Wow!

Have you noticed the amazingly low interest rates?  What an incredible opportunity to purchase a home or an investment property!  Prices are at record lows.... interest rates are at record lows.... Can it realistically get better?

Professionals at work...

You know when you run across people that are really good at what they do, and you think to yourself, WOW... If only I had some sort of talent on the same level of those guys! Seriously, our wedding photographers Jeff and Erin are amazingly incredible. I'm not even kidding, these guys are the best in the business! What makes them so incredible? I'm glad you asked... First of all, they don't miss a thing. It's almost like they somehow capture all of the moment's feelings and emotions in a split second photo. Okay, that was kind of tough to explain so see for yourself...

Jourdan and I were invited down to San Diego to help the Youngrens out with some of their future marketing. What an honor! It was the no brainer of no brainers! Of course, my wife already takes the most beautiful pictures, but they somehow even made me look photogenic... now that's talent!

If you know anyone looking for amazing photographers for engagements or weddings... check these guys out!

These are only a fraction of the awesome photos taken... See more of their work at:

Thanks Jeff and Erin!! Like always, we had a blast with you guys!

Bailout money put to great use...

So what is the bailout money being used for exactly? I heard that the auto industry "big 3" have just been put to the back of the line... What now? Bail out more banks?

As a member of the National Association of Realtors, here is what we are pledging:

Why don't we take a portion of the bailout money and use it to buy down the rate for primary homebuyers next year? Think about it... what if next year's homebuyer received a 30 year fixed loan with an interest rate of 4.5%? Not only would it stimulate the economy, it would create huge urgency to buy and wipe out most of the distressed properties! It is proposed to last for a very short while, but man what an impact it could have! A lot of buyers are fearful and still on the fence... this is exactly the type forward push that we could use!! In one year's time I really believe we could see a stimulated real estate economy by this act.

As real estate agents we are working together to improve this economy.... one home sale at a time.
