The best compliment I could have received...

Congratulations to Davis & Rebecca Walletine! They Just closed on this awesome Twin Home in Springville. The price was perfect for the square footage, they got a really good deal.

The Walletines found me via my website, when I gave them a call they seemed a little hesitant but excited at the process of purchasing there first home before the $8,000 Federal Tax Credit ran out. Upon meeting them in my office, answering there questions and learning more about there needs, wants, and desires for the future we set out together to find them the perfect home.

After only two days of showing homes Davis and Rebecca had found what they wanted and my job was to get it for them. After a lengthy but productive negotiation process, appropriate legal paperwork and qualifying for the loan that would best help them, the wallentines got their very first home.

Upon closing today Davis turned to myself and Jon Aldrige (my preferred lender) and almost made me cry when they said, "From the moment we first spoke to you on the phone you made us feel so comfortable, You have watched out for us every step of the way through this process and we can't thank you enough".

I am honored to be part of a profession that truly does change lives! Thank you Wallentines for your trust, I truly hope I never disappoint.

Congratulations Rebecca & Davis, Thank you.

Got questions about where real estate is headed

Real Estate Market FAQs

Got questions about where real estate is headed? Here are informed answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about today’s housing market.

When will housing hit bottom?
There isn’t any single answer to this question. It depends on where you live. Home prices are rising again in the most convenient suburbs of such cities as New York and Washington, D.C. In other places that are in less demand, prices continue to fall.

How can I figure out the value of my home?
Talking to a real estate professional and/or hiring an appraiser is the best idea. But even after getting a professional opinion, it is hard to tell what a home will sell for until you put it on the market.

Is now a good time for a renter to buy a home?
It could be. Prices in many areas are down significantly from their peak a couple of years ago. Plus, Congress has extended the tax credit for first-time home buyers and added a $6,500 credit for many previous owners of homes who sign a contract to buy by April 30, 2010.

Should I invest in foreclosed homes?
A foreclosure can be a risky buy, even for the most experienced real estate investors. Use caution.
