National Paperclip Day: What This Tiny Office Tool Can Teach You About Buying a Home

May 29 is National Paperclip Day. Yes, it's a real thing. Before you roll your eyes, hear me out. This little loop of bent wire may not look like much, but it’s been quietly saving our sanity (and our paperwork) since 1867, when Samuel B. Fay got the first U.S. patent for it. Originally made to attach tickets to fabric (who knew?), it quickly found its calling holding papers together and hearts, if you're sentimental like me.

But what does a paperclip have to do with buying a home? A lot more than you'd think.

1. Paperclips = Organization Superpowers

Let’s be honest—homebuying comes with more paperwork than a high school science fair. Loan approvals, inspection reports, contracts, disclosures... it's a lot.

Pro tip: Just like a paperclip holds your chaos in place, I’ll help keep your homebuying process neat, tidy, and stress-free (well, as stress-free as buying a house can be). Trust me—I know where all the paperwork goes and I actually read it.

2. They Keep Things (and People) Together

A paperclip's job is to hold the important stuff together—and so is mine. Whether it’s your lender, your inspector, or your long-lost cousin who suddenly has “thoughts” on your new house, I’m here to help keep the team focused and the drama to a minimum.

Think of me as your Real Estate Ring Leader. No circus animals, just real estate knowledge and snacks.

3. The Little Things Matter

The paperclip may be tiny, but forget one and suddenly your documents are all over the place. Same goes for small details in a contract—miss one and things can unravel fast.

Fun fact: I once caught a missing signature 15 minutes before closing. That’s the kind of eagle-eyed detail you want in your corner. 

So, Why Are We Celebrating a Paperclip?

Because sometimes it’s the smallest tools that make the biggest difference. Whether it's holding your inspection report together or holding your hand through your first home purchase, organization, connection, and attention to detail matter.

And hey, if you celebrate National Donut Day, why not give the humble paperclip a little love too?

Let’s make your homebuying journey smooth, smart, and maybe even fun.
