Real estate has been my passion for the last ten years and I wouldn't change a thing. After all, coming into Real Estate is how I met my husband. We've been married for 7 years and when we're not selling homes and teaching new agents, we enjoy traveling, spending time at our beach condo, cookouts with our family and friends and Bobcats Basketball. My family moved from Paris, France to Charlotte when I was 10 years old. I consider myself a Charlotte native, having grown up here and gone to the College of Nursing at UNCC. I was an RN in a busy ICU and ER for 5 years and enjoyed 10 years in the Army Reserves and Army Nurse Corps. I'm proud to have served our country in Desert Storm. In order to better serve all of my buyer and seller clients, I have furthered my education in real estate by earning the highly coveted Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, awarded to less than 5% of all Realtors® nationwide.

Are you still writing those checks to your landlord every month to keep a roof over your head, but not accumulating any home equity? If you are still renting because you think you still need a fortune to get into your own home, you should investigate today's real estate market.
Interest rates are still relatively low, which means that mortgage loans are affordable, with payments potentially in the range of your current monthly rent. Qualifying for a loan was never easier, especially since lenders have increased in large numbers and are competing for your business. Even if you couldn't qualify to buy a home just a few years ago, you may be able to qualify today. There are a number of government programs and mortgage packages which require small down payments, in the three to five percent range--and that is not even talking about the tax advantages! Think about it the next time you write a rent check.
