Stick With Vik

🏡 Calling All Homeowners, Agents & Friends! 🏡

I have a buyer actively looking for a home and I'm hoping the power of social media can help!

📍 Areas of interest:
• Franklin
• Carlisle
• Miamisburg
• Springboro
• Lebanon
• Waynesville

Yes, I know that's a wide area, but this buyer has some flexibility and is focused more on the monthly payment than the actual purchase price. As many of you know, taxes can make a big difference in affordability. A home in Warren County may have a higher purchase price but lower taxes, while some Montgomery County homes may have a lower price but different monthly costs.

✅ Looking for:
🏠 3 bedrooms preferred
🏠 Will consider 2 bedrooms if they are generously sized
🏠 Approximately $150,000 - $200,000 range (depending on taxes, insurance, and overall payment)
🏠 Must qualify for FHA financing

If you know of a home coming soon, a FSBO, an estate sale, or a seller who has been thinking about listing, please send me a message!

Inventory in this price range can be challenging, but I know there are homes out there. Let's work together and help this buyer find the right one! ❤️

📲 Message me with anything you have!

Life as a Realtor… 🏡💚💛

I think a lot of people don’t fully understand how real estate agents get paid, so I wanted to share a little insight into this career that I truly love.

As Realtors, we do NOT get paid hourly or salary. We only get paid if a buyer or seller actually CLOSES on a property. That means we could show 1 house and it closes quickly… or we could show 50-100 houses over months and months before it finally happens. And sometimes? It never happens at all.

There are also times buyers decide not to move forward, change their minds, or simply wanted to “look” at homes without ever taking the next steps. When that happens, we don’t get paid anything for all the time, driving, scheduling, paperwork, phone calls, research, negotiations, and weekends we put in. Basically… we worked for free.

A lot of people also don’t realize Realtors are independent contractors. We are self-employed and receive a 1099 — meaning we pay higher taxes ourselves, cover our own insurance, health insurance, marketing, licensing fees, continuing education, MLS dues, office expenses, and put a TON of wear and tear on our vehicles. And let’s not even talk about the crazy gas prices lately. 🚗⛽

This job can be amazing and rewarding, especially when handing buyers the keys to their dream home or helping sellers move into their next chapter. But it can also be stressful and emotionally draining at times.

Even recently, I’ve had situations where I spent a lot of time helping people and won’t get paid because they decided not to buy. That’s just part of the business sometimes. Life as a Realtor!

I’m not posting this for sympathy at all — I simply wanted to help people better understand what goes on behind the scenes in real estate. Most Realtors work VERY hard for every closing they earn. 💚💛

Now off to go show some amazing houses to some amazing clients! 🏡🔑
