🚨 A draft executive order could lower housing costs:

🏠 Refinances: fewer LLPAs, expanded appraisal and title insurance waivers, no income re-verification on rate-and-term refis

💰 All homeowners: automatic mortgage insurance cancellation and lower VA/USDA rates

It’s a draft, not law yet.

Someone tried to scam me this week. 🚩

They asked for a virtual meeting and offered to “send the link.” Fake meeting links are one of the newest ways fraudsters get into your computer, and from there they go after your email, your accounts, and your closing funds.

A few habits that protect you:

✅ Don’t click links or attachments you weren’t expecting
✅ Confirm wiring instructions by calling a number you already have, never the one in the email
✅ Be skeptical of urgency, because scammers want you rushing

Buying a home is one of the biggest transactions of your life. Slow down, verify, then act.

22% of sellers just cut their price 🚨 That’s a record.

Buyers have leverage again: price drops, seller credits, closing cost help, even seller-paid rate buydowns.

But cancellations are at a 2020-level high. Win this market by showing up fully approved, not just pre-qualified.

DM me “READY” and let’s get you set up 📲

First-time homebuyer? You could qualify for a lower rate than repeat buyers and higher earners. 🏡
If your household income is at or below 120% of your area’s median income, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac waive the pricing fees that normally push rates up. Your credit score and down payment don’t raise your rate the way they usually would.
Income limits include:
📍 San Francisco: $174,700
📍 Los Angeles & Orange County: $138,120
📍 San Diego: $157,080
That’s more income than most people expect, and it can mean real savings every month. Most buyers don’t even know this exists. 👀
DM me “FIRST HOME” and I’ll check whether you qualify in about 5 minutes.

☀️ Solar panels: cute on the roof, sneaky in escrow. ☀️

Before you panic about a solar subordination, ask one simple question:
Is the lien on the house… or just the panels? 🏠 vs. 🔆

If it’s only on the fixtures (the equipment itself), you may not need a subordination or temporary lien release at all. 🙌

That’s weeks of waiting, extra fees, and back-and-forth with the solar company you could skip entirely, just by reading the fine print. 📄🔍

Realtors, loan officers, buyers & sellers: save this one for your next solar deal! 📌

The headlines are everywhere: mortgage rates just hit their highest level in over a year.

Here’s the irony: most borrowers take the first rate they’re offered because they don’t know who to call to compare.

As a mortgage broker, I shop 200+ lenders to find a competitive rate. One call, many options.

🏡 Buyers: DM me for your options and a 2-minute quote.
🤝 Realtors: Have a client who’s rate-sensitive? Have them reach out, or DM me their contact info and I’ll take great care of them.

Buying in today’s market? Here are 2 things I’d do if I were in your shoes:

1️⃣ Get an iron-clad pre-approval. Not a quick prequal, but a fully underwritten approval. It tells the seller you’re serious and can put you in a position to shorten your contingencies, or even waive some, which makes your offer stand out. (Every situation is different, so talk with your agent about which contingencies make sense to adjust for you.)

2️⃣ Make an aggressive (but respectful) offer. There’s room to negotiate right now. Come in strong on price without insulting the seller, so the conversation stays open.

I’ve spent 13+ years helping buyers win the right home on the right terms. If this was helpful, follow for more real-world tips on buying and financing a home. 🏡

The 3 questions I get asked every single week 👇

1️⃣ Is it a good time to buy?
2️⃣ What are your rates?
3️⃣ Can you match a competitor?

My honest answers are in the video. Spoiler: the best time to buy depends on your plan, not the headlines. 🏡

Beach life under $450k? It still exists 🏠🌊

This updated 2bd/1.5ba condo sits in a boutique 7-unit community minutes from Mission Bay. It was just reduced to $425k. The HOA covers water, trash, and exterior maintenance and there’s even storage room for your surfboards.

Why does 7 units matter? Conventional financing does not need to approve the HOA which is HUGE!

Comment PAYMENT and I’ll DM you rate options and full property details.
