After joining RJRE in 2001, I worked my way up to become the first new designated broker in more than three decades and only the third in the company's history, following founder Russell Jones and his son Allan.
My solid reputation for good customer service made me the best choice to be selected by the four partners to lead the family-based company for its next generation of client service.
Although I was teaching elementary school prior to moving to Seattle in 2001, I was no stranger to the real estate business.

Before you can determine which loan is right for you, you need to have an understanding of how each type of loan works and the costs and benefits of each.
Let's start with the two basic types of loans that most buyers have to choose from.
Fixed rate mortgages are exactly that - the interest rate remains fixed for the life of the loan.
Monthly payments are fixed (for the principal and interest).
Note that if your property taxes and homeowners insurance are included in your mortgage payment, these are paid through an "escrow" account which can fluctuate from year to year.
