Unfortunately, real estate agents don’t always have all the answers. However, we can direct you to someone who does. 

If you ever ask us something we can’t answer, we’ll direct you to a source that knows more about the question than we do. Some common questions we get asked that we can help you with are: 

If we can’t answer your questions, we’ll find you someone who can.

1. Is this a safe neighborhood? I have all the police zones, telephone numbers, and maps to provide you with. The police will be able to answer what’s going on in a specific neighborhood. 
2. Should we be concerned about that crack in the wall? For this question, I have a list of home inspectors. You can pick any home inspector you want as long as they’re registered by the state and National Association of Home Inspectors and they will let you know what’s going on with that crack in the wall. 
3. How good is the school district here? I have a sheet with school-related links that should help you answer any questions you have about specific schools or districts. 

Something we can’t help you with is asking to be shown a home in a certain neighborhood based on race, ethnicity, backgrounds, etc. The fair housing laws forbid us to do that. We suggest you spend time in the neighborhood to see if it’s right for you. Walk the streets, go to restaurants, and see if you’re comfortable there. After that, we can show you all the homes in that neighborhood you want. However, it’s against federal law to show you a home based on the previously mentioned criteria.If you have any questions about how we can help you or you're looking to buy or sell a home, feel free to reach out to us. We'd be happy to help.

Did you know that I produce a magazine and send it out to hundreds of subscribers every other month?

You’re more than welcome to subscribe as well. We now have two different versions, a traditionally printed copy and a digital copy. The digital version has live video links that will allow you to see the different artists, chefs, and guided tours of different areas.

We have a print version and a digital version.

The magazine is called American Lifestyle, and I really think you’ll like it. If you’d like to join the subscription list for the print version, digital version, or both, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you out and I’d love for you to check out the magazine.

There are three ways AJM Mortgage sets themselves apart from the competition: they make it easy, they shop for you, and they’re always available. 

How do they make it easy? From the very start, a client can apply online or over the phone. 98% of their disclosures can be signed electronically with the click of a mouse. Additionally, all of the documents can be uploaded securely to their online website. 

They also do the shopping for you. They match each individual client’s needs to the perfect lender. Their approach to finding you the right lender focuses on a financial planning, so whoever they match you with will be able to help you achieve your long-term goals. They’ve also got some great products such as lender-paid PMI loans and conventional loans with as little as 3% down. They are also well versed in FHA and VA loans which can allow for a debt ratio of up to 60%. 

With AJM Mortgage, you can apply online or over the phone.

Finally, they know how important it is to be available. Buying a home can be an emotional process, but you can call Todd’s cell phone anytime. He’ll always make an effort to call or text you right back. In fact, Todd once did a mortgage application for a school teacher at 5:30 in the morning! They want to make sure they are getting back to you in an incredibly timely manner, which is a service you won’t get from everyone. 

If you have any questions for Todd, you can reach him at (412-855-4696) or email him at todds@ajmmortage.com. Calling him is the first step to purchasing your dream home! 

As always, if you have any questions or are looking to buy or sell a home, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email!
