A couple of weeks back, the ultimate authority on Stockbridge mortgage rates hadn’t minced words. That was Freddie Mac, whose opinion about mortgage rates constitutes the final say in the matter.

Together with sibling Fannie Mae, the quasi-governmental entities stand behind 60% of U.S. mortgages.Each week their PMMS survey collects data snapshots from thrifts, credit unions, banks, and mortgage lenders to gauge of the direction of the home loan market. Future Stockbridge home hunters and the homeowners whose properties are found in the current listings (or soon will be) are constantly affected by those ups and downs. For one thing, they dictate the “monthly payment” calculatio... 09/18/2017

Would it surprise you to know that many of your Ellenwood and Stockbridge, GA neighbors might be facing foreclosure and NOT be aware of the choices they have to avoid it?

My buyer client and I have been working together for about a month and a half, and we have looked at a lot of homes.  My client has a pretty specific set of preferences - more so than most other buyer clients.  After looking at so many properties and not finding what she liked, she had a couple of temptations to call it quits.  Each time I would offer her the advice that we just keep looking and something is bound to come along. Her close friends have also been helping to keep my client encouraged.  It's good when a client has a positive support network of encouragement.  Too often you have the person or persons that you just know are in your corner, and they turn out to be the most negative about the whole home buying plan. Well we looked at some nice homes yesterday, and I think we go... 12/11/2010
