As a Realtor with high degree of honesty, integrity and professionalism , I have assisted clients and customers in making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives. With over 25 years of extensive experience in all types of markets working with both sellers and buyers. I've seen lots of changes. Currently there are incredible opportunities for buyers and investors. Home prices are on the rise but there are still incredible deals coupled with low interest rates! Multifamily homes are also something to seriously look at. With the fall of values these have come down as well yet rents have remained strong giving the buyer or investor a much better cash flow on their investment. Call me now to discuss your options. Many banks are easing up on the lending making money more available to all types of buyers. Contact me today and let's discuss your real estate needs.
