About James Saffell
Specialties: Broker, Listing Agent, Partner is Margaret Saffell, Builders to Custom Build, Relocation, Foreclosure, Consulting Having moved many times in my lifetime, both locally and nationally, I decided to leave the corporate world and become a full time Realtor in 2001. During this time, I have assisted over hundreds of families with their financial decisions to purchase real estate and enhance their lives by owning their own home. My attention to details, knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, traffic, and home values has allowed me to provide superior customer service and be constantly rewarded by referrals from past clients. I work as a consultant, learning your specific needs and establish a plan with your needs in mind and we work as a team to accomplish your goals. Whether buying your 1st home, your 15th home, an investment property, becoming a land lord for the first time, or leasing your home for the 1st time, I can help you make the best decisions. I look forward to being of service to you soon and negotiating the very best deal for you!

FAQ
First thing to do is to speak with a Lender to get your prequalification letter which involves having your credit ran and determining your ability to purchase and pay back the loan. If you don't know a great lender, then you should call me for references who can handle you specific type of purchase.Most buyers think they should only speak with one lender....which is not correct. I recommend you speak with at least 2-3 lenders to make sure you are getting the best interest rate and the best loan acquisition costs.
Call me first before you make your plans for improvements. I can help you with money making suggestions to prepare your home for it's best presentation to the public. With over 19 years experience, I know what it takes to sell your home. Don't waste money on improvements that you may not make your money back. There is absolutely no obligation on your part to speak with me.
I have worked with first time home buyers many times, seniors selling to move in with family, moving to a smaller residence, re-location buyers, estate sales with heirs, individuals upside down on their loans, from very small price to $1m dollar homes. We assist several Sellers who need to move to another home locally. We work to make sure the transaction works as smoothly as possible. This type of transaction can be tricky, but we know how to make it work.
I recently worked with a widow who had build her home with her husband, and he had recently passed. I was able to smoothly transact a new home purchase in a 55+ community and then sell her home to another lovely couple moving to the area. All worked very well and it was a true pleasure to work with both families and see the different emotions during the transition.
After 21 years of being in the corporate world, I needed a change. I sought a Real Estate Career where i could help many people-which in all the years, i have been able to assist 1000's of families and individuals obtain their lifelong dreams and goals.
Over my career, I have attended many classes, received many certifications, and awards. With Keller Williams Realty, I use the latest and best technology to attract buyers from all over the world!
My ongoing training and reading of books allows me to stay on top of the latest trends and services I can provide to my customers.
Answered Questions
If I buy now at a high interest rate how soon can I refi?
Corri, Great question. Yes you may refi your loan. Many buyers are asking sellers to help them purchase with an interest rate buy down closing cost contribution. This would allow you to purchase now and be able to refi later down the road when the rates drop, hopefully. All we know right now, is that the rates are still solid, and prices are not really falling in most areas. Wish you all the best

Where do I find the water shut off for outside?
Typically this will be on the side of the house where you find a main pipe going into the home. You may also purchase hose bib covers that will secure around the hose bibs to insulate them and or use weather wraps to keep them insulated.
