REVIEWS
Krista Klause was on top of the selling process. Always kept me informed about everything I wanted to know. She worked very hard and she went over and above what was expected out of a realtor. Very nice and kind and always helpful. It took a little longer than she had expected to sell but with my house being on the market during thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, it took awhile for the showings to start up in the middle of January and then they started coming in. Many showings last two weeks of January and beginning of February. I highly recommend Krista Klause to any family or friend needing to sell a house or buy a house.

Krista is an excellent and reliable agent. She was patient as we visited numerous properties and asked numerous questions. She has continued to go above and beyond even after our closing. My family highly recommends Krista. You will not be disappointed.

Demystifying the Appraisal Process: What Buyers Need to Know
The homebuying journey can be exciting, but some steps—like the appraisal process—can feel a bit overwhelming. That’s where Krista Klause and her team come in! We’re here to guide you through every detail, ensuring you feel informed, confident, and ready to move forward. Let’s break it down with helpful tips and a clear explanation. 😊 What Is an Appraisal? 🤔 An appraisal is a licensed professional’s unbiased opinion of a home’s value. This assessment ensures the property’s value aligns with the loan amount requested by the buyer. It’s an essential step that protects both the lender and you as the buyer. Why Are Appraisals Necessary? 🛠️ Appraisals are critical to: Confirm the property’s value matches the purchase price. Secure financing. Protect you from overpaying for a home. This process gives both buyers and lenders peace of mind. How Does It Work? 🏠 Here’s what the appraiser will do: Visit the property to evaluate its condition, size, location, and recent upgrades. Compare it to similar homes recently sold in the area. Use this data to determine the home’s fair market value. What Happens Next? 📑 Once the appraisal is complete, the lender receives a detailed report. If the appraised value meets or exceeds the purchase price, the loan moves forward. If it’s lower, Krista Klause and her team will help you explore options to keep the process on track. Tips for a Smooth Appraisal Process 💡 Be Prepared: Ensure the property is well-maintained and complete minor repairs before the appraiser’s visit. Stay Informed: Remember, the appraisal is just one step. We’ll guide you through it and everything else that comes along. Why It Matters By understanding the appraisal process, you’ll feel empowered to make informed decisions. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about giving you confidence as you invest in your future. Bottom LineKrista Klause and her team are here to make every step of your homebuying journey smooth and stress-free. If you have questions about appraisals—or any part of the process—we’re ready to help! Reach out today, and let’s move forward with confidence. ✨🔑
Read MoreUnlock the American Dream: How VA Home Loans Make Homeownership Possible for Veterans

Read MoreUnderstanding the Fed’s Role in the Housing Market
With all the talk about the Federal Reserve (the Fed) and its impact on the housing market, it’s important to know what’s really going on. This week, the Fed meets to discuss the Federal Funds Rate—essentially, the cost for banks to borrow from one another. While this isn’t directly setting mortgage rates, it does influence them, so buyers and sellers should take note. Krista Klause and her team are here to help you break down how this affects you 📉💼. What Drives the Fed’s Decisions? The Fed considers three main economic indicators: Inflation 📈Inflation has been high recently, but it’s showing signs of stabilizing as it moves closer to the Fed’s 2% target. Lower inflation could lead to rate cuts soon, which may eventually ease mortgage rates too. Job Growth 💼The Fed is monitoring how many new jobs are added each month, and the numbers are beginning to cool, which is exactly what the Fed aims for. Fewer jobs mean a slower economy, which could lead to rate cuts. Unemployment RateA strong labor market is reflected in a low unemployment rate of 4.1%, showing the Fed’s current strategy is balancing out well. What’s Next for Mortgage Rates? If the Fed lowers the Federal Funds Rate, mortgage rates could follow over time. Experts anticipate a gradual decline in rates as we move into 2024 and 2025, but it won’t happen overnight. Key economic events, including the upcoming presidential election, could still cause market shifts and impact rate trends. Bottom Line 💬 While the Fed’s decisions are important, it’s economic data and market trends that truly drive mortgage rates. Partner with Krista Klause and her team to navigate this changing landscape and find opportunities as rates gradually stabilize. The journey may include some twists, but with the right team, you’ll have a trusted guide every step of the way!
