Don't Forget To Request A Quick Status Report On Any Homes Or Properties That Interest You! It can take days, weeks, or longer for changes to appear on web sites. Don't waste your time with less than current information. Request my free Status Report and find out if the homes you are interested in are still on the market, under contract, in escrow, or if the price has been reduced. The Status Report that you'll receive by email will also include other important information that has been left out or that is available to me through my professional resources, such as how long the property has been on the market, when it was last sold, what it sold for, and more. Remember: As a Highlands Ranch, Parker and Denver area real estate agent, it's my job to know more about a property than any web site. Make sure you have the most current information!

Financing Your Home >Home Free
Conventional wisdom says, "Don't pay off your mortgage early." Are you foolish to consider an early payoff? Absolutely not! By adding just $50 to $100 to your mortgage payment every month, you can save thousands of dollars in interest, pay off your loan quicker, and eliminate a major monthly expense.
The argument usually given against paying off a mortgage early is that you can make investments with your extra cash, such as mutual funds, stocks or bonds, which pay higher returns. This approach enables you to take the mortgage interest deduction and have easy access to your money, in case you need it. These are all definite pluses, but are not guaranteed savings results.
Any extra income which an investment might generate above your home equity appreciation can be offset by a bad year in the investment market. Investment earnings can virtually eliminate the income tax advantage of your mortgage interest deduction, since stocks and bonds are likely to generate a fair amount of dividends, interest income and capital gains.
It isn't as simple as conventional wisdom--consult a financial expert.

When I first began my real estate career in 2001, I saw it as an opportunity to work with all kinds of people while helping them during one of the most important decisions in their lives, the purchase or sale of a home. Selling real estate has evolved into much more than just a business career: it is an experience I treasure everyday.
Patience balanced with perseverance is the approach I use with my clients in regards to their real estate needs. This involves taking the time to discover the client’s must have's plus their wish list while also educating them in all the details associated with buying and/or selling a home.
Aggressive negotating and a high level of professionalism are paramount in my business philosophy. With four full time agents and a full time assistant, you can rest assured your real estate needs will be taken care of!
