I was born and raised in the Seattle area.  I moved away a couple of times to live in California and Europe.  While I enjoyed living in both of those places, each time I was drawn back to the Seattle area.  I discovered that I don't simply live here because I was born here, but because I love it here!  We have such rich beauty, diversity, and it is a wonderful place to call home.   I have over 15 years of experience in the medical, financial, and insurance fields where I used my skills and knowledge to help others navigate through the complexities of those industries.  I am looking forward to using these same…

The Responsive web design from www.TheCascadeTeam.com will resize and reformat page content in response to screen size and resolution. In short, our responsive website is one that looks good and performs well on traditional computers, tablets and smartphone. Its one size fits all – no separate mobile version required!

If you consider that many potential buyers may start their home search on their laptop and then switch to their smartphone throughout the course of the day, it’s only logical to make sure they have the same user-experience from one screen to the other.

Freddie Mac reports the following national averages on mortgage rates for the week ending Aug. 8: 

  • 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 4.40 percent, with…

Misconception No. 1: Your interest rate reflects the true cost of your mortgage.

Your annual percentage rate (APR) is actually the figure that represents the true cost of your mortgage. It is inclusive of your interest rate, points, mortgage insurance (when applicable) and other fees, including origination and underwriting fees. It does not include the cost of your homeowners insurance policy. The APR is typically higher than your interest rate because it incorporates the rate and the fees. In fact, when shopping for a mortgage, it is best to compare loans based on APR instead of the interest rate because it gives a better sense of the total cost over the life of the loan.

Misconception No. 2: Mortgage rates are only…
