I sat down with Jose Barreto to go over the new guidelines for condos on the DMV Roundtable podcast.

With a condominium, there are really two things being approved — you and the condo project. And the rules around the condo side have gotten stricter.

That doesn't mean condos are bad or hard to finance. It just means it's a good idea to get your lender involved early.

If you're looking at a condo, we're always happy to take a look before you get too far down the road.

Realtor friends, here's a program that's worth keeping on your radar.

Qualified first-time home buyers in Montgomery County MD may be eligible for up to $50,000 in down payment assistance.

If you have a client who stepped out of the market last year because they couldn't make the numbers work, it may be worth taking another look.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk through the program or see if you have home buyers already in your pipeline who qualify.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for John Walowac by Monica T - We had an outstanding experience working with John and his team—twice, first for our home purchase and later for our refinance.

John is incredibly thorough, honest, patient, and responsive. He took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure we understood our options and felt comfortable with every decision. We never felt rushed or pressured.

His team at Yi Team, especially Christa and several others, was equally exceptional. They were organized, proactive, and kept everything moving seamlessly from start to finish.

Buying or refinancing a home can be stressful, but John and his team made the entire process smooth and efficient. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mortgage team.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for John Walowac by Andrzej P - This review is about John Walowac. If you planning to buy a property and shopping for a new loan, stop looking. You can go with John with no hesitation. Along with his assistant Christa, they have created the most effective duo you could imagine. First of all John is very honest and straightforward. Excellent market knowledge and clarity makes him a partner you want to work with. He and Christa who is so organized and responsive create a team that helps to go smoothly through the process of getting your loan. We did 2 new loans and 1 refinancing. All transactions went very well and and very smooth.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for John Walowac by Bianca H - We had a wonderful experience working with John during the purchase of our home. One of the things we appreciated most was how incredibly responsive he was throughout the entire process. No matter the time or day, John was always quick to answer our questions, provide updates, and guide us through each step. Buying a home can be stressful, but his communication, professionalism, and dedication made the process feel much smoother and less overwhelming. We always felt informed and supported from start to finish. We are so grateful for all of his hard work and highly recommend John to anyone looking for a lender who truly cares about their clients!!

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for John Walowac by Dev S - John helped me navigate my latest home purchase in Northern Virginia. My situation was admittedly somewhat complicated given how much had changed in my life between my last home purchase and this one - marital status, employment, you name it. John was very communicative, empathetic, and supportive throughout my homebuying journey and provided insights that helped me land on decisions that my family and I felt comfortable making. I felt like a valued client from day 1 (starting with our initial conversation happening late evening on a Friday!) all the way through move-in (and beyond)! I would certainly recommend John to anyone exploring homebuying and would certainly work with John again in the future if my life circumstances change and I'm interested in buying a home again in the near future!

Planted these months ago. Nice reminder that some things take time.
