I specialize in making housing easy! From first time buyers, secondary housing, investments, and upgrades (trade-ins), I cover it all. I work directly with over 10 lenders so no matter your situation I have a program for you. From starter homes to affordable luxury, I have a house for every budget. I pride myself in using full disclosure pricing, no surprises and no gimmicks! I don't just tell you what is included, I also tell you what is not. This ensures a smooth process for all parties. I service the entire state of Texas and offer free consultations & pre-approvals. My goal is to help as many people that I can into a home while getting a great deal on the house itself and the financing. Let me get you your "yes", today!

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.

If the value of the home you want to buy is appraised at less than the price of the offer, you may not be able to obtain a loan for the offer amount. Lenders want to ensure that the amount they’re lending isn’t more than the market value of the property, so you may have to increase your down payment to reduce the loan amount or get a second appraisal if you still want to proceed with the purchase.

Yes. If the seller includes a kick-out clause in the contract, they can accept another offer while contingent.

Installing a new home theater or upgrading your current one will likely add value to your home, as many prospective buyers will consider it an exciting bonus feature. However, the value of a home theater is subjective and depends on the buyer, so there’s no guarantee that it’ll increase your home sale value. Keep in mind that home theaters typically have a return on investment rate of about 65%.
