30 under 30 Photo Shoot Video, Realtor Magazine

I am so proud to have been selected as one of Realtor Magazine’s 30 under 30, class of 2010!  I was recently in Chicago for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the last 10 years of 30 under 30 and I met some amazing young talented real estate professionals.  It was such a wonderful opportunity to network with other young professionals and share our stories.  I came away from the experience humbled and energized.  I am looking forward to staying involved at the national level and continuing to bridge the gap between the veterans and the newcomers. www.realtyexecutivesseminole.com

I copied and pasted the article from the magazine below as well as included a link back to the magazine.  I hope you enjoy – and all you young professionals out there…  it could be you next year!  30 under 30, 2011!!  Read the rest of this entry »

In one of the worst Real Estate Markets in my lifetime, I am surprised by all the “opportunities” that exist. 

I know you have heard it before, but it is time to BUY, BUY, BUY!  Financing is still strong.  In fact, there are several counties where buyers can still get 100% financing.  Interest rates are at an all time LOW.  If you have a rate of 6% – you need to refinance.  If you have a “jumbo” loan – consider paying it down to conforming limits and save yourself thousands in interest payments!  Jumbo borrowers also need to consider local, “smaller” banks for financing.  They have creative ways of moving your money around in IRA’s, SEP’s, etc – in order to qualify you at conforming prices.
