Michael is one of the best! He always brings a can do attitude to the team and really goes above and beyond for his clients. Thank you to Blacksburg Boxing and Fitness for giving him a well deserved call out!

We're excited to introduce one of our members and event sponsors, Michael Tagg, Real Estate Agent with The MR Real Estate Team in Blacksburg!

Michael is passionate about helping first-time homebuyers achieve their dream of homeownership. Here's a message from him:

"Hey Blacksburg Boxing family!

I'm Michael Tagg, and as a proud member of the gym and sponsor of this event, I wanted to share something that could change the game for anyone thinking about buying their first home.

Most first-time buyers in the NRV have NO IDEA they could qualify for $10,000, $15,000, or even $20,000+ in down payment and closing cost assistance.

I've partnered with Freedom First Credit Union to connect buyers with programs that can:

✅ Cover a huge chunk of your down payment
✅ Reduce closing costs
✅ Possibly lower your interest rate

If you (or someone you know) has been thinking "I can't afford to buy yet," this could be exactly what you need.

Want to see what you qualify for?

📱 Shoot me a text at (540) 518-0804 and I'll send you the complete list of programs available right now in our area—no strings attached.

Let's get you in a home!"

Thank you again Michael, for your support!

Guess what buttercups???

The Federal Reserve just lowered its benchmark interest rates by 0.25%, a move aimed at easing pressure on the economy amid signs of weakening in the labor market.

Here's what this means...

✔Lower borrowing costs
As banks adjust to the Fed’s rate cut, mortgage rates often come down too (or at least moderate). That means lower monthly payments or more buying power if you’re hunting in your price range.

✔More favorable refinancing opportunities
If rates move noticeably lower, homeowners with higher-rate mortgages might be able to refinance to reduce interest, shorten loan terms, or lower monthly costs.

✔Increased demand
Lower rates tend to bring more buyers into the market. That demand can stimulate more listings (as current owners see opportunities too), which may help ease supply constraints in some places.

What to keep an eye on:

✔Mortgage rate relief may lag
Mortgage rates don’t always fall immediately in lockstep with Fed rate cuts. Many banks and lenders have already priced in expectations of lower rates, so some of the benefit might already be reflected in current mortgage offers.

✔Home prices & supply still matter
Even though rates are going down, if inventory remains tight, the competition will stay high and prices may stay elevated. Lower rates help, but they don’t solve supply constraints.

✔Inflation & economics still risk factors
The Fed is balancing concerns: inflation is above target, and the labor market is showing signs of cooling. If inflation remains stubborn, that could affect long-term mortgage rates or slow further rate declines.

If you're looking to make a move—whether buying, refinancing, or upgrading—now could be a strong moment to run the numbers. We'd be happy to run some scenarios with you: compare current mortgage options, estimate savings, and help you figure out what makes sense in your area.
