Our Holiday Wish For Everyone

December 23 2012

Blog Post 7: Sunday, December 23, 2012

The past 8 weeks has been filled with a wide range of national issues. Nationally, we’ve seen the Presidency remain unchanged; the phase “fiscal cliff” has become common place; gas prices have eased just as the holiday’s come around; Newtown has suddenly become a political reference point, not just a town or a tragedy; and there are many fiscal, emotional, and political questions we all face heading into 2013.

Being A Voice Of Kindness

October 15 2012

Blog Post 6: October 15, 2012

I was recently reminded just how ugly it is to spew negative comments.

Yours or Theirs

October 25 2011

It takes money to buy a home: yours or theirs. If you’re not going to pay cash for a home, you need to find out exactly what you can borrow and what it will cost before you start looking at homes.

 

The mortgage process is not as clear cut a path as it was a few years ago. It is certainly more complex, takes longer and assumes that you’re credit worthy. If you have less than stellar credit, a trusted …
