Fort Worth Real Estate Podcast with Gerald Durham

Property taxes have been increasing over the past few years, causing some issues with buyers and sellers alike. Here’s what you should know.   I’ve been studying the real estate market for the last month, and in that time, I’ve noticed something: Several foreclosed properties have been going to auction—but the amount of jobs in the area hasn’t decreased. So what’s going on? It turns out the answer has to do with homeowner taxes. Data shows that homeowner taxes, on average, were $3,400 in 2017, which is 3% higher than in 2016. This increase in taxes has caused some real problems for people who purchased a home several years ago. Your property taxes may be higher or lower than $3,400, but the more important thing to focus on is how much they’ve increased since you purchased the home.  One reason property taxes have gone up is that property values are on the rise. That also causes your insurance to increase, so your overall monthly payments may have experienced a spike. “One reason property taxes have gone up is that the value of properties is on the rise.” Also, take note of the fact that interest rates have gone up. This has caused many buyers to hold off on buying properties, causing those listed on the market to stay on the market longer. Sellers are having to reduce prices in order to get their homes sold, and, unfortunately, some homeowners who can’t afford to keep up with their payments may face foreclosure. You might think that because values are dropping that taxes will come down with them, which is partially true. Tax collectors want to collect as much as they can since that money helps pay for libraries, road construction, and other city projects. Taxes are a vital part of life. However, you still don’t want to overpay on your taxes.  Over the course of the next few videos in this series, I’ll discuss how you can appeal your taxes to get them lowered, allowing you some financial breathing room. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me. I would love to answer your questions and guide you on the right path per your individual situation.

Want to keep your home cool this summer without having to pay an arm and a leg in utility costs? Here are three alternative ways to cool your home.   Temperatures are rising and so are your utility bills, courtesy of that big power hog: your air conditioner. If you want to cut down your cooling costs without having to crank up the A/C, here are three tricks you can try instead: 1. Fans and ice. You can easily make a DIY air conditioner, with nothing more than a box fan and some ice. Simply put the ice into a bowl and place it in front of the running fan. As the ice melts, it cools the air around it. The fan will then disperse that wonderfully cool air all around your home. Fans can do more than that, though. Another cooling trick is to run your ceiling fans counterclockwise—this will pull up the hot air, leaving you sitting in a cooler space. And installing a whole-house fan can literally pull out all the hot air from your home and siphon it up and out at minimal cost. 2. Green cooling. Plants do a wonderful job absorbing sunshine and reducing the summer heat. If you’re planning to stay in your home for a while, it might make sense to plant several deciduous trees on the south side of your home. Another option is several potted sunflowers, which grow quickly but have large leaves. Climbing vines or foliage on a trellis can keep the front of your home cool, while a green roof will both increase your comfort and reduce your energy bills year-round. “Some of these will actually boost your home’s value.” 3. A summertime schedule. For this natural trick, simply open up the windows in the early morning and shut them before you go to work. This will allow you to suck in some cool air and to keep out the hot air later in the day. For even better results, draw the shades during the day and consider getting heat-blocking blackout curtains. These kinds of simple heat-busting tricks can be effective at reducing the heat during the summer months and lowering your energy bills by 30% to 50%. Plus, small investments like planting a tree or installing a whole-house fan can also boost the value of your home. I bring this up because the summer is also when the real estate market gets hot. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home any time in the near future, don’t hesitate to reach out and give me a call or send me an email today. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

It’s important to have a higher credit as a homebuyer. Here’s why you need it and how it can help or hurt you.   Today I want to talk to you about saving money and maintaining good credit. When you buy a home and have a 20- or 30-year mortgage, having bad credit will cost you a lot more money in interest than if you had a high credit score. Here are some tips to help you raise that credit score and keep it up: 1. Maintain a low balance on your credit card or revolving line of credit. Make sure you pay that credit card balance off every month. You may have some emergencies to pay for and you may not be able to pay those off right away. That’s fine, but make sure you pay it down as soon as possible. If you have multiple cards or lines of credit, pay off the credit with the highest interest rate first before anything else. 2. Set up automatic bill pay. Most creditors will allow this, and it will help you from forgetting to send in the payment and will always make sure your bills are paid on time. “Closing all of your accounts at once is also a big red flag to lenders.” 3. Shop in 30-day increments. If you’re going to purchase furniture or a car, don’t do it all in the same month. Each time you have your credit pulled, it lowers your score and throws up a red flag to lenders. 4. Reconsider closing your accounts. Closing all your accounts at once is also a big red flag to lenders. It’s okay to leave them at a zero balance for a while and close them over a long-term period. Be responsible with your credit. It takes a long time to get good credit, but it takes a lot longer to fix bad credit. When you buy a home, the higher credit you have, the less interest you’re going to pay on your mortgage. If you have any questions for me in the meantime or need any more advice on maintaining your credit, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

This summer might be the last opportunity for you to take advantage of rising home prices and high demand. Here’s why.   Summer is here, which means the high season for real estate. If you’ve been thinking of selling your home, you might be in for a golden moment. However, it might not last long. Let me explain why, with a few details of the current real estate market. Right now, homes are selling in record time. This May, it took just 34 days on average for a home to go under contract, which broke last year’s record of 36 days. Home prices also continue to rise. In fact, they’ve been rising for six straight years. For the past two years, this growth has been accelerating. As a consequence, 27.6% of the homes sold in May sold above their list price. All of this is due to a woefully short supply of homes on the market. In fact, the total supply of homes is 5.4% lower this year than it was at the same time last year. However, the real estate market might be on the cusp of change. Mortgage rates have been rising, and now stand near their highest levels in seven years. As a result, pending home sales were down as of April. A recent Redfin survey also found a drop in customers touring homes for the first time in 27 months. “Demand and prices are still high (for now).” What’s going on? The home price surge might be nearing its end. Overall, home affordability is dropping: Over the past 6 years, there has been a 48% increase in average home prices, while wages increased only 14%. While some sellers are still managing to sell at higher prices than listed, nearly a quarter of sellers actually had to lower their prices this April. If you do decide to sell right now, you would have an easy time of it, and you could get top dollar for your home. That’s because demand and prices are both still high. If you decide to wait, things might go south quickly. That’s because the market may be reaching the limits of price growth and may be stalled by higher mortgage rates. If you want to take advantage of current conditions by buying or selling a home any time in the near future, don’t hesitate to reach out and give me a call or send me an email today. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

If you want to increase your home’s value before listing it, there are three projects you can do that will improve its sustainability and make it more attractive to buyers.   If you are thinking of selling your home, think about sustainability. A new survey by the National Association of Realtors just came out, and it made some remarkable points. For example, 61% of Realtors said clients are interested in sustainability. Also, a whopping 71% of Realtors said energy efficiency is valuable in helping sell a home. So, if you are interested in sustainability and you want to sell your home for a higher price, here are three projects to consider: 1. Energy-efficient appliances. Energy Star-certified appliances such as fridges, washing machines, and clothes dryers can be as much as 40% more water efficient and 25% more energy efficient than standard models. Those numbers go way up if you compare new energy-efficient appliances with models that are more than a few years old. Other gadgets throughout your house might also warrant an update. For example, if you have an old thermostat or an inefficient water heater, then smart new alternatives such as the Nest thermostat or solar water heaters might also be worth a look. “Any of these projects can potentially add a lot of value to your home.” 2. Solar panels. Speaking of solar, homes with solar panels sell 20% faster according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Even more impressive, they sell for a whopping 17% more than comparable homes without solar. And with a range of state and federal incentives still in place, solar can be a great way to make your home more green and attractive at the same time. 3. Windows, doors, and siding. Renovated windows, doors, and siding typically recoup about 80% of their cost in terms of higher home value. However, a full suite of energy-efficient windows, doors, and siding might be worth even more in the current sustainability-minded market. Plus, these projects increase your home’s curb appeal, making it more likely your home will get more interest from potential buyers. Any of these projects can potentially add a lot of value to your home. If you want to discuss which sustainability projects might make the most sense in your particular case or what kind of sale price you could achieve, please feel free to give me a call. If you have any other questions or real estate needs, feel free to call or email me anytime. I would be happy to help you.

There are three real estate scams I’ve become aware of recently that you need to know how to protect yourself against.   It can be a scary world out there. While the majority of people are good and honest, a few bad apples always try to take advantage of others. Unfortunately, the real estate market is no different. Today I wanted to let you know about some real estate scams I’ve become aware of recently: 1. The mortgage closing scam. This scam is spreading across the country. It has become so prevalent that the FBI estimates it has led to over $1 billion in stolen or diverted funds in 2017 alone. It starts when hackers gain access to a real estate agent’s email account. Then, when it’s time to close a deal, the hackers, posing as the real estate agent, send instructions to the homebuyer on where to wire the money. Of course, it is only after the buyer has sent thousands of dollars to an unknown bank account that the truth comes out—the real estate agent wasn’t actually the one reaching out, and the buyer has been scammed. 2. Fake real estate lawyers. This scam is similar to the first one, in that the scammers will impersonate somebody legitimately involved with a deal. In this case, the hackers will impersonate a real estate lawyer who is associated with a particular home sale. Then, at the time of closing, they will contact the buyer, either by email or over the phone, and tell them the wire destination has been changed. If this scam works, the homebuyer could again be out thousands of dollars. “Find a real estate agent you trust to represent your best interests.” 3. The bait-and-switch. Unlike the first two scams, this scam targets sellers. It also doesn’t require any hacking or impersonation—just a dishonest buyer. Here’s how it works: A buyer makes an offer that’s well above the listed price, the seller happily agrees, and the contract is signed. But then, the buyer starts procrastinating, making excuses, and dragging out the process for months or even a year. In the meantime, the seller continues to pay costs for the home, and is getting more and more emotionally worn out. In the end, the unscrupulous buyer flatly says they can only buy the home at a lower price, usually under the listed price. And the seller, desperate by now, frequently agrees. So, how can you protect yourself against these and other scams? For one thing, avoid sending account information over email. Confirm everything over a phone call (to a number that you already know to be valid)—or even better, in person. And ultimately, find a real estate agent you trust to represent your best interests. If you are ever in need of a trustworthy real estate agent, my doors are always open. If you have any other questions or you are interested in buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you.

If you are looking at buying a home, rising interest rates may affect your ability to afford one. Today I have examples of what can happen when interest rates rise during your home search.   Today I want to talk to you about how interest rates are affecting the real estate market. Currently, interest rates are rising—they’re the highest they’ve been in several years. Some people may think that won’t affect the market that much. However, it has already affected several of my clients big-time. Rising interest rates have increased their monthly payments. They were approved for a certain amount when they started looking and now the payment would be higher, which means they can’t afford the home they were looking at. Now, instead of a four-bedroom home, they could be looking at a three-bedroom home. A couple of them had to look in a different subdivision or even a whole different school district. It has really changed their lifestyle. “Sellers probably won’t see multiple offers like before as interest rates rise.” If you are looking to buy a house this year, contact me as soon as possible. We can form a game plan and act now before interest rates go up any more so that you can buy the house you are looking for in the right area. If you are looking to sell a house, you should know that buyers may be a little scarce. With interest rates rising, most buyers are going to want to hold off before they buy because they know they will have to pay more than before. As interest rates rise, sellers probably won’t see multiple offers like before. You may even see your house sit on the market a little longer. If you are trying to sell, though, you need to make sure your house looks the best and is priced right. If you want to know any more about the current trends or about what I can do to help you sell your home, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I would love to speak with you.

Can Zillow really tell you how much a home is worth? I’ll go over the trouble with Zillow’s Zestimates today.   Can you trust Zillow’s Zestimate? I have this conversation quite a bit with my mother. She is always looking to buy investment properties, so she’ll give me a call to let me know what the Zestimate is for the house that she’s interested in. Ultimately, I have to say, “Mom, the house you’re looking at has boards on the windows. The house that it’s compared to is two streets down and a couple blocks over and has brand-new windows. Plus, this house has laminate counters, and other houses in the neighborhood have granite—and that horse tank in the backyard does not count as a swimming pool.” Once I point out all of these differences, she always asks how the Zestimates come up with a price in the first place. The truth is that Zestimates are more like guesstimates. A computer pulls information from different properties in the neighborhood that have sold to come up with a value for your property. “Zillow can be off by as much as 10% to 20% when it comes to home value.” Unfortunately, these houses may not be comparable to your property. Real estate agents compare apples to apples, meaning we find properties that are comparable to yours in order to determine market value. Zillow can be off anywhere from 10% to 20% on home value. In the U.S., Zillow is usually closer to 20% off. If you’re talking about a $250,000 house, Zillow could be off by $40,000 or $50,000. That’s a lot of money. As real estate agents, we can give you a more accurate home valuation. When you have health problems, you don’t want to get a diagnosis from WebMD. You need to go to a specialist to get an accurate valuation of what’s going on in your body. The same is true for the Zestimate. It just shows you a guess of what’s out there, not exactly what your property will be worth. That’s why you need to talk to a professional real estate agent. Selling your house is the biggest financial decision you will make in your life. Wouldn’t you want an accurate assessment of what the value will be for your property? If you have any other questions or would like to know what your home is worth, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

I’ve sold several properties this year that were involved in a will, and any small mistake involved in that type of transaction can take a lot of time to get fixed.  Issues in these transactions can not only mess up real estate plans and cause financial issues, but they can also cause major strife within families.  In the past, for example, I had a client who was forced to hold onto a property and rent it out for several years instead of sell it like he wanted to because of problems with the property’s will. Another time, some clients of mine ended up fighting over what they put together because the will wasn’t worked out correctly like it should’ve been. It tore that family apart and a couple of them probably won’t ever talk to each other again.  “Even if you think you have everything planned out perfectly, visit with an attorney.” The point is, if you own a property involving a will or a trust, visit with an attorney and make sure everything is prepared correctly. Enlisting the aid of an attorney is like hiring a real estate agent—you don’t want to just hire the first one who walks through the door. Interview several to make sure the plan you have is correct and everything is signed how it should be.  If you have any more questions about this topic or you need the name of a good attorney, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d be happy to help you. 

Around this time of year, people often ask me: “When is the best time to sell?” I think the reason this question becomes so common in the fall and winter is that people who have been thinking of listing are uncertain about their potential for success. Most people believe that fall and winter are poor times to sell. Kids are in school, the days are shorter, and the weather is cold. However, this way of thinking simply stems from assumptions. Personally, I believe that the reason these assumptions exist is that real estate agents perpetuate them. But, why would they do that? Well, most real estate agents work part time. Many agents work hard in the summer and slow down in the winter. This is the reason I think agents like to tell people that homes sell best in the summer. To find out if that was truly the case, I did some research. I looked at market sales from the last two years in North Texas, and I found that the numbers don’t change all that much between seasons. “If you want to list successfully, you should work with an agent who does their job all year long.” Also, there are some other important aspects to keep in mind. While the days may be shorter during winter, buyers are typically much more serious during these months. People move for many reasons. This means that there’s really no good or bad time to sell. Marriages, career changes, and other life events that might spark a move can happen at any time of year. While market statistics may dip slightly during the winter months, you shouldn’t let this discourage you. If you want to list successfully, you should work with an agent who does their job all year long. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Where are the best places to spend money on improvements in your home in order to get the highest return? Here are a few of the best and most inexpensive fixes you can make: 1. Update your paint and carpet with neutral colors2. Get rid of wallpaper3. Update your light fixtures4. Add a deck or patio (or refinish the one you already have) These are great improvements that add value to your home whether you’re ready to sell now, in six months, or in a year. By making these upgrades now, you can enjoy the benefits of them while you’re still in the home. If you make the repairs right before you move, you won’t be able to enjoy them as much.Getting repairs done now before you sell also allows you to focus on other important things when the time comes to list your home on the market. “Getting repairs done now allows you to focus on more important things later.” If you have any questions for us or need any help buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you soon.

Did you know that real estate investing is no longer reserved for the super wealthy? A recent survey showed that real estate investors make up 15% of the population.This translates to 50 million individuals who own an investment property. In other words, real estate investment is on the rise. Investors in the US are starting to take notice, with 89% of them indicating interest in real estate investing. The reason for this comes down to the benefits associated with real estate investing,  such as cash flow, tax exemptions, leverage, and value appreciation. If you’re thinking of investing in real estate, we’ve got five tips you might find interesting. Buy and rent. This investment method is a very traditional route that many people take. By buying property to turn around and rent out, investors are able to take advantage of today’s rising rental rates. It’s also fairly easy right now to purchase property, since mortgage rates are low. The downside to this method is that it requires a lot of time and work to maintain and manage the properties. Buy and sell (or house flipping). This is where you purchase a property and then sell it for a profit. For this kind of investment, you can either sit on it until property value goes up or you can make renovations to improve the value before selling, yourself. In 2016, house flipping offered 49% returns. Real estate investment groups. Real estate investing doesn’t need to be done alone. It is possible to join investment groups that flip or rent out properties as a collective. Of course, being part of one of these groups will require you to pay a fee. Crowdfunding sites. Lately, these kinds of websites have exploded. Several sites have popped up that allow you to use a raise a moderate amount of money to invest in large real estate developments. This method is simple, but doesn’t typically generate a high profit. Real estate investment trusts. Think of these trusts as a mutual fund in real estate. They do usually pay high dividends, but lack the tax benefits and leverage of other investment approaches. “Deciding between these investment approaches comes down to the trade-offs between cost, results, and profit.” Ultimately, deciding between these investment approaches comes down to the trade-offs between cost, results, and profit. So, if you’re looking to invest in real estate you need to do your due diligence and discuss your options with an expert. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I’ve had a few clients call me in the last few months to let me know about someone they know who is locked into a contract and very unhappy. This has happened with both buyers and sellers.  I strongly advise you against signing a long-term listing agreement or buyer’s representation agreement of any kind. You should be able to have an easy out of your contract if you feel your agent isn’t doing their job. That’s the way we see it. You certainly wouldn’t marry someone who was a new acquaintance. While it’s not for life, a long-term listing agreement can really leave you in a bad spot. Long-term listing agreements set you up for failure. Most of the time, once an agent gets you to sign one of these agreements their subsequent commitment to you will be minimal. “You owe it to yourself and your family to protect your home.” We do things differently around here. If any of our clients aren’t happy with our service at any time, all they have to do is let us know and we’ll release their listing within 24 hours. We will continue to work as hard on the last day of the agreement as we do on the first day and every day in between.  Your home is likely one of the largest investments you’ll ever make. You owe it to yourself and your family to protect it. Before you enter a long-term listing agreement, give us a call or send us an email so we can let you know how we can help. If you have any questions or need any assistance in the meantime, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

I wanted to take just a moment today to talk to you a little bit about my site, geralddurhamgroup.com. My goal for this site was to provide a place where buyers and sellers alike could look at updated home listings as soon as they come on the market. In a fast-paced market like this one, it’s essential because many websites don’t update often or accurately. Homes are being sold within days, if not hours, in this market. Our site allows you to set up searches and search alerts that can be as broad or as detailed as you want it to be. You can search via a specific location, size of home, acreage, or plenty of other amenities. You can then have updates sent to you with new homes that match your criteria daily, weekly, or monthly. You can even have them sent to you the instant that a home matching your criteria hits the market. “Homes are being sold within days, if not hours, in this market.” The site has several tabs on it that provide you with additional information and resources. If you’re curious about what your home is worth, you can get a free, instant home valuation. If you want to get pre-approved, there is a tab that will get you in contact with one of our preferred lenders. If you’ve been searching for a home online but you haven’t visited my site yet, I encourage you to visit it and see for yourself how helpful it can be. It’s all free—there’s no catch. If you have any additional questions for us or you want to get together for a cup of coffee, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Would you believe that half of all houses that come on the market fail to sell? There are three top reasons that any home might fail to sell in any market, not just here in the Weatherford area. Price: It’s a lot like pricing clothing in a retail store. If it doesn’t sell at first, it goes to the sale rack because it’s been rejected by the market due to price or style. You need to price your property correctly to begin with or it might go to the sale rack—or not sell at all. Condition: Price may get buyers in the door, but poor condition can send them right back out. When preparing your house for sale, remember that buyers might have a problem with the three Cs: color, clutter, and cleanliness. You need to keep it clean while it’s on the market. Marketing: This is the last item on this list, which is ironic because most sellers expect this first from their real estate agent. However, it’s oftentimes one of the last things they receive if they receive it at all. Marketing tells a story of the property, and it needs to get out to the buyer. If a buyer doesn’t know the price or condition, it really doesn’t matter. “Home prices are a lot like clothing prices at a retail store.” If you’d like to learn more about what it takes to successfully market and sell your home, you can always give us a call or send us an email. We’re here to help.

Have you thought of buying land west of the MetroPlex? I moved to this area 20 years ago after I bought my first home in Stephenville when I was 19. Before I bought that home, though, I looked for land anywhere from Springtown south to Meridian and 70 miles west of Fort Worth. The price of property just seemed way too high back then. Now, I can’t help thinking, “If I could only go back 20 years.” Lately, we’ve shown several clients land properties that they want to live on or use as a recreational weekend getaway. Land close to Fort Worth is getting harder to find, and the searches are moving further and further away. With a new Tollway and I-20, though, those properties are easier to access. “Land close to Fort Worth is getting harder to find.” If you’ve ever thought about buying land, now is the time to do so. After all, you don’t want to be left saying, “If I could only go back 20 years.” Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I would be happy to help you!

Today we’ve got a quick recap of the first quarter here in the Ft. Worth market to share with you.    In January, we had 2,785 properties on the market with 632 selling. In February, we had 2,749 properties on the market and 807 of them sold. Finally, in March, we had 3,046 properties on the market, 996 of which sold. That’s a big month-to-month increase in sold properties for the first quarter.   The average sales price for homes in March 2016 was $180,000 and it increased slightly to $205,515 this March. However, the number of properties on the market this March fell 1.6% from March of 2016. The number of sold properties fell by 6.5%. “Inventory is down, but sales are up, making now a great time to list your house.”   Even though the number of sold properties decreased year over year, that number increased every month in the first quarter of 2017. That’s why now is such a great time to sell your house. If you hire the right real estate agent, they will price your home accurately so that only qualified buyers come to view it.    Hopefully this gives you a better perspective of what’s going on in our market. If you have any questions or you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in our market, give us a call or send us an email. We’d love to hear from you!

Someone asked me the other day, “Who is buying real estate right now?” I figured I would answer the question for everyone’s sake today. I went back and looked at some of the recent properties that have sold and I found that a majority of buyers are investors—foreign investors, to be precise. These homes are being rented out just a few days after closing. “Foreign investors are beating out local buyers.” It may not sound like a big deal, but these foreign investors are coming in and beating out hardworking families and first-time buyers for these homes. If you’re thinking of buying a property in this market, it’s essential that you have a good agent who can assist you with buying. It’s a crucial step. I’d love to help you out with the home buying process and share some of the strategies I’ve successfully used to help buyers secure the home of their dreams. If you have any questions or would like my assistance with your home purchase, just give me a call or send me an email. I would love to hear from you.

When you sell your home, your list price is one of the most important aspects of your sale. You want to avoid these pricing pitfalls: If you overprice your home, you may price it out of the market. Homebuyers typically search for homes within certain price ranges, and if you’re not within that price range, your target buyer might not even see your home or know that it’s listed at all. Thanks to technology, buyers do their own homework much more thoroughly in today’s market and they’re more likely to do their own comparative market analysis, so you want to make sure your home is priced in their pricing sweet spot. Don’t let your home sit on the market. If your house sits on the market for too long, it won’t look good to buyers. They can look up your home’s cumulative days on market and consider it when making an offer. An appraisal will reveal the true market value of your home. If a buyer uses a mortgage to buy your home, they’ll need to have an appraisal performed on the home before the bank will lend the money. The appraisal will determine the value by comparing it to similar homes that have sold recently in the area. If the appraisal doesn’t match the sales price, you might have to start over and reprice the home. You might also be able to negotiate a new price. “If your home sits on the market, buyers will naturally wonder what’s wrong with it.” If have any other questions about pricing your home properly or you’re looking to buy a house in the area, give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you!
