Credit issues?

There have been many buyers helped with Fico scores in the mid 500 range to become homeowners! I work with a builder to help you get loan ready to purchase a new Home!  They have a professional credit repair company if needed and a recommended lender who works with challenged credit & can give you the tools you need to increase your fico score in a little as 1-4 months! 

Example: Clients..Husband has 572 and Wife has 612 credit score. In 1 month increased husband's score to 612 and wife's to 620!! They are now beginning to build their home and anticipate both will be at 640 in the next 3 months with a plan of action to get them where they need to be!!

Burleson Texas Real Estate

Good morning, headed to the City of Burleson for their annual "founders day" celebration.

The City was established in 1881 on October 10th but is celebrated on the 9th. Sorta of growing up here since my Aunt & Uncle moved to Burleson in 1962, I've seen, as many have, some really great changes and most I'm glad to say for the better!!

Although since I moved here in early 2000's living in the country isn't as much country anymore, it is still a pretty cool little town. 

I do sell Real Estate in and around Burleson, not only because of the town but also the general area. We now have more than just a Dairy Queen and Dairy Twin even though they are both hard to beat for food fare and some good old networking with folks.

Come on down today from 9-6 PM and enjoy!

Journalist credits Texas REALTORS(R)

...for avoiding home equity trap.

Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey, in his April 5 column, writes that Texas REALTORS® deserve a hug from their fellow Texans based on something the group did back in 1997. At the time, home equity lending wasn’t allowed in Texas. Other states had already jumped on the bandwagon, but the Texas Association of REALTORS® was concerned for homeowners. Writes Casey: “The REALTORS®' lobby …had always opposed any bills allowing home equity loans. Their concern: If people borrow too much against their houses, when the economy goes south foreclosures soar, prices sink and a lot of people are cast into misery. So they pressed for and won safeguards. The most important was that homeowners can only borrow against 80% of the appraised value of their homes. In California and some other states, they can borrow more than their homes' values. What's more, all the protections were written into the state Constitution, making it hard for legislators and lobbyists to quietly sabotage them. The result is that Texas didn't join the disastrous, equity-loan abetted, bubble-blowing frenzy of much of the rest of the nation.”

I like the lead line on his story from Houston Chronicle...Why you should hug a Realtor!
