I have been involved with real estate and investments in one form or another since the early 80’s. Back then, I was a loan officer and investment adviser for a local bank. In case you don’t remember, in the early 80’s the Prime Lending Rate fluctuated around 20%, the Dow Jones was under 800 and the average home price was just over $47,000. My how times have changed! Being in banking for almost 20 years gave me a wonderful understanding of our financial and economic world. Holding several Investment Series Licenses, I have a strong appreciation for your investment portfolio and the role that real estate plays in it. And because I spent years in lending and credit counseling, I can also help you navigate through the mortgage loan process along side my very knowledgeable mortgage partners. During the 90's while operating a family-owned wholesale brokerage company, I began my own rental property portfolio and handled the General Contractor duties for my primary residence. I developed the architectural design and later several additions. As a Real Estate Investor myself, I have done a variety of property renovations, “fix and flips”, “buy and holds”, wholesales, and even some interior design and landscape design. Yes, I will swing a hammer, climb a ladder, crawl under a house and I’ve been told I get more paint on myself than on the walls…. but the point is, I will do whatever it takes to get the job done. In 2004, it was time to take all the real estate knowledge I had accumulated and combine it with the decades of customer service, marketing, sales and negotiation experience I had acquired. I became a Licensed REALTOR® in the Commonwealth of Virginia. My business is operated almost exclusively by referral and I love helping my clients and then their families, friends and co-workers. I have a wonderful group of partners and we strive to make each aspect of your real estate transaction go as smoothly as possible. We work hard and enjoy what we do so you may rest assured we will do our best for you!

HEY LOOK AT THIS!!

Do You Know How Much Equity You Have?

The low mortgage rate you locked in a few years ago might make moving feel off the table. But your equity could put it back on.Homeowners with a mortgage have an average of $310K in equity right now. That could go toward a bigger down payment, so you borrow less at today's rates. Or, you may be able to buy your next place in cash – without needing a mortgage at all. So, don’t write off a move just yet. Let's find out how much equity you have and what it could do for you.

HEY LOOK AT THIS!!

Feeling like buying your first place is still years away? Here’s how to shortcut it.

While data shows saving up and reaching the break even point where owning costs about the same as renting usually takes around 15 years, there are ways to get there faster.

If you set your sights on a starter home, it’s actually closer to seven years. That cuts the time in half. You’re looking at 4.6 years to save and 2.6 to break even.

But keep in mind, those numbers assume you put 20% down. Most first-time buyers put down far less, so that saving timeframe can shrink even more.

DM me, and I'll share a few ways to reach your first home sooner – like talking to a lender about down payment assistance programs.

Since you’ve probably already been saving for a while, you may be closer than you realize.

I've been saying this for years. Raise the Capital Gains Exemption and make it EVEN between Single and Married. Base it on the value of the HOUSE, **NOT** who is Married or Single!!
