<p>When Oscar needed help finding his FIRST home, David Betancourt was there, combing through hundreds of properties to find the best deal in the neighborhood Oscar wanted.  Finally, after careful evaluation, they put together a deal on this home which ultimately closed without a hitch.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;My experience having worked with one of EWM&#8217;s professionals was most gratifying.  My EWM realtor not only took the time to get to know me; He also took the time to listen and understand what my needs were. Having a good understanding of what I was looking for, David B. worked with me for several months until we found the perfect home for me, in the right neighborhood, and his industry-experience played a key role in making sure i paid the right price for my new home.<span id="more-1217"></span></em></p>
<p><em>From the amount of time spent searching, to the valuable advise given throughout the process, to the ability to work around my schedule, my experience with EWM was the best that a first-time home-buyer could ever wish for.  The professionalism in which my case was handled, and knowing that I was working with a team of professionals made me feel I was in good hands through the closing of my new home on May &#8211; 2010. Thank You, David B for all your hard work, and helping a dream become true.  Sincerely, Oscar Gutierrez&#8221;</em> <em>(comment from happy Buyer, Oscar Gutierrez standing next to “EWM Guys” team member David Betancourt)</em></p>

<p>When Juan and his wife Rita decided to buy in Weston, they were looking for a deal!  Like everyone else, they wanted to capitalize on a short sale or foreclosure and do so in a timely manner.  Typically, distressed deals take an inordinate amount of time, especially short sales because of the 3d party (lender) requirements, verifications, BPOs and ultimately approval by the sellers lender that the shortfall amount will be accepted.  <em>*** this deal got done in 60 days!***</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I commend you and your team for a job well done. This was a tough deal and at the end all your efforts to close paid off . Thank you.&#8221; (comment from happy Buyer, Juan Naranjo standing next to &#8220;EWM Guys&#8221; team member James San Martin)</em></p>

The Gap Between Monthly Rents and Mortgage Payments is MINIMAL!
Years of falling home prices coupled with extremely low interest rates have arguably created one of the best Buyer&#8217;s markets ever (if you can qualify for a loan from a a lender who will actually lend money).
Tough Lending Standards &#38; Unemployment

<h3>The Gap Between Monthly Rents and Mortgage Payments is MINIMAL!</h3>
<p>Years of falling home prices coupled with extremely low interest rates have arguably created one of the best Buyer&#8217;s markets ever (if you can qualify for a loan from a a lender who will actually lend money).</p>
<h3>Tough<span id="more-735"></span> Lending Standards &amp; Unemployment</h3>
<p>Traditional lending standards have become the norm as bank and lending institutions stay routinely averse to risk.  And unemployment hovers around 10 percent.  These statistics wouldn&#8217;t suggest opportunity, but with depressed prices, Federal tax incentive programs and an abundance of distressed properties on the market, it really is a great time to buy.</p>
<h3>The Analysis of 45 Metro Areas</h3>
<p>Marcus &amp; Millichap Real Estate Investment Services conducted an extensive study in an effort to determine the real difference between monthly rents and mortgage payments.  The difference: $264, which, according to the study, is negligible and lower then the price difference of 1993.  The study was based upon:</p>
<p>[1] a 10% down payment;</p>
<p>[2] a 30-year fixed mortgage at 5.07%;</p>
<p>[3] buyer paid for <a id="aptureLink_7YMRiGrXs1" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenders%20mortgage%20insurance">PMI.<br />
</a></p>
<p>Obviously, geography plays a role and pricier markets like NYC still show a wide gap between renting and buying, but nationally speaking the study suggests a very revealing phenomenon, namely, that those who never EVER thought about buying are now beginning to wonder &#8230; f the cliche &#8230; all that talk about the American Dream, HOME OWNERSHIP, can possibly be a reality.</p>
