When we combine both attitudes and skills, we have created very strong talents that hopefully lead to strong relationships.Steadiness is more of an attitude.  To be steady means not to panic when clients read for example an inspection report filled with numerous repair items.Remember, slow and steady wins ...

I work hard to help everyone who wants to buy, sell or rent a home. It is what I do.  Please feel free to share my contact information with anyone who might have a question.  Buying or Selling a property is among the most stressful business actions you might take on.  I can help take some of the stress off the plate for you.  I just like talking about business,  it is not about me.  It is all about you.  Lets chat and see if we are a good fit for each other.

Mortgage rates continued to move lower last week, but that was mostly due to the "risk-off" trade (selling stocks & buying bonds/gold).  Rates are in the 6% range and that makes lots of folks more comfortable with their monthly expenses.  Still, the lower PCE inflation report and weaker ADP job growth could open the door to more Fed rate cuts.Hope you enjoy my latest update on national & local real estate!#housingmarket #realestatenews #housingmarketupdates #realestatemarket #mortgage #realestate #whatsupwithrealestate
