WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe your first home purchase will supercharge your life.
You'll finally have a place you can call your own, you'll pick up some smart tax breaks, and owning real estate will boost your net worth.
But buying and owning a home isn't all roses, of course.
Even the decision to buy can be nerve-racking because:
-
It's a bigger commitment than renting.
-
The down payment cuts into your savings.
-
The upkeep, maintenance and repairs become your responsibility.
-
Moving is a hassle.
It's a HUGE decision. A BIG deal. The next chapter in your life.
Which is why we'll NEVER rush or pressure you, or treat your questions and concerns with a casual, lazy attitude.

We believe you're the one who really matters
There are lots of people involved in a home purchase, but you're the one who matters to us.
As a Showcase Agency client, you're under our care, guidance and protection.

Showcase Agency is:
-
Your advocate. 100% on your side.
-
Your expert. Competent and confident.

Your guide. Experienced, thoughtful and professional.
We believe the best cure for home buying stress is preparation
It's natural to feel overwhelmed or stressed at times. We're all human, right?
In fact, lots of home buyers admit to feeling nervous about screwing something up and all the things they know they don't know.
The good news: Once you've done your homework and nailed down your plan, most of the stress fades away.
We help our clients prepare by:
-
Discussing the current housing market and their expectations.
-
Explaining the home buying process.
-
Reviewing their responsibilities as a new homeowner.
-
Comparing all home loan options available.
-
Personalizing a home buying plan based on their dreams, must-haves and timeline.
When you've got a solid plan of action and you're ready for what's next, most stress is automatically replaced by reassurance.

We believe in making things as simple and easy for you as possible
"Hey, this is actually kinda fun."
That's a direct quote from one of our agency clients and something we take as a compliment.
Part of why it's fun is because it's simple and easy for you:
-
We provide an easy loan application where you can apply on any device, as well as view, upload and sign documents securely.
-
We use quick text updates to keep you informed without an in-person meeting or phone call.
-
When you want to talk or meet, we make ourselves available based on what's convenient for you.
-
We schedule home tours when it's convenient for you.
-
We email explainer videos at key stages in the home buying process so you're prepared for what's next.
-
We've gone through the home buying process with a fine-tooth comb and stripped away anything unncessary or redundant.
We believe home buying is best played as a team sport
Teamwork makes the dream work.
You, your loan officer and buyer's agent have to work together to make your homeownership dream a reality.
In our experience, this is what makes a championship team:
-
Trustworthy: Each teammate can depend on one another to do what they say they'll do.
-
Clear communication: Everybody's on the same page.
-
Dedicated: Everybody goes the extra mile if that's what it takes.
-
Collaboration: Everyone brainstorms options if something unexpected pops up.

We believe you and your home purchase deserve a round of applause
In all the hustle and bustle of packing, turning on utilities, and moving, we hope the magnitude of your MASSIVE accomplishment isn't lost.
This was no small feat.
The facts are: Not everyone can qualify and not everyone who sets off to buy a home makes it to the finish line.
BUT YOU DID IT. Congrats!
Take time to celebrate and reflect on how far you've come (and what you're gonna conquer next).
We believe our commitment to you doesn't end once we hand you the keys
We just helped you acquire the biggest asset and debt of your life.
It wouldn't feel right leaving you alone to figure it out on your own.
Now that you're a homeowner, you may run into one or more of these situations:
-
Impound account shortages
-
Supplemental tax bills
-
Property tax and home insurance increases
-
Home warranty claims
-
Other events where you'll have questions and want an expert second opinion
-
PLUS you become a high profile target for scammers
Whenever a question pops up or you get something in the mail that looks fishy or confusing, we're just a text or call away.
No question is ever too big or small.
And each year, we'll provide you with an Equity Power Report that reviews:
-
Your home equity
-
Mortgage
-
Home insurance
-
Mortgage insurance
You can use the report for making adjustments to keep up with your personal and financial goals.
