"You guided us, and for that we thank you."
Linda, you not only helped us out as our agent, but you also many times put the fire under the mortgage company to get things moving when they were dragging their feet. How many times did I call you in desperation because calls from them weren't being returned....and within minutes you got to the root and had answers for us. We would highly recommend you to anyone interested in buying real estate in Ocean City. You guided us, and for that we thank you.

First Time Buyers >More Down Payment Help
One of the most common deterrents to first-time home buyers is the lack of a down payment. However, the home loan industry has practically re-created itself in the last ten years, making it easier than ever to obtain a mortgage, and new mortgage programs are always cropping up.
Some states sponsor loan programs that allow buyers to purchase a home without putting any money down. A parent or other relative can guarantee repayment of ten percent of the loan if the buyer defaults. The only cash needed is for the closing costs, which typically run about three percent of the loan. Parents can also give their children down payment help through a personal note or second trust deed. The terms can be set up for monthly payments or annual payments amortized over a period of time. You could pay the interest only, and have the payoff due when the property is sold.
With so many alternatives, doesn't it make sense to call your real estate agent for a free consultation? You may be closer to home ownership than you think.
