We'll Personally Search for a Home that Matches Your Criteria. We try to be aware of homes that aren't officially on the market yet, but will be soon. We also have "pocket listings" from time to time. These are properties that aren't in the MLS or on the Internet, and have yet to be formally placed on the market. In addition, we know other real estate agents, both in our office and in competing brokerages, who have these types of listings. It's very common to network with these agents in order to match buyers with sellers. If you provide us some idea of what you're looking for, we'll ask our sources about anything they may have or know of that might suit you and is within your price range. This can save you a lot of time. This is a free service, and there's never any obligation. It's part of our job to offer services like this to homebuyers. Tell us what you're looking for, and please provide as many details as possible. We often know about properties that aren't on the market yet and therefore aren't to be found online. 
Financing Your Home >Mortgage Myths
Nationwide surveys indicate that a large number of potential home buyers count themselves out of the market because of widely-held myths about home financing.
Some of the most prevalent myths include: 1) home buyers need large down payments (more than is actually the case); 2) the loan process works against people under age 35; 3) owning a home is more expensive than renting; and 4) minorities have no chance of getting a mortgage.
The surveys found that many people view the mortgage process as "difficult, stressful, and incomprehensible." Many qualified first-time buyers are unaware of special programs designed to make home ownership affordable to them. The home loan industry is always looking for new ways to dispel these myths because lenders want more business, not less. The alternatives to traditional 20% down, thirty-year fixed mortgages are astonishing. Mortgage brokers are experienced in explaining today's financing and debunking the myths.
