Today I want to share an awesome story with you. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to fly. I was always interested in the idea of doing so, even as a child.

I would make parachutes out of blankets, play with toy planes, and do anything else I could to imitate this dream. Even as an adult, I maintained that interest. I began to put the wish onto vision boards, which I actually found to be quite effective.

I began associating the image of the plane on the vision board with my desire to fly. The more I did that, the more I worked to manifest that vision into reality. My coach told me that this was a great step, and suggested that I actually stop by an airport some day on my way to work.

So, that’s exactly what I did. My coach told me I’d either end up cleaning an airplane, or owning one—and he was right. I went to Cascade Aviation, a local airport, and found out how inexpensive it is to fly. I now have access to three airplanes for just $50 a month. Training only costs about $120 an hour with another $40 an hour for the flight instructor’s time.

“

If you want to actualize a dream, surround yourself with things and people that will make it a reality.

”

To earn a license, it’ll run you about $5,000 to $7,000 with approximately 50 hours of flight time. From there, you’ve got access to the planes. The cost of this ends up being a great deal.

I just want to let you guys know that you can fly, and it costs less money than you may think.

If you want to actualize a dream, surround yourself with things and people that will make it a reality. If you do this, you will accelerate the process of getting to your goal.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Oftentimes, homeownership can come with a lot of fears attached. Many people I speak to feel overwhelmed by the amount of work that goes into selling a home; they feel as if they just don’t know where to start.

Sometimes, they even fear the prospect that they could end up homeless as a result of not knowing how to make a smooth transition between selling their current property and buying the next.

Today I’d like to tell you about Real Estate Unlimited—a holistic approach to helping people achieve their goals.

I’ve worked personally with my team to find solutions that will compress the time of your transition between homes.

First, we have an investment company. This means we will buy your home for you if you’d like so you can make that perfect transition. With this solution, we also offer you the option of renting back the home you sold to us until you find your next one.

With Latham Realty Unlimited, this is part of our guarantee. We will sell your home or we will buy it. 

Additionally, if you buy a home from our team and aren’t happy with it within the first year, we’ll either buy it back from you or sell it for free.

A lot of people ask me, "When is the best time to sell my home?" While many people think that spring is the best time to sell, the real answer is whenever it's the best time for you!

If you wait too long, interest rates may go up and values may go down. It really doesn't matter what time you decide. If you sell at the peak of the market, you will pay more for your next home. If you sell at the bottom of the market, you will pay less for your next home. It's all relative. All that matters is what's best for you.

If you're wondering when to sell your home, my answer is right now. If you have any questions for my team or me, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Is Right Now a Good Time to Sell in Washington?

Today I'd like to talk about reasons why you should sell a home, and reasons why now is a great time to buy a home.

If you're wanting to buy a home right now, I would remember that interest rates are very, very low right now. Nobody is too sure about how long the Federal Government will keep these rates low, so the sooner you buy, the better off you will be. If you wait too long, you risk being priced out of the market. You can buy your dream home right now, but in a few months you may have to settle for much less.

Now on the flip-side, if you're looking to sell your home, right now is a fantastic time to do so because inventory is very, very low. You can't exactly name your price right now, but you can sell for top dollar in a matter of days. Buyers will be fighting over your home if it's in good condition and priced right.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you're looking to buy or sell. Now is a fantastic time to do either in this market.

We look forward to speaking with you!
