Reel | Buying a Home Just Got Easier
-
Here’s a major win for future homebuyers 👇
Fannie Mae just announced that it’s removing the long standing 620 minimum credit score, opening the door for more people to qualify for a mortgage.
If you're asking yourself, 'Who is Fannie Mae?' Let me explain, Fannie Mae is a government backed company that helps lenders offer affordable mortgages.
They don’t give out loans directly. Instead, they buy loans from lenders so banks can keep lending money.
Because most mortgages follow Fannie Mae’s rules… when Fannie changes something, the whole industry feels it. That means removing the 620 minimum is a big deal, especially if you're planning to buy in 2026.
Here’s what this change means for you:
- Lower credit scores may now qualify
- New, modern credit scoring models can be used
- Rent payments + alternative credit history may hold more weight
- More access for first-time buyers who were previously shut out
So, does this mean everyone gets approved?
Not quite. You still need stable income, manageable debt, and a lender who can underwrite your loan.
But the barrier just got a lot lower, and that’s huge.
If you’re planning to buy in 2026 and need a great lender. Send me a DM! I am here to help!

Home Tips | Make Your Tree Look Designer Without The Price Tag
-
If you’ve ever wondered why designer trees look so much fuller, brighter, and more intentional… it’s because they follow a system.
Here are a few professional Christmas tree-decorating tips that make all the difference (and yes, they’re easy enough to do at home) 👇
🎄 1. Shape + Fluff Like It Matters
Full branches = a fuller looking tree. Take your time opening every section.
✨ 2. Start With the Lights
Wrap them in and out of the branches, not just around the outside. It adds depth and makes the tree glow from the inside.
🎀 3. Use Multiple Ornament Sizes
Mix large, medium, and small ornaments for a layered designer look.
🌟 4. Add Ribbon or Picks for Texture
Think cascading ribbon, floral picks, or glittery stems, these add movement and luxe texture.
🎁 5. Work in Triangles
Place ornaments in visual “triangles” instead of straight lines. This keeps your tree balanced and photo-ready from every angle.
Small upgrades = big impact.
Save this for when you decorate… or send it to someone who could use a little holiday inspo 🤍

Informative | Are 50 Year Mortgages Coming? Here’s What It Would Mean for You
-
Everyone is talking about 50 year mortgages, but very few people actually understand how they work or who they’re built for.
Here’s the real truth for buyers in (**YOUR STATE**):
A 50-year mortgage can:
👉 Lower your monthly payment significantly
👉 Help first time buyers who feel priced out
👉 Create affordability in expensive markets
👉 Provide more flexibility during high rate seasons
BUT it also comes with downsides:
👎 You’ll pay more interest over time
👎 It slows down the pace of building equity
👎 It’s not ideal for buyers planning to stay long-term
👎 It requires serious financial literacy to navigate responsibly
At the end of the day it’s not a “yes” or “no” product, it’s a strategy.
If you’re buying in 2026, let’s talk through whether it actually aligns with your goals, your budget, and your future plans in (**YOUR STATE**).

Reel | Most Renters Make This Mistake When It Comes To Buying Their First Home
-
They wait until a month before their lease ends to start the homebuying process, and then rush into something they don’t love, or run out of time completely.
If your lease ends in May 2026, here’s the timeline that actually works in your favor:
✨ December 2025: start looking
It takes an average of 10 weeks to find the right house + negotiate an offer.
✨ January 2026: go under contract
Once your offer is accepted, the closing process takes 30–60 days.
✨ March 2026: get your keys
This gives you time to move without pressure.
✨ May 2026: make your first mortgage payment
Your first payment typically skips a month, so closing in March = first payment in May.
Starting now means:
✅ more homes on the market
✅ better negotiating power
✅ you won’t be stuck scrambling when your lease ends
✅ and you won’t be paying rent + a mortgage at the same time
If you want help mapping out your exact timeline for a 2026 move, send me a message, it’s free, and it’ll save you so much stress 🤍

Reel | Homeowners Keep Making This Tax Mistake...
-
Most homeowners don’t realize how much tax they can legally avoid when it’s time to sell. Capital gains rules are actually way more flexible than people think, and depending on your situation, you may not owe anything at all.
If you’ve lived in your home for 2 of the last 5 years, you can usually exclude a huge portion of your profit. And even if you don’t qualify for the exclusion, there are ways to defer the tax through reinvesting.
Every scenario is different, but the goal is the same: keep more of your equity in your pocket.

Informative | The Other Mortgage News Everyone’s Talking About
-
I’m sure you’ve seen ta floating around the news lately, talks about a “portable mortgage” that could let homeowners keep their low interest rate even when they move.
Right now, if you have a low rate (like 2–3%), you lose it when you sell.
What’s being discussed would allow you to take your current rate with you to your next home, which could make moving way more affordable for a lot of people.
BUT it’s not as simple as “take your rate and go.”
From what’s being discussed so far, there would still be guidelines, including:
✨ You’d still need to qualify based on your income, credit, and debt
✨ There would be rules on how and when you can transfer the rate
✨ It would only apply to certain types of mortgages
Nothing is official yet, but it’s a big conversation because:
✨ Many homeowners feel “locked in” by their low rates
✨ Affordability has been a major challenge
✨ This could open up options for people who want to move but feel stuck
I’ll keep you updated as more details come out, things like eligibility, limitations, and how this could impact buyers and sellers.
