Q: Why did you choose to be a Real Estate agent with RE/MAX Elite?

A: After reviewing our list of needs in a brokerage, Elite was the obvious choice, plenty of support without the interference with my business I had experienced at other brokerages.

Q: What do you think is the best thing about living in Brevard County Florida?

A: This is my hometown so beyond the obvious answer of proximity of family the plethora of outdoor activities we can experience as a family rate highly.

Q: Tell us about your favorite experience with one of your clients.

A: My six year customer! They wanted to list their home just after the market was crashing and I advised them to wait a bit to see what happened, six years later I was able to list and sell their home and find a new one for them.

Q: Tell us about your favorite charity or volunteer experience.

A: I enjoy working with the kids at our local gun club. You can literally see the change in attitude after lessons on safety and responsibility, something many adults are sorely lacking.

Q: Have you traveled outside the United States?

A: Sailed the Caribbean for three years, met many wonderful people and was able to dive just about every island along the way. Have a few tall tales that keep growing as well.

Q: What is your favorite sport?

A: Water sports in general but scuba diving/spear fishing tops the list.

Q: What is the most surprising thing to happen to you recently?

A: Watching my daughter grow and change on a daily basis, she is full of surprises!

Jumbo loans with 10% down payment

Dyer Mortgage Group is pleased to announce that we are now offering 10% down payment options for Conventional jumbo loans. Jumbo loans are loan amounts that are $417,001 or more (if the loan is $417,000 or less it is called a “conforming” conventional loan and will be sold to either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac).

If you have a buyer that wants to buy a home and borrow over $417,000 we may be able to help. Our 10% down program does not require that they be a Physician (some banks have 10% down only for Doctors). They don’t have to open a special bank account or sign up for automatic payments with the lender.

Dyer Mortgage Group offers free consultations and we will issue a pre-approval letter for qualified buyers; this will ensure that those buyers are qualified for the home they are making an offer on.

In addition to 10% down jumbo financing we offer VA jumbo financing for qualified Veterans. The down payment on a VA jumbo loan will vary depending on the sales price (generally the down payment is 5-12%). The loan can be up to $1,500,000 for VA. There is no down payment with a VA loan up to $417,000. VA jumbo loans don’t have monthly mortgage insurance, and the rates are lower than a conventional loan.

Please call Dyer Mortgage Group at 321-215-4419 with any questions or if you’d like us to assist you and your buyer. Thank you!
