    Sharon sold our home several years ago and when I decided to move back to the area, I knew she would be the realtor I would use. She is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and has a passion for the business. She has assisted other family members in their home buying process.

    How much would yr mortgage be on 250,000 house?

    Hi Jill, that is a loaded question, Depends on the taxes in your area, what type of mortgage program you qualify for. To give you an answer $250,000 with a 3.5% interest 30 yrs term Principle and Interest payment would be $1,122.61 Now you need to know what your monthly homeowners insurance will cost and taxes divide total for the year by 12 and add to the $1,122.61. Finding a really good Seasoned real estate team, agent is the first step they know what lender to team you up with and by law the lender has to provide a cost sheet so you will know what the payment is and you closing cost and down payment. Fast expert can provide you the names of agents that do alot of business in your area.
