To my fellow Vets—

This is going to look a lot like a marketing ploy, but I want the graphic to get your attention.

Speaking to you from experience and because I know you, it's f@%ing difficult to secure adequate housing and sometimes it feels like it's just not in the cards. I'm gonna tell you now, that thinking is bu****it. It's not a matter of "if", but "when".
And I will help get you there, no matter where you're at in the states. You just need to reach out to me so we can create a strategy to make this a reality for you.

Your demographic has been a big motivating factor in why I got into this service-based industry. We have opportunities available to us, but no one teaches us how to use them. Let's change that.

Since 2021, inflation has been higher in Colorado than in any other state, mostly because of the cost of owning or renting a home. But this is also because the state legislature enjoys imposing new fees (you aren’t allowed to call them taxes) on seemingly anything they can think of. Colorado resid...

**It does not pay to wait. You pay by waiting**

These snapshots compare the stats from the ONE Report with the interest rates of March 2024 & March 2025.

March 2024: Lower prices, slightly higher conventional interest rate for consumers with excellent credit.

March 2025: Higher prices, slightly lower conventional interest rate for consumers with excellent credit.

The result: A monthly payment $83/month more in 2025. Same house (arguably less house) for $996 more, annually.

Know this... if (when) interest rates come down, home prices go up.

Conversely, if you take last years median home price and paired it with todays conventional interest rate of 6.707%, you only saved yourself $9/month. Only $385,000, as of March 2025, will get you less house than it did last year.

Set yourself up for the best possible outcome by strategizing with me on how to find you the best home for the best price, right now.
