I know life gets busy.

Between work, family and everything else on your schedule, finding time to meet during the typical 8-to-5 workday isn’t always easy.

That’s why I’m happy to meet with clients in the evenings and on weekends. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and I want the process to work around your schedule.. not the other way around!

I genuinely love what I do and helping families become homeowners is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or you’re ready to make an offer, my team and I are here to help every step of the way.

Call or text me at 209-564-8641 and let’s find a time that works for you.

📊 MARKET UPDATE WITH JOE 🏡

A lot has changed in the market over the last few months. Before the Iran war began on February 28, interest rates were sitting around 5.99%. Today (filmed May 13), rates are 6.57%.

So what does that mean for buyers?

We’re seeing a noticeable slowdown in the market, which is creating more opportunities for homebuyers. Homes are staying on the market longer, price reductions are becoming more common and sellers are offering credits to help buyers get into homes.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to buy, this could actually work in your favor. Don’t let today’s interest rates scare you. History has shown there may be opportunities to refinance down the road. Like the saying goes: You marry the house, not the rate!

Before you make an offer, you need to get pre-approved so you know your buying power and can move confidently when the right home comes along.

📞 Give me or my office a call to get started, or click the link in my bio to begin your application and securely upload your documents right from your phone. In many cases, we can get you pre-approved in just a couple of hours.

Helping first-time buyers become homeowners is always special… however hearing that the experience felt smooth, exciting and supported every step of the way means everything!

At TEAM STEFANI, we believe buying a home should feel personal. Clear communication, honest guidance and making sure our clients feel confident throughout the process is what we’re all about.

Thank you for trusting us with such an important milestone and allowing us to be part of your journey to homeownership. Moments like this are exactly why we love what we do.

I am usually a very private person and do not post a lot about my personal life, but after a life-changing few weeks, I’m grateful to say I’m back in the office and doing what I love: helping families become homeowners.

In late April, I suffered a heart attack that completely changed my perspective. What I first thought might be something minor turned out to be far more serious. After speaking with my primary care physician, Dr. Brandon Boggs , he urged me to head to CRMC in Fresno immediately, a decision that ultimately saved my life.

I’m incredibly thankful for Dr. Boggs, the medical team at CRMC, and for all the prayers, messages, support and check-ins over the last several weeks. It truly meant the world to me and my family!

This experience reminded me how important it is to appreciate every day, and never take our health or the people around us for granted.

Now it’s time to get back to work, and I’m excited to continue helping people achieve the dream of homeownership with TEAM STEFANI by their side every step of the way.

If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or just have questions about the process, my team and I are here and ready to help.

Weekends are a great time to check out open houses and start looking at homes, but before you step inside a house, it’s important to know your buying power.

Getting pre-approved helps you understand your budget, feel confident in your search and be ready when it’s time to make an offer.

I’ll be working this weekend, and it’s the perfect time to sit down, go over your options and get pre-approved. Already pre-approved with me and out shopping? Give me a call and let’s run numbers so you feel confident before putting in an offer.

Ready to apply? Click the link in my bio to start your application and securely upload your documents, you can do the entire process right from your phone.

If you’d like to schedule a time to come in or just have questions about the process, call or text me anytime at 209-564-8641.
