Thank you again for finding us this Great House! Tom and Beatrix Tyna (Bay Village)

In this market, it would be easy to throw up your hands and say it's close to impossible, just sit back and hope for the best, but not you. The marketing materials were great and the effort you put in helped to sell the house in an impressive amount of time. Thank you for your input to get the house looking its best and for helping with all areas of the sale. I can rest easy with planning my wedding knowing I have that checked off my list. When Chris and I head back to Cleveland, I will be the first one to look you up and use your services to find our new home. Yours Truly, Kate Plenzler (Avon Lake)

Your ambitious approach is very refreshing. Linda Wagenknecht (Lakewood)

I knew throughout the whole process that everything would turn out well because you were very honest and up front with me. You went above and beyond what any other Realtor would do. Robert W. Rosol (Fairview Park)

We couldn't be happier in our new home - could not have done it without you! Dennis and Michelle Pinozzi (Lakewood)

You were knowledgeable and taught me how to look at electrical, plumbing and structural things I never would have noticed. You also listened to what I wanted and helped me to narrow my search. I was treated with respect, something a single female does not encounter very often in the Real Estate market. Theresa A. Clarke (Lakewood)

Thanks again for all your help. I've told a lot of agents in my office what a super agent you are - a real professional. Judy Nupp - Howard Hanna (Rocky River)

Plain English Help (Switch to Financial Analysis)

When applying for a mortgage, you will most likely be presented with the option to pay points to lower your interest rate. In order to determine if this investment is worthwhile for you, you will need to know the amount of your loan, the interest rate before the purchase of points, and the interest rate after the purchase of points. You will also need to know the length of the loan and your savings rate.

If you are taking out a $250,000.00 loan with an interest rate of 3.500%, you might be able to buy down the interest rate to 4.500% with points. If you are getting a 30 year loan and paying for your points, your monthly payment (principal and interest only) will change from $1,122.61 to $1,266.71. This will give you a savings of $-144.10.

But, if you put your money in the fund with an average savings rate of 5.000% rather than purchasing points to cut an interest rate of your mortgage loan, you might get $10.42 per month from your investment. When you figure in your investment savings, your true savings will be $-154.52 per month.

After considering the cost of paying for the points, we're realized that you will NOT break even.
