We’ve had some wonderful closings lately, and we couldn’t be happier for our amazing clients. Every transaction teaches us something new, and here are a few highlights from recent deals that might help future buyers and sellers:

🔑 Final Walk-Throughs Matter
This isn’t the time to renegotiate or micromanage repairs—it’s simply the chance to confirm the home is in the same (or better!) condition as agreed, and that repairs are completed per the amendment.

📋 Inspections vs. Repairs
The 1–4 family contract allows for inspections and evaluations only. Buyers (and agents) cannot make repairs or changes to the property before closing without the seller’s approval. Remember—you don’t own it until the keys are in your hand!

🏠 Manufactured Home Details
Replacing a roof on a manufactured home? No WPI-8 certificate needed—but a tie-down certificate is required, especially for insurance purposes.

📑 Permits Matter
If sellers made additions or renovations, it’s important that permits were pulled (when required by the city) or disclosed if they weren’t. This protects everyone and prevents surprises down the road.

When buyers and sellers work together with trust and good communication, the process becomes seamless—and it’s always a privilege to guide our clients to the finish line.

💛 Thank you for trusting Sparrow Realty to be part of your journey.

Happy Tuesday, friends—stay blessed!

Today I received the sweetest handwritten note from a client, and one of her words stopped me in my tracks:

✨ “If you ever wonder if what you do matters, let me assure you—it does.” ✨

Buying a home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. My client reminded me that by sharing knowledge, patience, and kindness, I can make that journey less stressful and a little more joyful.

I’ll be honest—sometimes I wrestle with the thought that being a real estate broker isn’t “world-changing” like being a doctor saving lives or a teacher shaping young minds. But this note reminded me of something deeper: purpose doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.

I know God placed me in this career for a reason. My prayer is that I glorify Him not just through transactions, but through the way I serve, encourage, and care for the people I’m entrusted to represent. 💙

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about houses—it’s about people.

If God cares for the sparrows, He surely cares for you. One day at a time, trust His good plans. 💛

Discipline is showing up with love when it would be easier to check out.
It’s making the wise financial decision instead of the easy one.
It’s choosing presence with your family over distractions.
It’s walking in obedience, even when no one’s watching.

As believers, we know discipline isn’t just self-control—it’s spirit-led strength.
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.” – 2 Timothy 1:7

Let today be another step toward what matters most.
Live with intention. Walk with purpose. Honor God in every choice.

Niccole Tyson went above and beyond for her clients, handling every detail with care and persistence. A big part of this transaction was making sure that all previous repairs and additions had the proper city permits in place.

Getting the right permits isn’t just a formality — it protects homeowners legally, ensures work is up to code, and helps avoid costly issues when it’s time to sell. Niccole worked diligently to make sure everything was done right.

Well done, Niccole — we appreciate your dedication and professionalism!

RENTING ISN’T A STEP BACK, IT’S A STRATEGY.
⁣
Let’s debunk the myths:

❌ “Renting is throwing money away.”
❌ “You’re behind if you’re not buying.”
❌ “Renting means you’re not financially smart.”
⁣
Here’s the truth 👉 Renting is often a smart, strategic, and even necessary choice — and everyone’s reason is valid.
⁣
💼 Some rent to stay flexible for career moves.
💸 Some are saving up for the right property or investing in a business.
🩺 Others may be navigating a tough season — like a divorce, staying close to family, or needing to be near medical care.⁣
⁣
Whatever the reason, renting gives you freedom, options, and stability when you need it most. No shame. No stigma.
⁣
Homeownership is one path — not the only one.
⁣
💬 At Sparrow Realty we believe home is where you feel safe, supported, and blessed — no matter what chapter you’re in.

🎉 Big congratulations to Christa Hoogeboom for securing and negotiating a fantastic lease for our client!

Her dedication isn’t just about finding the right property—it’s about serving people with heart, integrity, and faith. She prays with her clients and over every transaction, covering the process with care, wisdom, and intention from beginning to end.

This past deal was a perfect example: she listened, guided, and delivered exactly what the buyers needed.

Why it matters to be represented:

OK, enough about appraisal issues and my soapbox 😂 I want to take this time to congratulate my amazing sellers on the sale of their beautiful home in Hillcrest Village! 🏡

These two were truly the sweetest people to work with — they meticulously maintained their home, and it absolutely showed. The care and love they poured into it brought multiple offers right out of the gate. 👏

It was a pleasure to represent them in this process.
I pray this next chapter in Blanco brings them nothing but peace, joy, and new blessings.

What Is an Appraisal & What Happens If It Comes In Low?

In real estate, an appraisal is a professional estimate of a home’s market value, required by lenders to ensure they’re not financing more than a home is worth.

How Appraisals Work

A licensed appraiser visits the property and evaluates:

• Comparable sales (comps)
• Property condition and features
• Location and market trends
The report goes to the lender, who uses it to determine how much they’re willing to lend.

What’s an Appraisal Gap?

An appraisal gap happens when the appraised value is lower than the agreed purchase price. This can impact financing, since the lender bases the loan on the lower value.

Options When There’s a Gap

• Renegotiate the price
• Buyer pays the difference
• Cancel the contract (if allowed)
• Appeal the appraisal

Can You Appeal an Appraisal?

Yes. A Reconsideration of Value (ROV) can be submitted through the lender if there are errors or better comps available.
Only the lender can contact the appraiser directly—agents and buyers must follow legal channels to avoid violating appraisal independence rules.

Stay tuned for tomorrows story!
The deal fell apart. Not because of the market—because of a negligent appraiser.

The way appraisers are assigned and managed needs serious reform. How can one appraiser come in $50K off or more from another on the same property?

Tomorrow, I’m sharing a recent experience and why this appraisal system needs to change. Don’t miss it.

Big congrats to my amazing agent Paola Forero on the successful closing of this gorgeous home on acreage!

Buying a property like this isn’t just about wide open spaces — it takes real diligence. From zoning and water access to fencing, soil, and making sure it’s just right for horses and other animals, there’s a lot that goes into getting it right.

Grateful for Paola’s expertise and attention to detail every step of the way. Here’s to a beautiful new chapter.
