The best time to buy a house is always five years ago...if only I owned a magic wand and could predict house prices...
Over the years I was waiting for the house market prices to drop so I could buy a house. I had been renting a house for 21 years with no central air and a slum landlord that kept the pool green. Yes my pool was really green and looked like Shrek's swamp! It was miserable but the rent was cheap! When I finally decided to move out I realized I had paid his mortgage and his house was finally paid off. The mistake most people make is putting their money and investment in a car or other assets when a house is really where your money should be.
Even though the housing market seemed like a bad time to buy, the truth is, a house will ALWAYS be a good investment and the price will always go up even if they go down at times. Long story short it was time for me to finally buy a house!!!
Last year I finally bought a house! If anyone knows buying a house takes a really good realtor so I was so happy to find Jason! I knew nothing about buying a house so I was thrilled that Jason was an expert not only at buying houses but selling them too! He knew about property values and helped me pick a house that already went up to $75,000 in one year! Before I bought my house he actually helped me sell my mom's home first. He knew exactly what property upgrades we needed to obtain the best value. He got us $20,000 over asking price!
I can be stubborn so I'm just happy I trusted his opinion on certain things like a property's potential home value and what to fix on my moms property. I wasn't sure what to do! He even made us aware of potential problems we might encounter with certain buyers and other homes with their specific issues. It was amazing how right he was.
Since Jason invests in real estate, he was more knowledge than most realtors. Not only that but he was truly only concerned with the goals that we set out to achieve and didn't push us in any direction we weren't comfortable with. I liked that because I hate pushy realtors! I deal with enough pushy men in my life! Even though I might not be, Jason is really down to earth and helped us make the best decision. Thank goodness because we really needed the help.
The cool thing about Jason is he never got mad when I asked excessive questions or thought we were a little crazy, and if he did he hid it well. He always treated us with respect and that was important to me. Once we got into contract, he did all the work and handled all the details in getting us through the process. I've heard many other agents send you off with transaction coordinators or assistance and you rarely here from your agent throughout the rest of the process.I'm quite helpless so I can't tell you how glad I am he did. I can tell you that he was there every step of the way, he never left me to figure out anything on my own! Like I said we had tons of questions and he answered everyone of them patiently.
Overall it was a very safe feeling to go through one of the biggest purchases of my life knowing I had someone there to take really good care of us and hold my hand the whole way. It's nice to have someone who had our best interest in mind. Thank you Jason! read more
