Help Me Welcome Cheryl Willis - Ozark Mo Real Estate

Help me welcome Cheryl Willis to RE/MAX Solutions!Cheryl Willis

Many agents are facing the facts that real estate offices are having financial difficulties....but many do not have options on where they want to work.

I have the privilege of having Cheryl join our company this week. Her determination to stay with the same company and knowledge of the Mt Vernon, Aurora and Monett area makes her a great addition.

Moving from any company is difficult. With today's technology, working from home has become more convenient, allowing agents to focus more on their clients, Cheryl will be able to market her current base and expand her real estate base to include Springfield and surrounding areas.

First Time Home Buyers - There's Still Money Available

I love working with first time home buyers selling Springfield Mo real estate.Working Hand In Hand

For those of you that have worked with first time home buyers and now are unable to find 100% financing for homes in rural areas, I have a great lender that can still work with these clients.

Working with first time home buyers has been easy over the past few years. Now, with the banking industry tighening up on these groups, finding financing is difficult. Many will now have to save to put money down of their own, or have a co-signer with money down.

Darren Stewart has a loan through USDA with some awesome perks:

100% financing and no down payment -

No monthly mortgage insurance - (may increase the amount of home a buyer can buy)

Loan amount can be up to the appraisal amount allowing for the financing of some closing costs. Also, There is no monthy PMI - it is paid up front.

Best of all, he is authorized to offer this financing across the nation. Read Darren's latest blog.

RE/MAX Night Out - Springfield Mo Real Estate

Hammons Field

RE/MAX Night Out At The Ballgame was a huge success this year.

To thank all the clients we have throughout the years, we invited our clients, friends and business associates to dinner and a night out at a Springfield Cardinals game at Springfield's Hammonds Field. These people are the reason we sell Springfield Mo real estate. Without them, our business would not grow.

RE/MAX at Jordan Valley Ice Park

And a wonderful day it was! The weather was perfect. Dinner for over 900 people (a growing number from previous years) was catered in at Jordan Valley Ice Park.

Water Fountains at Jordan Valley Ice Park

The children played at the water fountains. For the adults that had never been to the park, a casual walk through the park and tour of the Ice Park was a treat.

The group reserved four sections at the park and made a wonderful photo with all the red shirts provided by RE/MAX.

Cardinals Mascot

Thank you all for attending. We'll do it again next year.
