“It's important to remember that real estate, almost more than any other business, is highly personalized. The results you get will depend mostly on the one person with whom you deal.“ Robert Irwin--nationally recognized real estate author

Since 1980, I have helped thousands of home buyers and home sellers navigate one of life's most major events; buying or selling their home. Guiding clients through the sky-high interest rates of the 80's, the recession of 1990, the boom years of 2003-2006, and everything in between. Consumers can find homes themselves online, but they can't find out the history of the neighborhood, apply perspective to the comps, identify trending, or understand the intrinsic value of one street versus another. That's where I come in. A vital cog in the real estate transaction, my role is to fill the gaps in the public record and educate. Educated opinions of value based on years of hands-on experience and thousands of transactions. There's plenty of information available online and elsewhere. However, information is not knowledge. That's what I bring to the table. Best known as being detail oriented and skilled as a strong negotiator, I am backed by Central Kentucky's leading full service real estate company, Rector-Hayden, Realtors. Since 1969, the company has provided a fully diversified array of services with inventories of residential homes, farm properties, and investment properties. Mortgage services and an auction division are available as well. You can trust our reputation for integrity and for expertly handling the hundreds of details required for a successful real estate sale and closing. I recognize that each client's real estate transaction comes with its own specific set of complexities. I simplify the complex. Whether you require expertise in the buying or selling process, I invite you to contact me today.

Myth vs. Reality: Does the Fed Control Mortgage Rates?

The Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates, but its hikes can keep them higher for a while. The goal is to bring inflation, and eventually rates, down over time. With more hikes likely this year, waiting may not pay off. So, let's map out a plan that works at today's rates.
