📅 7 Things To Do This Weekend

Happy Tuesday!

The warm weather is back (for now), and we are here for it! I hope everyone can enjoy some time outside over the next few days!

A few weeks ago, we asked you if you wanted us to put together a summer camp guide. The answer was overwhelmingly YES!

So we got to work behind the scenes and are putting the finishing touches on the guide. It should be ready in the next week or so. So be on the lookout for that.

Alrighty, let’s get to it!

THIS EMAIL IS PRESENTED BY HOMEPOINT

🏡 A Better Way To Buy and Sell Your Home

Traditional real estate is expensive, complicated, and outdated. Homepoint is changing that.

Their platform puts you in control with a streamlined buying and selling process that’s simple, transparent, and efficient. You get full-level marketing, expert support without the pressure, and a smoother path to homeownership.

Even better, Homepoint only takes 1% of the home's sale price at closing—a fraction of the cost compared to averages—so you keep more money in your pocket. For buying, it’s a flat $5,000 fee.

Regardless of where you’re at in the home-buying process, Homepoint makes buying a home easier and more affordable.

Ready to buy and sell smarter and save more? Learn how Homepoint works today.
