You know you've made it when you have a Tommy Choi photo. Representing the best class ever #NARLA2018 and in true TC fashion, I will sum it up by quoting a great poet Ermias Asghedom (aka Nipsey Hussle)

Dedication, hard work plus patience
The sum of all my sacrifice, I'm done waitin'
I'm done waitin', told you that I wasn't playin'
Now you hear what I been sayin', dedication

On the first day of September, mortgage rates continued to rise, following the trend of the 10-year Treasury yield. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate inched up to 5.66% from 5.55% the previous week. http://ow.ly/O6Hk50KzQXg

September is REALTOR® Safety Month! And there is no better time to bring safety top of mind and establish safety protocols to use on the job to stay protected. ow.ly/wR0E1041HeX

Mortgage rates surpassed 6% this week. Unyielding inflation continues to push up mortgage rates, reaching their highest level since 2008. As a result, the monthly mortgage payment has increased about 60% compared to a year ago.

I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but...

home buying can get a little weird!

I mean, you're making the biggest financial decision of your life and sometimes, you have to make it within the 15-30 minute window of a showing.

That's why I always encourage my buyer clients to focus on one question: "can you picture yourself living here?"

Leave the technical questions to me! Here are some of the things I'll ask the listing agent to help you make the most informed decision

-Why is the homeowner selling?
-How long has the property been on the market?
-Are there any other offers on the property?
-When does the seller want to move?
-Has the seller made any major updates to the property?
How old are the appliances, roof and heating/cooling systems? Are they in good condition?
-Have there been any foundational issues?
-Has the sewer ever backed up?
-Have there been any leaks or water damage in the property?
-What are the property taxes? How much to utilities cost?
-What is the school district?

Save this post in case you find yourself spontaneously popping into an open house this fall and need to know what to ask! And remember, I'm always just a phone call or text away!
