we made it to Puerto Rico! I was fortunate enough to take a look at some new beautiful properties in PR. Enjoy the photos above! Have a blessed March everyone.
