You do not always need 20% down! There are so many misconceptions about buying a home, don't just assume that home ownership is impossible for you, no matter what your financial situation may look like! Let's talk and find out how to get you into your new home!

Think you need 20% down to buy a home? Think again! Many buyers are surprised to learn there are fantastic options that require much less upfront cash:
FHA: 3.5% down with just a 580 minimum credit score
Conventional: As low as 3% down for first-time buyers
USDA: 0% down (geographic restrictions apply)
VA: 0% down for eligible Veterans
Don’t let the down payment myth hold you back from homeownership! Whether you're a first-time buyer or simply looking for your next move, we’ll help guide you through your best financing options.

What a journey we have been on! When we first started working together these two were not sure how serious they were about buying their first home… it is a huge step. Fast forward 14 months, several showings, and a second baby! (Big brother not pictured) Here you are as new home owners!!!!
Thank you for trusting me with such a huge and exciting moment in your life, it was such a pleasure working with the four of you! It was a bumpy road but I told you that I was determined and it would all work out. I am so glad that I was able to help you make your dream come true!
Thank you to our fantastic mortgage loan originator, Angie McMichael at A Plus Mortgage Solutions that found my clients a great rate and terms.
Thank you to Amy at Original Abstract, LLC for a seamless settlement and to Kristofer Quintana, Transaction Coordinator for keeping the entire transaction moving along from submitting an offer to settlement.
Welcome home Lebers!

Think you cannot afford a home? I had to share this excerpt because it is what I say all of the time! Give me a call!

First-time homebuyer fears can range from “I can’t afford to buy a home” to “I can’t buy a home because my credit score is too bad.” While it can be natural to have these thoughts, it’s important to face fears with facts. Let’s take affordability, for instance.As Keller and Papasan write, “Until you do the math, you don’t know what you can or can’t afford. If you are currently paying rent, generally you can afford to buy. From a financial point of view, in the United States, the tax savings on mortgage interest alone usually make up most of the difference between rent and a mortgage payment – the tax write-offs you get at the end of year will generally help you save a significant amount of money.”Whenever a fear comes to mind, explore with curiosity and get set on finding the facts.
