Thank You!
Michelle and I just wanted to thank you and your staff for a great experience in selling our home. We listed our home on March 7 and closed last Wednesday, May 30. This was our first time selling a home and everyone has been extremely patient with all of our phone calls and questions. We always felt like we were the most important customer when we walked in the door and that is hard to find these days. Your staff has been very comfortable to work with. Here’s a new slogan for you “Mike Watkins, your friends in the real estate business”, because that’s how we’ve felt through all this. I know that this is your “business” and a lot of people are selling “real estate”, but Michelle and I started our family here in this house and before us it belonged to my grandparents, so there are a lot of memories here. Mike Watkins Realty has made this a great 1st experience for us. I know they aren’t all this quick and easy but we have been extremely blessed in our lives and this is just another example of that. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone in the area and again, we appreciate your commitment to CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thanks again and God bless,
Brian, Michelle, Sam, Ellie, and Annie

Financing Your Home >If You Are Self Employed
There's no question 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 of buyers who are self-employed than people who work for a regular salary.
However, 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. It is a good idea to meet with one or more loan officers before you begin your search. They will probably want to analyze your tax returns for the past 2 or 3 years, keeping in mind that many self employed people can look impoverished on paper, since you can write off some expenses that salaried individuals can not. Try to get pre-approval from the lender, and ask for a letter stating that you have pre-qualified for a loan which your real estate agent can attach to any offer you submit on a home. This will make you more attractive to the sellers.
