About Terry Ballantyne

As the world becomes increasingly hectic, details fall through the cracks, personal attention is rare and sometimes just being heard is a challenge. I resist the notion that you have to accept that condition. Our complex lives demand that you work with someone who is doing their homework constantly, who is researching behind the scenes and who is diligently keeping pace with changes. We have twin evils now, the lender climate is brutal after Dodd Frank, and every detail matters. Prepare to be annoyed! New language, new demands, new hoops.... Be sure you are crystal clear on what to expect on both the loan and your lending team, whether you are a buyer or seller, these twin bugaboos can ruin an escrow. Up to date...... Are you confused in today's market? So much has changed. Email wasn't even with us in 1999, and now, mobile screens are dominate in marketing.. Your agent must update their marketing to speak to the latest code trend. The best photos in the world, that don't show up on a mobile device are of no value. Together with the guiding principles of Sereno, I put the client at the heart of the transaction and offer bias free advise that keeps the goals of the clients clearly at the forefront. There is no pressure and no company agenda to push, pull or manipulate you into a relationship or interaction that is not perfectly comfortable for you. You have your own process, your own matrix. My job is to clear the mental obstacles left over from your childhood conditioning, that mean teacher, your critical parent, or the paralyzing fear of making a mistake. That fear is the lynchpin to never moving forward in life. I can help, patiently. Will I understand you? You bet! I have helped vegetable lovers and carnivores, liberals and conservatives, home bodies and jet setters. I read between the lines so well I thought about giving up real estate to become a palm reader! I create a climate where you will feel safe to explore all your goals and misgivings and come to solid conclusions. It's what I love. Today's market provides many advantages. You can buy a home for an affordable number, first time home buyers have a shot, interest rates are still low, and you will secure low property taxes for the future. Don't focus on the negatives.. 92% of homeowners are paying their mortgages on time and when recently surveyed by the Pew Foundation, over 80% of folks were happy they bought and own their own homes even through this turbulent period! 76% of citizens of the US ages 35-45, still believe that owning a home is a solid investment. That percentage rises with age.
