Market Moment

Who actually sets mortgage rates.

September Market Moment with Tanya Kerr

In this September Market Moment, Tanya explains why the Federal Reserve does not directly set mortgage rates and what actually drives rate movement. She breaks down inflation, employment, GDP, the bond market, the 10-year Treasury, buyer financing strategies, builder incentives, and what sellers need to understand about monthly affordability in today's Central Texas real estate market.

Customer Success

A tall order, and the patience that paid off.

Julie and Nancy at their closing

A few months ago, Julie and her mom, Nancy, reached out to me with a very clear vision for their next chapter: they wanted to purchase a one-story home in the Hutto area with a driveway that was not steep.

Simple enough, right? Well, there was one BIG piece to the puzzle.

They needed to finance their new home, move into it, and then list their current home for sale so they could turn around and pay off the new home.

In this market, that was a tall order. But we had a plan.

Julie and Nancy found the home they loved, got it under contract, and then we got to work preparing their current home to hit the market.

Once we went live, things felt slow. And, as any seller knows, watching the days tick by without the offer you are hoping for can be discouraging. But instead of reacting out of frustration, we stayed focused on the strategy, watched the market, and most importantly, they remained patient.

And that patience paid off.

They received an offer they felt was fair, accepted it, and today we closed.

Now Julie and Nancy can finally take a deep breath, knowing their home is sold, their plan came together, and they can fully settle into this exciting next chapter.

I am so grateful they trusted me to help navigate a complicated move and even more grateful that we got to celebrate this moment together.

Congratulations, Julie and Nancy. Your next chapter is officially underway.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We interviewed 4 different realtors when getting ready to list our home in Georgetown for sale. Hands down, Tanya immediately impressed us and stood above all the rest. She came in ready to ask questions, take notes and provide her thoughts about the house while touring. Then, when presenting the T. Kerr approach, she didn't miss a single detail. But what stood out to me especially was how she took the time to explain the different realty terms or common things they come across when selling a house. All of the other realtors sort of just sped through their spiel, and as a first-time seller, it was overwhelming. Tanya and Taylor took their time and ensured we understood everything they brought to the table.

Once signed, the T. Kerr team made it super easy to stay on top of anything we needed to do and communication was flawless.

They took as much off of our hands as possible, like scheduling a roofing quote, searching for and hiring an electrician when a repair was needed, everything. We received notice each time there was a showing and any feedback the buyers had about the home or the listing.

With all of their hard work, we had 3 showings and we were able to close on our home within 21 days of listing. We were able to do everything virtually from out of state, which was a huge relief. We couldn't have had a better team behind us and highly recommend Tanya and her team. You won't be disappointed!
