I cannot stress enough how important your credit score is when buying a home. It can affect the loan options available to you, your interest rate, mortgage insurance costs, and ultimately your monthly payment.

If buying a home is in your future, know your score and learn how to protect it. These four habits can help you build and maintain stronger credit.

Perception: Many renters believe they cannot afford a home or qualify for a mortgage because of high prices, interest rates, and common lending myths.

Reality: You may not need 20% down or perfect credit. Some loan programs allow as little as 3% to 5% down, while eligible VA and USDA buyers may qualify for 0% down.

Before ruling yourself out of homeownership, let’s explore your options. Then you’ll know where you stand, and we can put a plan in place to help get you into a new home.

Most homebuyers have heard of the more common loan options, such as Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans. But those are only the beginning.

Depending on your goals and circumstances, another loan product may be a better fit:

🏗️ One-Time Close Construction Loans
🔨 Renovation Loans
🏡 Jumbo Loans
📈 DSCR Loans for Investment Properties

Choosing a mortgage is not just about finding the lowest rate. It is about finding the right financing strategy for the home you want and your unique financial situation.

That is where I come in. As your Mortgage Loan Originator, I will take the time to understand your goals, explain the available options, and help you identify the loan product that best fits your needs.

Thinking about buying, building, renovating, or investing? Let’s talk about what may be possible.

Note: Loan approval and program eligibility are subject to applicable guidelines and borrower qualification.

🏡 House hunting is fun. You know what’s less fun?

Falling in love with a house and THEN figuring out your budget. 😬

So before you start window shopping for your new home, get pre-approved! It’s basically the “know before you go” of home shopping.

THEN you can hit Zillow and start checking out all those amazing homes! 👀🏡

Give me a shout and let’s get you ready to house hunt! 🔑

Looking for something to do before school starts?

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is offering Buy One, Get One FREE admission throughout the month of August! 🌿

If you haven't been recently, this is a great excuse to go. I know it's hot 🥵, so I'd recommend getting there early while it's a little cooler. It's a beautiful place to spend a few hours.

Also, FWBG recently earned accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums, which is really cool to have right here in Fort Worth. This recognition places the Garden among a small group of nationally recognized institutions dedicated to conservation, education, and living collections.

Check out the attached article to learn more, and if you decide to visit, let me know what you think!

FWBG has officially earned accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums, one of the rarest national distinctions for public gardens especially. AAM recognizes botanic gardens as specialized museums, institutions built around living collections, conservation, and public education, held to the same rigorous standards as art and history museums.

Between the Garden’s work and the research and collections at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, we’ve joined a small national circle that includes the Chicago Botanic Garden, the United States Botanic Garden, and the New York Botanical Garden.

Celebrate with us all August: every guest gets buy-one-get-one-free admission 🌺

Recently, a strip mall in our neighborhood was used as a filming location for Frisco King, the upcoming spinoff of Taylor Sheridan's Memphis King! It was cool watching them transform the stores and street signs for the show. I walked Louie up there several times hoping he would be spotted and put into one of the scenes! 😄 These street signs normally say Trail Lake Dr and Wedgmont Cir, but were changed for the show.
