If you're looking for a home in Texas but don’t have a social security number, an ITIN mortgage loan could be just what you need! These loans are designed specifically for people like you, making it possible to secure financing without the hassle of needing a US Visa.So, what’s the deal with ITIN loan requirements? First, you’ll need to show that you’ve got some steady employment—two years' worth will do. If you're self-employed, no worries! Just provide your bank statements or tax returns to prove your income. You’ll also need your last two years of tax returns along with W2s or 1099s.When it comes to down payments, aim for at least 15%. Plus, having a decent credit report helps; if not, three alternative credit references (like utility bills or rent payments) can work too! Don’t forge... 11/18/2024

Every morning I send out a text message to my real estate team. I typically include the current national interest rate for average credit from one of the major lenders. Today it was 6.25% by the way. Today was a bit different. I glanced at our websites home page and viewed the dynamic market chart it renders. Something really grabbed my attention. The ratio of listings to listings with price reductions. I have included the data for easier reference. We have 53% of active listings with at least one price reduction.This data shows a dramatic change in our local market. We have either over priced our homes or have encountered a dramatic shift in sales prices. This is requiring sellers to adjust their prices to a downward moving target.A good listing agent always incorporates historical dat... 10/03/2024

As a resident of Celina Tx and a real estate broker, I absolutely love giving tours of my (formerly small) north Texas town. Lately the country is finding out about this amazing town where the locals quietly live.The national press, the home building associations, real estate agents, and even Realtor.com are talking about little Celina Tx.Many times, they are focused on what was originally a thoroughbred horse ranch owned by the former mayor of Dallas. Today, it has been reimagined into a stunning luxury neighborhood with many top local builders.It was voted one of the best master planned neighborhoods in DFW, one of the top amenity centers in the USA and one of the best values in home ownership due to quality and price appreciation.Now add in the fact that this stunning neighborhood is... 09/30/2024

The U.S. Census Bureau states that North Texas is home to 5 of the 15 fastest growing cities in the United States. It is not a surprise to the locals who are watching family owned farms and ranches rapidly turn into master planned neighborhoods. In case you are interested, here are the 5 cities they mentioned: Celina (26%) Princeton (22%) Anna (17%) Prosper (11%) Forney (10%) Why Is North Texas Growing So Fast?If you ask 10 local real estate agents, you are likely to get 11 different answers. Most of them will probably give you a list that includes a couple of the following reasons: the economy the weather local schools low crime rates friendly people The 400 pound jalapeño in the room is our ability to be friends with our neighbors that may have different political opinions from our ow... 09/26/2024

Is it time for a move to a place where small-town charm meets the conveniences of a vibrant city? Then let me introduce you to the small Texas town of Celina Texas. Recently named the fastest growing town in the US, Celina won't be considered a small town much longer.Arriving In TexasOnce you land at DFW International airport you are a quick 40 minute drive to the historic district or 'heart' of Celina. Keep in mind, our highways and roads are pretty amazing here in Texas. They should be, since we spend tons of money every year on them.Starting The TourWe love to give personal tours of Celina to our out of town clients. We always start out in the historical downtown area. Depending on who we are helping, we grab a coffee, some BBQ, or some candy from one of the following: Summer Moon Co... 09/25/2024
