When considering which flag to share for the June Challenge, I thought it fitting to share a post of something sustainable.  After all, the American flag has been a sustainable "institution" since it was established as a national Flag on June 14, 1777.   Sustainability is a 3 legged stool, People, Profit and Planet.  Since the American flag sustains us, it is a faction of sustainability.   Fire Station #2 is the first fire station in the US to be certified as LEED Platinum in 2009.  Platinum is the highest level of LEED certification available.  This fire station was an urban in-fill project and was designed by LEA Architects.  Fire Station #2 has won many awards for it's design as well as it's capability for active and passive features.   LEED Certification includes the following featu... 06/24/2022

También marcaron el comienzo del mercado inmobiliario más activo registrado, con un aumento de los precios de las viviendas a nivel nacional de casi un 19 % en 2021, impulsado principalmente por las bajas tasas interés hipotecarias y una gran escasez de inventario.1Pero mientras algunos esperaban que 2022 trajese un regreso a la normalidad, el mercado inmobiliario de EE. UU. continúa en auge, a pesar del aumento de las tasas de interés y la disminución de la asequibilidad.Entonces, ¿qué está impulsando esta demanda persistente? ¿Y hay un final a la vista?Aquí hay tres factores que afectan el mercado inmobiliario en este momento.

Even though it is important to think about your down payment, your monthly mortgage payment, and the total amount of the loan, there are other expenses that you might need to cover as well.

What is private mortgage insurance and how much do you have to pay? There are several important points that you should keep in mind. Why You Might Purchase PMI Private mortgage insurance is something that the lender may ask you to purchase as a way to reduce their risk. If you do not make a sizable down payment, then the lender is respon... 06/24/2022

Buying real estate and or taking out a home loan is a significant milestone in life. Frequently, it means that a new phase is starting, whether it’s a new job, a new relationship, or moving to a new area. However, when the most basic steps are missed, this transition can be fraught with stress and disaster. To ensure a smooth transaction, home buyers should be sure to mind the following tips.#1: Always Be HonestHonesty and clear communication need to be a two-way street.

Fortunately, there is a way for people to update their home without spending any money out of pocket. Refinance The Home And Free Up Some CashThe first option the people need to consider is the opportunity to refinance the home while a... 06/24/2022

I'm thrilled to have partnered with this homeowner on the sale of their home. With solid planning and preparation, we addressed the most important items to ready this home for market. Our impressive presentation resulted in multiple offers and sold well over asking.    Buyers loved this adorable, single, story, because it lives larger with the bonus of high ceilings, a light filled open layout with clean lines and sprawling, wide plank, ceramic wood look flooring.    The amazing top-of the line kitchen caught everyone’s eye as they could visualize cooking up a storm for family and friends.     What’s not to love with the columns with crown molding, a separate office/study, and bedrooms in the mother-in-law configuration, with the primary bedroom tucked away to the back of the home for u... 06/24/2022

When you initially start shopping for a home mortgage, you may be drawn to advertisements for ultra-low interest rates. These may be rates that seem too good to be true, and you may gladly contact the lender or mortgage company to complete your loan application. However, the unfortunate truth is that all too often, mortgage applicants are unpleasantly surprised and even disheartened to learn that they do not qualify for the advertised interest rate. By learning more about the factors that influence your interest rate, you may be able to structure you loan in a more advantageous way.Your Credit RatingOne of the most important factors that influence an interest rate is your credit score. Lenders have different credit score requirements, but most have a tiered rating system. Those with exc... 06/24/2022

When applying for a new home mortgage, many loan applicants initially consider applying for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. This is perhaps the most common and traditional type of mortgage available. It allows you to enjoy the opportunity to pay for your home over the course of 30 years with equal payments every month. While this is one option, there are actually multiple choices available. For some applications, a variable rate mortgage may be more advantageous. If you are comparing the options between a fixed rate and a variable rate mortgage, you may consider a few points.A Lower Initial Interest RateWhen you compare the fixed rate and variable rate options, you will immediately notice that the variable rates have a lower start rate. The interest rate will influence the mortgage payme... 06/24/2022
