The banks are really loosening up.


Buyers can now purchase a home with 0% down.

I’m really happy to hear this news, since I know what it will mean to many buyers in the market right now.

If you know of anyone who has good credit and a good job but simply doesn’t have the means to come up with a huge down payment, I would love to help them out.

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.

What I've Learned About the Buyer's Side of Real Estate


As someone who has been in the real estate business for 25 years, there are a few things I’ve observed during that time. Today, I want to share three key points about the buying process.

I’ve been in the real estate business for 25 years, and I can’t believe how quickly time has gone.

Over that time, I’ve learned a lot of things. That’s why today, I want to share three things I often see come up in the home buying process:

  1. When people make an offer, it is totally contingent on a great home inspection. Here on our team, we’re connected to a great home inspector who will take care of looking into even the smallest details. If you find anything you don’t like, you can totally back out, as per his contract.
  2. Every offer is contingent upon a great appraisal. Everything must check out on the lending side before you can get into the house.
  3. As a buyer you don’t pay any commissions. From your side of the transaction, this isn’t something you’ll need to worry about.

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.
