Mapping Your Journey to Success Sales Representative 519-856-9922 "I use my knowledge and background to give my clients direction and assistance when purchasing a home," she says. Tish, who specializes in residential real estate, especially loves helping first-time homebuyers. "First-time buyers aren't necessarily young people looking to buy their first home. Some people have been renting for many years and think that's the way it's always going to be," she says. "I can show them ways to financially achieve their goal of owning a home. If you have reasonable income and a fairly good credit rating, there's a way." According to Tish, now is the perfect time for renters and first-time buyers to purchase a home. For the last year, first time buyers have had a great impact on the real estate market thanks to low interest rates and special programs from financial institutions aimed at those specific buyers . Plus, Tish adds, there are many financial reasons to own rather than rent. A house is a stable asset that can be used to direct future financial dreams, from education, special vacations to retirement. In some cases, the mortgage could be less than monthly rent. And, most importantly,"owning a home means security and that creates a sense of stability, comfort and peace of mind". Tish is always available to offer advice, opinions and information to her clients. She is dedicated to helping her clients find the perfect home that meets all their needs and criteria. "Buying a house is one of the biggest and can be one of the most emotional purchases people will make in their lives," she says. "I want it to be a good experience for them."
