"Nobody has a crystal ball, but if rates do dip it's smart to have a plan if:

You've delayed buying.

You're currently locked in over 7% and want a lower monthly payment.

You've got high-interest debt that you'd love to roll into something smarter.

Shoot me a message if you want to map out a smart move when/if the window opens. "

Over Memorial Day weekend, I kept hearing. "Inventory is up!"
I showed them this chart and said:
"Yes, up from rock bottom… but still way below normal.
This is actually good for buyers. 30 offers a house was miserable for people."

"Real estate agents don’t get nearly enough credit.

As someone who works alongside agents every day, I just want to say: I see you and I appreciate your hustle.
You are part negotiator, part therapist, and full-time problem solver..
You always manage to make your clients feel like they're your only one.

Thank you!"

I'm getting questions on Rocket Mortgage buying Redfin. The way I view it is Rocket just paid 1.75 billion for online leads. I can't tell you how many horror stories I hear when clients get their realtors and lenders in the same online place. I will always put our local community mortgage needs first. Reach out if I can help.
