⚡ Remember to recharge your batteries⚡

Last month, I was lucky enough to go on an amazing vacation in Europe with my wife. At some point during the trip (maybe during this canal boat tour in Amsterdam!), I realized that it was probably the first time that I'd taken a full two weeks off in years... possibly in my whole career! It was a great reminder that disconnecting and taking a break from work is important for your brain. I returned feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever life throws my way.

One of the most rewarding moments of my career involved renovating a historic Denver home 🔨🏠

There are a lot of hoops that you have to jump through before you can complete renovations on a property that has been designated as "historic." That means that it can be tricky to secure a construction loan.

It's important to have a trusted advisor to guide you through the process. If you're thinking of starting a project that might require a construction loan, I'd love to talk.

The timing isn't always perfect when you find your dream home. It's possible you may not have sold your old home yet.

Luckily, bridge loans exist for those exact circumstances.

Let's see if a bridge loan is right for you:

We're entering the fifth week of the season. 🏈 How are your fantasy football leagues doing? Here's a shot from my draft last month. We've had a mixed start, but I'm hoping to take the #1 spot again this year and get back to back championships!

I am so proud of my team. 🩵

These guys work so hard to make the process of buying a home as easy as possible for Coloradans, and I feel lucky to work with them.

If you are a Mortgage Loan Officer who might be interested in joining the team, I'll gladly talk to you about why Westerra is a great professional home. Send me a message or give me a call:

What Yesterday’s Fed Move Really Means for Mortgage Rates

The Fed raised rates yesterday.
So mortgage rates went up too…right?
Not necessarily.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that the Federal Reserve directly sets mortgage rates. It doesn’t.

The Fed controls a very short-term interest rate. Mortgage rates are influenced much more by the bond market, inflation expectations, and where investors believe the economy is headed.

That’s why you can sometimes see the Fed raise rates while longer-term interest rates actually improve.

For homebuyers, I think there’s an even more important takeaway:

Waiting for the “perfect” interest rate can mean waiting a very long time.
People usually don’t buy homes because mortgage rates reached a certain number.

They buy because life changes.
They get married. Families grow. Jobs change. People relocate. Kids need more room. Empty nesters decide they need less.

There’s no question that rates near 7% create affordability challenges, particularly with today’s home prices.
But that doesn’t mean buyers are without options.

This is where financing strategy becomes increasingly important — understanding seller concessions, temporary or permanent rate buydowns, different loan structures, and how each choice affects both the monthly payment and the long-term cost of the loan.

The conversation shouldn’t simply be:
“What’s today’s rate?”
A better question is:
“How do we structure the financing around what you’re trying to accomplish?”

After nearly 30 years in mortgage lending, I think that conversation matters more today than it has in a long time.
