Are Balloon Mortgages For You?
A balloon mortgage can be an excellent option for many home buyers. A balloon mortgage is usually rather short, with a term of five to seven years, but the payment is based on a term of 30 years. They often have a lower interest rate, and can be easier to qualify for than a traditional 30 year fixed mortgage. There is, however, a risk to consider. At the end of your loan term you will need to pay off your outstanding balance. This usually means you must refinance, sell your home or convert the balloon mortgage to a traditional mortgage at the current interest rates.

Selling Your Home >Locating A Buyer
Listing your home with our agency gives you the advantage of having a team of experts apply themselves to the task of finding you a buyer as quickly as possible. In the process, we try to arrange showing appointments that are convenient to both parties, but it does not always work out that way.
Last-minute appointments are sometimes necessary because buyers who are relocating from other areas are often on tight schedules. This can be annoying to sellers unless they understand the nature of the real estate agent's job. When selling homes, we sometimes have to rely on our intuition. Many sales have been consummated as the result of last-minute appointments.
The prospective buyer who is on a very short house hunting trip may need a house now! In this kind of situation, the real estate agent can make things can happen fast! So when the phone rings at the last-minute, keep in mind that the appointment represents an opportunity for the sale.
