I am always working to provide the best service
First Class Service
As part of my goal to always be able to provide the best service to my clients I am always looking for ways to improve myself. Recently one of the things I did to accomplish this was to attend the VA & Military Real Estate Specialist course. The key components to this class are to gain a better understanding of how to guide military and veteran clients through the home ownership process, to learn how to identify who qualifies for a VA loan, how to help clients through the process of home buying and selling, plus some of the unique needs of the military and veteran client. Also, this class helps to identify other VAMRES REALTORS® and widen your networking reach. By earning this certification I hope to be able to better help my VA clients and their families.

US home sales rose to 5-year high in 2012
Great news from King5.com
WASHINGTON — U.S. sales of previously occupied homes rose in 2012 to their highest level in five years, spurred higher by record-low mortgage rates and steady hiring.
The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that sales reached 4.65 million last year. That’s up 9.2 percent from 2011 and the most since 2007. Sales are still below the roughly 5.5 million that are consistent with a healthy market.
Sales dipped in December to a pace of 4.94 million, down from 4.99 million in November. November’s figure was revised lower, but was still the highest in three years.
