Something to think about …

In 1971, the interest rate for a mortgage was 7.33% (for my first home in 1979 it was 14%).
If you waited for interest rates to go down, you wouldn’t have purchased a home until 1993. You would have rented it for 22 years waiting for rates to go down.
Meanwhile, the value of real estate quadrupled.

Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait.

Marry the house, date the rate.

🌟 Eight years ago, I joined TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, a company that embodies true excellence, not just in business, but in life. 
At that time, I wasn’t sure what the future would hold. I could not have made a better move. I am surrounded by the most professional and helpful colleagues, who I can call friends. 🌟
