On this pretty September morning, I decided to pack up my two sidekicks, Max and Lucy, and explore Kathy's trail which is located in the Issaquah Highlands.  It is listed on AllTrails as a 1.2 mile out and back trail.

Everyone loves taking about themselves. That’s a truism from psychology 101. So our course for agents seeing a mailer where people have said nice things about them or given testimonials looks amazing. They also love to show off all the homes they have sold…

It’s pretty unlikely anyone would self-mail out a critical review of their services… Hummmm

Throughout the pandemic, millions of homeowners utilized the mortgage forbearance options provided by the CARES Act and other pandemic relief legislation. However, forbearance is not forgiveness, and many of those 6, 12, and 18-month forbearances are coming due this fall. This leads to the question:

Now What?

It's so important that you know your options. For details of repayment options, talk with your mortgage provider/servicer.

If balloon payments, higher payments, and extending your current mortgage don't sound like appealing options, remember: You have the freedom of another option. An option that frees you of the fees, interest, and extending your current mortgage. 

During the pandemic, the value of your home likely skyrocketed. This
