Happy Saturday morning. It's been awhile since I've posted but it's been a good year so far.

Today is inspection day for another one of my buyers.

If you're looking to buy, now is the time. The first step is always speaking with a mortgage broker to see what you qualify for, and where your comfort zone is on what you want to spend. Be sure you can maintain the lifestyle you are currently living if that is what you so desire.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
