Have you heard the exciting news? We’ve just recently launched our new Fairway Now mobile app.

It’s our goal to give our clients the best experience possible and give our real estate partners the best tools to help their clients. With the release of this app, we’re doing both.

If you’re one of our real estate partners, you can enhance client relationships, stay ahead of the competition, and increase the speed of your transactions. This app reduces the time it takes to close a loan by 20% by being able to take pictures of your loan documents and allowing your clients to communicate with us anytime, anyplace. This app also offers a co-branding option which allows you to stay in front of your clients and gives them your information anytime they need it. 

Imagine what this app can do for you

In today’s environment, homebuyers demand a robust mobile experience. If you’re a homebuyer, here’s what you can expect to be able to do:

• Apply for a loan in less than 10 minutes without the use of a computer.
• Track your loan progress with real time push notifications.
• One-click call or text your loan officer or real estate agent.
• Scan documents securely by taking a picture with your smartphone.
• Calculate realistic monthly payments with calculators that I provide.

This game-changing app will take us to the next level. We already close loans in 20 days or less—imagine what this app can do for you. 

To download this app, simply click this link and follow the instructions. 

If you have any questions about this app or have an idea for our next video blog, feel free to call, email, or text me. I look forward to giving you the information you need. 

What to Expect From the 2017 Real Estate Market

What will happen in the 2017 real estate market? No one has a crystal ball, but I do have a few predictions to share with you today.

What can you expect from the 2017 real estate market?

One thing that you can count on is that interest rates will go up this year. Since 2010, we have been in a marketplace where you can borrow discounted money, so plan on rates going up a bit. That said, back in 1982, interest rates were at 17%, so going from 3.8% to 4.1% is not a big deal. That is just a $60 increase in your monthly payment, so relax and focus on your home buying process.

The good news is that areas like Denver, Dallas, Florida, Washington, and Oregon will see great appreciation this year. When I say great appreciation, I mean anywhere from 8% to 10%. This is great news for those who already own homes and those who are entering the market.

Home prices still have room to grow. Due to some of the great changes in the mortgage industry, we are not in a housing bubble like we were back in 2007. These days, Fido the dog cannot get approved for a mortgage, so we won’t hit the major, crazy bubble that everyone is worried about.

We are not approaching another crazy real estate bubble.

Now, we saw some of this last year but in 2017, millennials will hit the real estate market in a major way. They have been saving money, studying the home buying process, and figuring out what they need to do in order to successfully purchase a home.

One great thing about working with millennials is that they are incredibly tech savvy. They are downloading apps, like mine, to search for homes. They can even download, sign, and submit documents directly to me so that I can send them a pre-approval right away. Many home buyers can learn a lot from millennials.

If you have any other questions about the 2017 real estate market or if you are interested in my app, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I would be happy to help you!
