A rate lock is an agreement with your lender that guarantees a specific interest rate for a set period — typically 30–60 days — no matter what the market does. 🔒📊

Here's why it matters:
• If rates rise after you lock, you're protected 🛡️
• If rates drop, some programs offer float-down options 📉
• Timing is everything — lock too early and it may expire before closing; too late and rates may have shifted ⏳

We'll help you navigate the timing and strategy that makes the most sense for you. Let us set you up with a lender from our family mortgage company; John Adams Mortgage with any questions! 🏠

🔥 Backyard grilling is a Michigan summer staple - but a few simple habits can go a long way toward keeping things safe.
Keep your grill at least ten feet from your home, deck railings, and any overhanging branches. Never leave it unattended, and always have a way to extinguish a fire nearby. Let coals cool completely before disposal, and give your grill a cleaning before the season kicks off.
If a fire does get out of hand, your homeowners policy typically covers sudden and accidental fire damage - but limits and exclusions vary. Contact our family insurance company; Insurance One and they will make sure you are covered before you fire things up this summer. 🍖🏡
