Read What People Are Saying About Me  I always ask my clients to write or email me, and tell me truthfully how they appreciated my service to them. Their feedback is so important! Here are a few highlights of what people are saying about me... "You'd be happy and writing too, especially if you were in our shoes feeling that your realtor went the “extra mile” repeatedly, really cared and took the necessary time and steps to ensure your million dollar home was sold… as promised!"
"In just 29 days you and your Team sold my father's rather unique property. Your level of professionalism, enthusiasm, and knowledge made all the difference!" "Thank you so much for all your hard work to sell our Junction City house. We should have listed with you long ago. It was on the market for only 27 days! Incredible! Knowledge made all the difference!" "I can't thank you and Julie and the rest of your Team enough for the help you all gave me and my daughter in finding the beautiful ranch we bought!" "I have known Kathie for several years and have referred a lot of people to her. The last home she helped us find was so great we stayed in it for 14 years!" 
I Would Recommend You to Anyone
You and Julie not only do excellent work for your clients--you develop lasting personal relationships.

Buyers Remorse >First Time Loans
Most first-time buyers can qualify for a mortgage loan, but they may need help from parents to make the down payment or closing costs on their home. There are loan programs that minimize the down payment and closing costs for first-time buyers. These programs usually require that 3 to 5 percent of the purchase price come from the buyers' funds, not from a loan or gift. Most lenders ask for the last three months' bank records. The borrower will be asked to reveal the origin of any large deposits. If the money comes from the homebuyer's parents, the lender may not consider those funds when qualifying the buyers.
Parents who are planning to help their children finance a home should transfer any funds several months before the house-hunting process begins. If it is a loan rather than a gift, a formal re-payment agreement should be drawn up between parents and children to eliminate potential misunderstandings or future complications with either estate.
