We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully secured our next property and are eager to share the process with you. As seasoned real estate professionals, we understand that the home buying process can be overwhelming, particularly for first-time buyers. We are excited to provide you with the knowledge and resources you need to navigate the process with ease.

In the coming weeks, we will be covering topics such as where to start, the importance of meeting with a mortgage lender before embarking on your home search, the contract process, inspections, negotiations, and the exciting move-in process. We also welcome your questions and invite you to comment below with any specific topics you would like us to address.

Whether you are a first-time buyer or have experience in the real estate market, our posts will provide valuable insights and a helpful refresher on the latest updates to the contracts used in Texas. Stay tuned for our next post, where we will discuss the significance of meeting with a mortgage lender prior to beginning your home search.

We are excited to share our journey with you and can't wait to get to work on our new property. Be sure to check out the sneak peek of our plans after closing below.

***Full disclosure, Chad and I are both licensed Realtors.

our next project

Exterior Style Goals:

To begin, our first course of action would be to enhance the overall appearance of the property by trimming the trees, revitalizing the flower beds, and activating the water sprinklers. (You already know how big of an impact those simple steps can make from reading this post.)

Moving forward, our main objective is to paint the brick with a gray color that features blue undertones. In addition, the trim and fascia board will be painted in a bright white shade, while the shutters and front door will be painted black. If budget permits, we would also love to upgrade the front door to a more contemporary style (like this one), but this will depend on our financial resources.

To complete the transformation, we will power wash the patio, driveway, and fence as discussed in a prior post (we talk about that here)., and also restain the fence to restore its natural beauty.

Interior Style Goals:

Our vision for this house is to achieve an Organic Modern aesthetic that combines the warmth and simplicity of natural objects and materials such as wood and furry textures with the clean lines of modern design. We're considering adding a touch of bohemian flair as well, but we'll provide more details on our design choices in the future. We're keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly with the contract and closing!
