Just closed on a home? 🏡 Check your mailbox.

Companies send official-looking “Recorded Deed Notices” asking new homeowners to pay $100+ for a copy of their deed. We’ve seen them ask $105 and $128 for the same thing.

Here’s the truth: it’s not a bill, and it’s not from the county. Your deed is public record. Whether you’re in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk or anywhere else, you can usually look it up for free on your county Clerk or Recorder’s website. Swipe for the 3 steps 👉

Save this, and send it to someone who just bought a home!

The Fed meets tomorrow 🏦 But here’s the thing most people get wrong: the Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates.

Mortgage rates follow the bond market, especially the 10-year Treasury. That’s why rates sometimes move before the Fed announces anything, or even go the opposite direction afterward.

Rates eased slightly last week heading into the meeting. If you’re buying or refinancing in the next few months, now’s a good time to understand your lock options so you’re not reacting to headlines.

👻 Halloween’s this week, but the scariest thing we hear isn’t ghosts. It’s mortgage myths that keep people renting longer than they need to.

Swipe to see 5 myths we bust all the time:
1️⃣ “You need 20% down”
2️⃣ “My credit has to be perfect”
3️⃣ “Pre-qualified = pre-approved”

5️⃣ “I should wait for the perfect time”

Inflation came in hotter than expected this morning, and that matters if you’re buying a home. 📈

The September CPI report showed prices up 3.7% over the past year, compared with 3.4% in August. Gas prices did most of the damage. When inflation runs hot, bond yields tend to rise, and mortgage rates follow them.

That doesn’t mean you should hit pause on your plans. It means you should have a plan. Get pre-approved, understand how a rate lock works, and know your options before you fall in love with a house.

The Fed meets again October 27–28. Thinking about buying or refinancing in Tampa Bay? Send me a DM and let’s talk through lock vs. float for your situation. 👇

Fixed rate or adjustable? 🤔 With rates where they are, more buyers are asking about ARMs. Many people avoid them without knowing how they actually work.

An ARM gives you a fixed rate for the first several years, then adjusts within set limits. For the right buyer, it can mean a lower payment upfront and more room in the budget.

Swipe through for the basics, and save this for later 📌

Have questions about whether an ARM fits your plans? Send me a message and let’s run the numbers together.

Bought a home in Florida (or planning to)? Don’t leave money on the table. 🏡

The Florida Homestead Exemption can take about $50,000 off your home’s taxable value, and Save Our Homes caps how fast your assessment can rise after that. But it’s not automatic. You have to apply.

📅 Own and live in the home by January 1
📝 File with your county property appraiser by March 1
🔁 Renews automatically once you’re approved

Thinking about buying before the new year? Moving in by December 31 could mean savings on your 2027 tax bill. DM me and let’s talk timing. 👇

Your mortgage payment is only part of the story. 🏡

Here in Tampa Bay, insurance, flood coverage, property taxes, HOA fees, and closing costs can change your budget more than most buyers expect. The best time to plan for them is before you start touring homes, not after you’re under contract.

Swipe through to see what to budget for, then send me a message. I’ll help you figure out your true monthly cost so you can shop with confidence. 👉

40 pages of documents. Every signature. Every statement. And then… “Please provide a letter of explanation for the $20 Venmo from 4 months ago.” 😭

Underwriting is thorough, but a good loan officer gets ahead of it. We review your documents upfront so there are fewer surprises before closing. Tip: avoid moving money around or making large cash deposits while you’re in the mortgage process. 🏡

Mortgage rates just crossed 7% for the first time since early 2025. 📈

That headline is scaring a lot of buyers off, but it’s only half the story. Here in Tampa Bay, buyers have more homes to choose from and more room to negotiate than they’ve had in years. That can mean seller-paid closing costs, rate buydowns, and a better deal overall.

The right move depends on your numbers, not the headlines. Send us a message and let’s walk through your options.
