   I enjoy working with individuals and families to help them achieve their goals; whether it is buying that first home, moving up or downsizing, moving into the area or transferring out. My job is not to sell you the most expensive house you can afford, but rather to find the house that fits your desired budget. It is an exciting process and I try very hard to make it as stress-free for you as possible. By handling my profession in this manner, I have been successful in achieving my goals and find that 78% of my clients are past clients, referred to me by people who know me, and/or have used my services in the past. In 1997, I was named "Rookie of the Year" for the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Board of Realtors and each year has been consistently better than the past with 2001 finding me the top sales associate in my firm. My designations include:
Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager
Certified Residential Specialist
Accredited Seller's Representative
Corporate Mobility Specialist
1997 Waterloo/Cedar Falls Board of Realtors Rookie of the Year
GRI Graduate Realtors Institute

Self Employed >No Problem There is no doubt about the fact that it could be more difficult for you to get a mortgage loan if you are a free lance viola player than if you are a government accountant. Traditionally, lenders have been more cautious when evaluating loan applications from buyers who are self-employed than from those who work for a regular salary.
If you are self-employed, there is no reason for you to shy away from applying for a home mortgage loan, especially if your earnings have been in the same field for at least two years. Before you begin your search for a house, it is a good idea to meet with an agent of your choice who will be happy to accompany you as you meet with one or more
loan officers. They will probably want to analyze your tax returns for the past 2 or 3 years. Because people who are self-employed can write off many expenses that salaried individuals cannot, it is possible that self-employed individuals may look impoverished on paper. Try to get pre-approval from the lender, and ask for a letter to that effect which the real estate agent can attach to any offer you submit on a home. This will make you look more attractive to the sellers.
