Amazing Service!
I met Rosemary through RISMedia's Top 5 in Real Estate Network, of which she is a charter member and even though I knew she was a skilled and experienced professional in every sense of the word, she blew me away every step of the way with this sale and exceeded my expectations with her expertise, caring guidance during an emotional time for the family, negotiation skills and amazing follow through with every buyer agent who walked through the door. While I was living on the East Coast during the sale period and the home was vacant in Illinois, Rosemary was personally on top of every last detail from the moment we sat down at the table with my friend weeks before she passed away to the final closing. Rosemary was able to guide me through the entire process insured the home was ready to show at all times and made excellent suggestions regarding things I should consider while representing an estate including appraisers, local vendors for home repairs, home staging tips and legal issues. Rosemary and her team communicated with me regularly on the phone and via email and through easy to view online reports, so I was always up to date on all showings, feedback, and suggestions. The entire Rosemary West Team was absolutely amazing and should be commended for a job well done.

Financing Your Home >Mortgage Myths
Nationwide surveys indicate that a large number of potential home buyers count themselves out of the market because of widely-held myths about home financing.
Some of the most prevalent myths include: 1) home buyers need large down payments (more than is actually the case); 2) the loan process works against people under age 35; 3) owning a home is more expensive than renting; and 4) minorities have no chance of getting a mortgage.
The surveys found that many people view the mortgage process as "difficult, stressful, and incomprehensible." Many qualified first-time buyers are unaware of special programs designed to make home ownership affordable to them. The home loan industry is always looking for new ways to dispel these myths because lenders want more business, not less. The alternatives to traditional 20% down, thirty-year fixed mortgages are astonishing. Mortgage brokers are experienced in explaining today's financing and debunking the myths.
