Smooth and Fun
Working with the WGA Real Estate was a dream!
Janele S. 7-2007
 We love these guys, over and over we were told we could not afford the home we wanted. Connie & Shawn not only got us the loan, they got us the home of our dreams. We have never been happier!

 It feels so good! Connie & Shawn are the best, call them, we are so glad we did! It was fun and so stress free, Connie sold our old home and Shawn helped us to find a new one, so fast we were in before Christmas! We couldn't be happier!

 Connie you are the best! We will never look at the buying and selling process the same again. Your came in honestly and had energy and got us sold during the worst real estate season in years. When my company told me that I would have to uproot my family and move them to Tustin, I didn't think we could do it. Not only did you get us more money than we ever thought, you helped us move into Tustin so seemlessly that it feels like we have been here forever. If you ever need a referral, I'm here for you, just like you were always there for me!

First Time Buyers >Affording A Home
Are you getting ready to buy your first home? It is important to know how much you can afford before you begin looking at properties. Talking with a lender and getting pre-approved for a loan puts you in a stronger negotiating position with sellers.
As a rule, your monthly housing costs should not exceed 28% of your monthly pre-tax income. These costs include the mortgage payment, real estate taxes, and insurance. If you have long-term debts, such as student loans or car payments, your monthly payments, including your housing costs, should be less than 36% of your pre-tax monthly income. Some loans, such as VA and FHA loans, are more flexible with these basic guidelines.
Depending on which type of mortgage you select, you can consider houses in various price ranges. An adjustable-rate mortgage will usually enable you to qualify for a higher loan amount. Your real estate agent can help you make the basic calculations. Remember that buying at the top end of your price range gives you more time to outgrow your home, and can save you money over the long term.
