As most of you probably know, there are 30-year mortgages and there are 15-year mortgages. Even though 15-year mortgages are probably the better option, most people can’t afford it.

Fortunately, there is one simply thing you can do to turn your 30-year mortgage into a 22-year mortgage: make one extra payment a year.



You can either make an extra payment all at once, or you can add 1/12 of your mortgage payment to your monthly payment.

For example, if you pay $1,000 a month for your mortgage, simply add another $80 to make that extra payment. Then, in 22 years, you will have paid off your loan!

As you probably know from looking at homes, most everybody starts their home search online. That’s why it’s so important to have professional photographs taken of your home.

We always use professional photographers to make your listing shine online. We work with them until we get a number of “Wow” shots - these pictures are so beautiful that they really entice people to keep clicking.




There is a whole science behind it, and we specialize in making sure that we get more people to look at your photographs. If necessary, we will even come back to your property and have a twilight photoshoot, especially if the location and setting call for it.

We also include wording with each photo that entices the viewer to keep clicking through each picture on the MLS. This way, they don’t have to go back to the description each time. The wording also helps them visualize themselves in this home, which helps you get a lot more clicks and helps us get a lot more sales.

If you have any questions about professional photography, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

How we helped Christine Serio by providing stellar service.


"They were off the charts!  My husband and I went to Charlotte for a weekend just to see if its somewhere we would consider moving in the future.  We not only bought a house but Dee managed to introduce us to a home that was not yet on the market.  She had listened so well to what it is we were describing, she knew of something that was going to become available and arranged for us to see it.  We ended up making an offer and closing on the house.  Tar's service before we got to Charlotte and Dee's service during and since has been stellar.  So much so that we introduced my sister and her husband to them and also bought a house. We can't say enough great things about Tar and Dee, it's like they made magic happen."

How we helped Wade Hobgood by going beyond the call of duty


"The overall experience was spectacular.  It was so promising and wonderful that I referred my daughter, my best friend, and another best friends daughter.  There have been referrals that I have provided for Dee knowing full well that she will give them the professional attention that they need to find the home that they love.  A home for one of my good friends daughter, it is her first home, she was looking for a home that was a short sale.  Dee went our of her way to use her money to make a deposit on the utilities so they could turn the utilities on for a home inspection.  That is way beyond the call of duty for any real estate agent to put their own personal resources on the table to make a successful purchase."

How we helped Maureen Karhut by understanding exactly she wanted.


"The results were spectacular! She narrowed down what we wanted - she only took me to see properties that we'd like based on her recommendation after meeting us! We really appreciated that because we're very busy. Knowing we're from out of town, she volunteered a conditional agreement - things that benefited us. She recommended a handyman for us! I'm a really big fan! I'm asking her for everything from dry cleaners to her hairstylists!"
