Buyers don’t hesitate to make your buying decision. Interest rates on mortgages dipped below 5% and although lending standards are tougher you can still qualify if you have 640 to 680 FiCO scores, solid job history and some savings. Call me if you have questions and I will refer you to one of my lending partners who will let you know if you qualify for a home today!

- ~ Closed in Less Than 90 Days
"Recently my mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Being an only child her death devasted me and left me with a multitude of things to take care of and decisions to make. My husband, Mark, was a tremendous help. When we realized we needed to sell her home in Oswego, we turned to Evelyn for help. She was sensitive to what we were going through. She walked us through each and every part of the process from cleaning some things out, cleaning up, staging and helping us to decide on a listing price. She was fair, honest and compassionate every single step of the way. Because of her knowledge of the real estate market my mom's home sold (and closed) in under 90 days!! In todays market that was fantastic. We truly believed it would not have sold as quickly if it were not for Evelyn and her expertise.
