One of the charities the Timber Greens Veterans Group supports is K9 Partners for Patriots — they take dogs from shelters and train them as service dogs for veterans. From shelter to service.

On the screen is Leo. His veteran, Autumn, says between K9 Partners for Patriots, Leo, and her family, she found her confidence again — she finished her Bachelor's and her Master's at Saint Leo University in two years, and Leo pranced across the stage with her at graduation. She calls him “my savior.”

That's the kind of work this group puts its weight behind, and I'm proud to be in the room.

At the Timber Greens Veterans Group meeting this morning. Today's presenter is a home healthcare agency — the kind of resource every veteran and their family should know about before they need it. Good room, good people, and always an honor to spend time with folks who served.

FSBO series, part 3: "So I don't need a realtor?"

I'm not going to tell you that. A good buyer's agent earns their keep every day — negotiating, catching problems, keeping the deal on track.

But if you're buying for-sale-by-owner, here's what you absolutely cannot skip: a real estate attorney, a title company you trust, and somebody who's seen enough contracts to spot the traps. The attorney writes the contract right. The title company makes sure you actually own what you're buying. And I make sure the loan side is bulletproof.

Skip the agent if you want — but don't skip the team. 727-688-2851. Debbie Cooley-Guy, NMLS #210817

Before the workday starts, this is my quiet place — my little art studio, coffee in my favorite mug: “Let all that you do be done in Love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)

This morning I was layering an old hymn page — “Faith Is a Mighty Fortress” — into a journal piece. Slow work, by hand, one layer at a time.

People ask what a mortgage broker does for fun. This. And it's not a bad motto for the day job either: let all that you do be done in love.

Self-employed? Thinking about buying a house next year? Read this before you do your taxes.

Here's what most self-employed buyers don't find out until it's too late: when you apply for a mortgage, the lender goes by the income on your tax returns — after all your write-offs.

Write off everything to save on taxes, and on paper it looks like you barely earned anything. Then the lender says you don't qualify for the house you can actually afford.

So do it in the right order:

1. Get prequalified BEFORE you file.
2. Tell your accountant you're planning to buy a house.
3. File showing the income you actually need to qualify.

It might cost you a little more in taxes this year. It could be the difference between getting the house and getting turned down.

Self-employed and thinking about buying next year? Call me before tax time — not after: 727-688-2851. Debbie Cooley-Guy, NMLS #210817

FSBO series, part 2: Yes, you can get a mortgage on a for-sale-by-owner home.

The loan works exactly the same as any other purchase. Your lender doesn't care whether the seller has an agent. You still need a signed contract, an appraisal, and clean title work.

What changes is who's watching the details. No listing agent means nobody's double-checking deadlines, paperwork, or the fine print — unless you bring your own people. That's the title company, and somebody who's read a few thousand contracts.

That's me. Buying FSBO? Call me first: 727-688-2851. Debbie Cooley-Guy, NMLS #210817

Most people don't know this: you can use a reverse mortgage to BUY a home. It's called HECM for Purchase — you put down part of the price, the reverse mortgage covers the rest, and there are no required monthly mortgage payments. Great option for downsizing or moving closer to family in retirement. Want to know if it fits your situation? Call me: 727-688-2851. Debbie Cooley-Guy, NMLS #210817
