Real Estate Blog

Hi Everyone:

Many new home buyers ask me "How much house can I buy?"  Well, it's a good question, but the REAL question should be "How much house SHOULD I buy?"  The recession has been awful for many people, including myself, but I think it was a good wake-up call for our "consumer based" society.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY COMMISSION.  OK, that might sound crazy, but in a way it's true.  I do care about earning a commission so I can pay bills, I just don't care how much it will be.  I would much rather see my clients buy a home within their budget, keeping their payments low enough to pay off other debts, have some money to save, and have extra for "living life" and doing fun stuff. I will never ever pressure you to spend more than you want to.  I don't care what your budget is, if I am your real estate agent, I will give you all the attention I can, and we will find you a great house. There are many good homes in Peoria, Phoenix, Surprise, Anthem, Glendale, etc., in ALL price ranges.  Just be sure that your expectations are realistic for your budget. Any home can be great, it's all about YOU and your memories you create in your home.

I'd like to pass along a great "reader story" about a couple who bought less house than they could afford, and then paid it off.  Please check it out at

If you're thinking of buying a home (house, condo, townhome etc.), call a great mortgage person to see if you qualify for a loan, and then call me, YOUR FRIEND IN REAL ESTATE!   

   Have a great day everyone.
