How to save $1000. Dollars A month!
In the last month, I have talked to two past clients who have not made time to refinance since they purchased their homes in 2006 & 2007.

Many times when I go to meet with a seller to talk about the value of their home I hear, "well Zillow says my house is worth..." Zillow is a wonderful resource. The Zestimates they provide are extremely interesting. But if you are selling, or buying, it is important that you recognize that relying solely on a Zestimate to place value can cost you. Don't take it from me, take it from them. The following statements are direct quotes, taken right off the Zillow site: The Zestimate...Continue Reading...
