My wife and I were born here in the Great Pacific Northwest and in our opinion one of the most dynamic places to live play and work in the world. My wife and I like road trips and a few years back we did our thing in Arizona and what we took from that is we want to go back!
I have been originating home loans for 22 years. I now can provide loans to my clients and to my friends that wish to "snow-bird" or live in the great State of Arizona. In addition, it has been my goal to conduct my business in the same fashion. Work in the winter in AZ and work in the Summer in WA.
Thanks to technology, I am a phone, website, fax or email away regardless of my location. I have staff to support me in both places so I am able to provide top notch service my clients have come to expect.
For those in Arizona, I want to introduce myself. Please call or email me and introduce yourself. Real estate is local and it has been a challenging market but it will not be like this forever and more importantly RATES will not be this low forever and in fact 20 years ago they were over 10% so some things could be worse!
If you live in Arizona and plan to RELOCATE to the State of Washington, CALL ME and I will roll out the RED CARPET. I will provide to you an experienced Real Estate Professional to familiarize you with our area and I will of course provide your options financially. This is offered to you no matter where you plan to live.
For my clients in Washington, I will continue to work hard for you. I'm only a "click" away to answer or refer to you like minded professionals you may need such as Realtors, CPA's or any other service you may have a need for.
If you live in Washington and plan to RELOCATE to the State of Arizona, I will roll out my RED CARPET and introduce to you an experienced Real Estate Professional to familiarize you with the wonderful communities no matter where you wish to live.
Despite the doom and gloom, if you work with a long time seasoned professional like myself in lending and work with a seasoned Real Estate Professional, you cannot go wrong. If you need a home, this is the time to buy. Real Estate is local and the future is bright for both Arizona and the State of Washington. You can't see that today but the smart set sees it and are out there finding value and purchasing it as we speak.
For those sifting through looking for some investment properties remember to be wise toward your investment and make sure you can afford to hold on to your investment. If you are seeking instant gratification on your investment real
estate is not for you!
Even though it may not "feel" like these are the good ol' days I encourage you to look around. Home prices are lower and rates couldn't be better. When the market turns around rates will be higher and how much home will you be able to buy then? Something to think about.
I look forward to working with all my clients in Washington and Arizona and look forward to meeting my new friends/clients in Arizona!
Rock n Roll.
(it's Friday...I couldn't resist)
