You can click on anything that is underlined here to go to the site for the information. If there is other information that you are looking for please let us know so we can point you in the right direction.

Check with your loan officer to see what interest rate they will be offering you. It depends on your credit score. If you need to improve your score they can help you.

Some lenders are offering to put you through underwriting when you start the process of wanting to buy a home. Get then all your financial information. This takes out all the guess work so you and a seller know that you are approved for a loan up to a certain price. If the home inspection goes well and the appraisal comes in at the contract price you are set to go and can close soon. Home inspections are not cheap. Why not get approved so you don’t have to worry that you are spending money on it when you don’t know if you will get approved.

Request a home valuation to see what your home is worth in today’s market. Tell us a little bit about your home and what has recently been updated. We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you an estimate of what it will cost to sell your home. This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms.

You can set up an email alert so you will receive listings as soon as they hit the market.

This is a fantastic time to be a seller! By the time you get to closing the temperatures will be better for moving. Request a home valuation and we will give you and estimate of what your home is worth in today’s market. We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you the expenses to sell. The net proceeds will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms so you can see what you will walk away with so you can make a good decision.

If you want to be a buyer you have to be patient and aggressive. You will be up against multiple offers so you need to be aggressive with pricing and patient because not everyone can win. If you need to get financing you have to get all your financial information to a loan officer and go through underwriting so all you need is to update title and order appraisal. Anything less will not get accepted. No more waiting until the weekend to look because it will be gone by then.

We will guide you through the process and let you know what needs to be done.
