Timing Is Everything!

How much in this world can any one individual really control?

We try to buy gas when it is at its lowest for the week.
We try to buy the bargains at the grocery store when they are on sale.
We try to purchase stocks and mutual funds at the low end rather than the high end.

Can we really time the market? Rarely!

What we try to do is to watch the gas prices,the grocery prices and of course the
stock market. We do our homework. When gas comes down and we need gas we don't wait
for it to go even lower unless we plan on staying home until it does.
We use coupons to buy groceries to save even more and we buy stocks and mutual funds
as they are going down. We do all these things knowing that they could go still lower,
but when we need groceries, gas or we need to put money into retirement
accounts we can't wait for the time to be exactly right. It is an unknown.
No one can predict if and when we will reach the bottom.

When we need a place to live we have the same options - we can wait for houses to
go lower. We can sit in an apartment or rental house, continue paying rent (helping
someone else pay for their property) or we can tell ourselves that the market
looks good today and if I purchase now I'll get a good buy. I'll have a place to live,
I'll get a deduction for the interest and property taxes on my income tax return and
I'll gain equity for the future.

An agent who knows what they are doing can show you how owning your own home
can be a good investment even if it doesn't appreciate in value for a couple of years.
Kari and I are willing to start from the beginning and help you understand whether or not
this is the right time for you to purchase a home.

We have sellers who are motivated to sell, we have foreclosure properties and
we have builders willing to work with you to construct a new home.

We are here to help you understand this market and to work with it, not against it.
Remember - You make your money when you buy - Not when you sell.
You Can Buy Right With The Help Of Mary and Kari.
