So you did the right thing. You were able to get pre-approved for financing and everyone tells you it is as good as buying with cash. Then you start looking at houses and your agent tells you that the property you want to see is ineligible for the type of financing you are approved for….
It’s smart, it’s legal, it varies with loan products, but a full seller assist (seller credit, seller concession, etc) may not be possible with certain properties. Before they met me, a client wanted to purchase a foreclosure in Montgomery County, PA. They were approved for a mortgage, they had the down payment, but their real…

I get this question frequently…exactly who can go on the deed to a property in Montgomery County PA. The answer is relatively simple….anyone!
Change, the one constant in life. Especially in the world of mortgages! I remember when we had “mirror-test” underwriting. Hold a mirror up to the borrower’s nose & if it fogs up, they get a loan! Well, those days are gone, as they should be. But unfortunately, certain regulators feel the way to correct things…
Over 18 years in this business and I set a new record, just $9.55 to buy a $225,000 home! No joke, Chris and Delia were able to buy a twin home in Harleysville with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a finished basement, and fenced-in back yard for just $9.55 out of pocket!
Happy New Year! Here we are at the end of another year in Montgomery County. So how did the real estate market fair this year? Check out this end of year wrap-up video for the details.
I think that we can all agree that this is the best time in history to buy a home. However, one of the main stumbling blocks in being able to do so is coming up with some savings for a down payment and/or closing costs. Although there are ways to buy a home with no…
We have been taught that when you see something that seems too good to be true, it usually is. Most of the time this is the case,however, this one is REAL! You see the advertisements about how you can buy a home with $0 money down, but you hear the media talk about how hard…
The zip code was 19450. The town is called Mainland. Situate between Towamencin and Harleysville on Sumneytown Pike, Route 63, just off of exit 31 of the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike, this quaint, cozy little village had a daily traffic count of 22,000 cars a day. Pretty good exposure for a small town….
We have all heard the negative news in the housing market. However, locally, things are not bad at all. See for yourself in this Market Update. The fact is, if you are considering moving up to a larger home, there may not be a better time!
Do you watch the news? All that you see about housing these days is how horrible the real estate market is. Why does everyone always focus on the negative? Oh yeah, ratings. They prey on the bads news; maybe in some weird way it makes us feel better about ourselves. However, what is happening in…
Do you think women are smarter than men? Well, according to Harvard’s Joint Study for Housing Studies, I may have to somewhat agree with that statement.

It was 1994, gas was $1.09, Tonya Harding won the figure skating championship after attacking Nancy Kerrigan, interest rates were 8.5%, and I was just starting my career in real estate. Without having any idea of what I was doing, I walked into my first sales meeting at the beautiful Manor House in the village…
I just got done showing a home to a first-time home buyer, a single father and his three little girls. There are many things that we take for granted, and this one little girl helped me to remember those thing in order to appreciate them again. In an economy where many are complaining about their…
Here we go again! More mortgage changes coming to the industry, for the worse. Unfortunately, the former mirror test underwriting (mirror under nose, fogged up, approved!) that was offered a few years ago is now punishing those who actually want to buy a house now. The latest changes are coming soon, to the absolute best…
