15 vs. 30 Yr Mortgages

Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.

Working With An Agent >Real Estate Agent Referrals It takes time for real estate agents to build a business. Since a lot of our success depends on referrals from satisfied buyers or sellers, we work hard to exceed your expectations for service. If a real estate agent has done a superb job of selling your house or finding you a new one, the best way to say "thank you" is to give that person's name (and phone number!) to anyone you know who is considering a move. You are not only doing the agent a favor, you are also directing your friends to a competent, knowledgeable and experienced salesperson. Buying a house or condo can be a little scary if you don't have a strong professional guiding you through the process. Real estate agents try extra hard to please referrals of friends or pleased customers. We are in the business for the long term and prosper by giving consistently high quality service.
