Today’s Real Estate: Longer Contracts, More Work. Better Hire a Pro.

Used to be – and I say that with all my two years of real estate experience – use to be that once a buyer and seller agreed on price and terms, closing would follow about 30 days later. However, now that short sales, foreclosures, government assistance programs, and bad credit have become more the norm than the exception, closing dates are getting pushed further and further out. In my own business, for example, three closings scheduled for early June have all been postponed to later in the month.

VA Rate Down to 5%

If you have a VA mortgage, you need to call me. I have a lender offering a 5% interest on VA loans right now.  She can refinance your loan at that rate for $13 and roll your closing costs into the new loan. You’ll recoup those costs through your lower monthly payment in less than two years. Borrowers who are currently paying 6.5% or more will save $150 PER MONTH or more on their mortgage payment.
