I'm lucky to be joined by my mother Joanie today to touch base with you about a great service we wanted to remind you about.

When you need a resource for vendors like contractors, plumbers, or electricians, you don't want to make the mistake of hiring a bad one. We all know how costly that can be. So how do you know you can trust someone? You can trust them if they've been around for a long time, and we've got a list of resources who have been around for a long time.

These are tried, true, and trusted people we've worked with before, and we'd love to refer you to an expert we trust for any needs you have. We've got a referral for anything you need, from a roof problem to an electrical issue to dry rot or a leaky sink.

“

We can refer you to any service professional you need to find.

”

If you need a referral for a great service professional, just give us a call or send us an email and we'd be happy to help you out. Likewise, if you know of a trusted contractor that you think should be on our preferred list, we'd love to know about them. We want to be able to help our clients find the best people possible for any job.

We hope to help you soon!

cassidy@getvyral.com (Neil Cowan) — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 09:13:00 -0800

We just wanted to inform you of some recent real estate news that may be important to you. The Federal Reserve raised their interest rate on December 13th, and it’s more than likely that they will raise it twice more in 2017.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a home anytime in the near future, now might be the time to act. You want to lock in that low rate now before they go up again. Even a small increase can make a huge difference in your payment and the overall cost of your loan.

“

Now is the time to consider making a move.

”

We highly recommend that you talk to a professional lender if you’re thinking about buying. We would be happy to connect you with someone fantastic that we have worked with a lot in the past.

If you’re thinking about selling your house, now might be a smart time to do that too. If these rates go up as expected, it could really limit your bottom line as well as the number of buyers who look at your home.

If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you soon.

As we begin 2017, we enter an exciting time for our real estate market.

Right after the election, interest rates went up a bit. Then they went up again in December. How does this impact you as a buyer? If you have been thinking about buying a home, now is a great time to get out there and do that by locking in a good rate with a preferred lender. If you need a preferred lender, let us know and we would be happy to recommend a few to you.

Rates are going to go up even higher this year.

If you’re selling a house, it’s also a great time for you to get into the market because you are going to capture all of those buyers who are jumping off the fence and buying now to lock in that low interest rate.

If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
