Congratulations to my client on selling his beautiful condo to begin his out of state journey at a wonderful new property. We received the highest price in the neighborhood since it was built, but you truly made this home so beautiful that it deserved it and I can't wait to see what you do with the next one!

In escrow thanks to some good old fashioned teamwork, and a much lower interest rate than the buyer was expecting! So far we have not have not seen anybody beat our rates and fees this year, and are happy to keep the streak going! In this case, I am the listing agent and loan officer. If you or someone you know are looking to buy, sell, or refinance, give us a call! I am agent friendly if you already have your own agent and want to see if our mortgage products work better for you. Pre-approval is free and if you find a lender that can beat us, I will tell you to use them myself ;).

Congratulations to my wonderful seller for receiving 22-43% more by listing her home with us than offers made by off-market cash investors (and some even after we marketed it)! We love to help our sellers get the most for their homes and are grateful for the chance to show that we care. We had a super smooth transaction, and it couldn’t have worked out any better!

If you have any family or friends looking to buy or sell a home, I would love the chance to help them! And remember, there is a buyer and a seller for every home, beautiful, ugly, and everything in between 😊
