OUR TEAM. OUR STORIES.
Why American Realty feels like home. ❤️💙

For Realtor® Bobbi Jo Volkens, one word comes up again and again when she talks about American Realty: family.

It’s knowing there’s always someone willing to answer a question, offer an opinion or step in when you need a hand. It’s being surrounded by agents who don’t hold tightly to what they’ve learned, but instead share their knowledge and experiences so everyone around them can become better.

Bobbi Jo especially values the sense of belonging that comes with being part of the team, from learning together at weekly meetings to spending time together outside the office. And sometimes that support goes well beyond real estate.

That same people-first approach carries into Bobbi Jo’s own business. For her, one of the best parts of being a Realtor is seeing a client genuinely happy, whether that means handing buyers the keys to their dream home or helping sellers get a great result so they can confidently move on to their next chapter.

“We care about each other personally. American Realty feels like family.”

Thanks for sharing your story, Bobbi Jo. We’re glad you’re part of ours. ❤️

🏡 Well...there goes THAT idea.
Anyone waiting for mortgage rates to hurry up and fall might want to pull up a chair. 😂
New numbers released YESTERDAY show the average 30-year mortgage rate has climbed to:
6.71%
That's the highest level in 13 months.
Earlier this year we were getting awfully close to 6%, and plenty of buyers decided:
"I'll just wait until rates come down."
Now they're going the other direction.
But here's what I think is MUCH more interesting.
There are millions of homeowners sitting on mortgages in the 2%, 3% and 4% range who would probably LOVE to move...
but giving up that mortgage feels like giving away a winning lottery ticket.
So we have buyers waiting for rates to fall...
sellers waiting for rates to fall...
and everybody staring at everybody else.
😂
I went down the housing rabbit hole this afternoon because this may be one of the biggest reasons the housing market still feels so strange.
Have ultra-low mortgage rates accidentally LOCKED America into its houses?
If you currently have a mortgage under 4%, what would it take for you to willingly give it up? 👇

This summer brought a few hurdles for my buyers... low inventory, multiple-offer situations, and the uncertainty of interest rates. But together, we navigated each challenge. 🏡

👉 One family had their heart set on a home that already had several offers. By presenting a strong, creative offer and keeping open communication with the seller’s agent, we made it happen.

👉 Another client was nervous about rates. I connected them with a trusted local lender who found the right financing option, and they’re now settling into their dream home before the leaves start to fall. 🍁

Helping buyers overcome obstacles is what I love most about this career because no challenge is too big when you have the right plan and team in place. 💪✨

If you’ve put your search on hold because of market worries, let’s talk. I’d love to help you write your own success story this fall!
