Do you know the difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officer?

Both professionals can help you secure a loan, but mortgage brokers are intermediaries between buyers and banks, while loan officers work directly for the bank. Here’s why that matters.

Mortgage brokers:
💰Can help you find the best loan types and rates across multiple institutions.
💰Offer customized assistance if your situation is more complex, for example, if you’re self-employed.
💰Smooth the process by communicating with the lender on your behalf.

Loan officers:
💰Can only help you secure a loan from their institution.
💰Sometimes offer reduced fees and may offer access to down payment assistance programs.
💰Extend a personal connection to the bank that may be useful for future issues or loans.

Whether you choose to work with a mortgage broker or loan officer, it’s important to shop around for the best deal. We can share a list of trusted professionals in our network who offer our clients VIP service.

October 16-20 is School Bus Safety Week. Follow these tips while driving to keep the students in your community safe!

🚌 Stay alert whenever there’s a bus in the area — remember, children may not look before running into the street.

🚌 Keep a safe distance when driving behind a bus, and expect frequent stops.

🚌 Stop when a school bus flashes red lights or extends its stop sign, no matter which direction you’re driving.

🚌 Remember that buses take longer to stop and have a wider turning radius than cars.

🚌 Be aware that buses must stop at all railroad crossings whether or not crossing signals are on.

Only real estate agents can add properties to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) — and there are major benefits to having your home listed.

✅ Visibility to buyer’s agents.
Since the MLS includes more detailed and up-to-date information than online aggregators like Zillow, real estate agents use it to find potential homes for their clients.

✅ More qualified potential buyers.
Because the MLS is used by buyer’s agents, you’re more likely to draw in serious shoppers — not just curious onlookers.

✅ Placement on more listing websites.
MLS listings are automatically syndicated on hundreds of real estate websites, which means greater exposure for your home.

If you work with us to sell your home, we’ll place your listing on the MLS, but that’s only the start of our marketing efforts. Reach out for a copy of our multi-step property marketing plan or to schedule a free consultation.

DIY home projects can lead to big savings — but it’s better to leave some tasks to the pros. Here are some of the best and worst projects to tackle yourself.

Best DIYs:

🖌️ Painting. Interior painting is manageable for many people with patience and the right supplies.

💡 Replacing simple fixtures. Light fixtures, shower heads, and doorknobs are often simple to swap out.

📱 Installing smart gadgets. Wireless doorbells, locks, and more often come with easy-to-follow instructions.

Worst DIYs:

🔌 Electrical work. The risk of fire from faulty wiring far outweighs any cost savings.

🛀 Adding a bath or shower. Leaks from poor plumbing can seriously damage your home.

🔨 Installing carpet or flooring. You might end up with an uneven floor or gaps that let in drafts and moisture.

Buying a home is a major financial decision—so it’s not surprising that overspending is one of the top homebuyer regrets.

Avoid this common mistake with these 3 tips:

💸Get preapproved for a mortgage. Complete the process before you begin your search so you know what’s within reach.

💸Shop around for a lender. Getting a few different rate quotes can save you thousands over the long run.

It started with a text on March 4th-

“Hi Coach are you still doing real estate? “🏡

This market has been unfair to First Time Home Buyers. Consistently getting outbid and having to come back to the drawing board. Patience and Consistency is 🔑 when working with a budget. I’m so happy for my client to be a Home Owner now 🎉

Also, a huge THANK YOU to for answering EVERY ☎️ for walking my client through the PROCESS, and just simply GETTING IT DONE ✅ You we’re the REAL MVP in this deal. Appreciate you and your services dearly 😊
