You’ll want to have an accepted offer no later than mid-October. That leaves us only a handful of weekends to get you preapproved by a mortgage lender and find the right first home for you. Let's get started today!!! Call me!!!!



If you are, or if you know someone who might be a first time home buyer - now is the the time buy. Please contact me and let's find the house for you.

Jacksonville's Tall Ship Festival

The Jacksonville's tall ship festival sailed into downtown Jacksonville on the river walk and went out with a bang. The beautiful tall ships were on display from the Hyatt Regency hotel past the Landing and ended at the Times Union Center. The tall ships were amazing to view and this year the tall ship "Bounty" was on display for anyone to see at no cost. The "Bounty" is a replica tall ship that was used in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean." Pirates, parrots and land lovers all came together for a weekend of fun and finished with a spectacular fireworks display.

Buy Now

I am planning a first time homebuyers seminar. There has never been a better time to buy a home. When has a first time buyer ever gotten an $8,000 tax credit? Prices are down, interest rates are low, and inventory is big. Why would anyone wait?

Housing Market

Some economist say the market has hit bottom. It is amazing to me that we can get a few words and things seem to change - just as it did before things went downward. But the good news is: Housing sales have been up as well as prices over the last month in Northeast Florida - a very good sign for sellers. Another good thing for homeowners needing to sell is that the inventory of new homes is shrinking.
