Interest Rates on the Rise

The economy is coming back up and looking like it has a good future in store for us. However, with rise in the economy that means that interest rates to purchase a home are on the rise as well. Don't worry though, they are still very low compared to what they used to be at. 

What does this mean for you as a buyer?

Basically, this means if you've been thinking about purchasing a home but want to get the best deal and have been waiting for the best interest rates to show up; you've waited long enough. Now is the time to buy. Interest rates, unfortunately, aren't going down anytime soon but they are going up. It's a slow climb so you do have time to look around and not rush but why miss this opportunity to get into the home of YOUR dreams!

What does this mean for you as a seller?

Luckily, the selling market is turning toward your favor! If you've been thinking about selling your home now is the time! With rates low more and more buyers are coming out, especially first time home buyers. Well, what does that mean? That means we are seeing multiple offers on properties, meaning you're more likely going to get your asking price for your home. One thing to keep in mind is that pricing is everything. In order to sell quickly and get multiple offers your home has to be priced at the correct market value! It's YOUR time to sell

If you're looking to buy or sell, give me a call today and we can get you on the road to get closed before you know. The market is always changing, but we have the resources to know what it's doing.

For the Lamb's Reward

Meaning Behind My Motto

My motto or slogan is, "For the Lamb's reward" and I got this from an internship I did called Desperation Leadership Academy at New Life Church here in Colorado Springs. "For the Lamb's reward" comes from what is called the Moravian movement out of Herrnhut, Germany. The Moravians were a group of Protestant Christians that placed a high premium on Christian unity, personal piety, missions, music, and prayer. They were exiles to Saxony in 1722 from Moravia, hence the Moravian movement and church.

One popular story told about the Moravians is about the "Moravian slaves." Being as set as they were on missions they wanted to do missions everywhere, including in St. Thomas and St. Croix. The only way for them to get to these places to reach the slaves as they wanted to they had to sale themselves to become slaves. They were greeted with much opposition and many people tried to stop them for their own safety. As they bored the ship and began to sail away they are reported to have yelled out to their loved ones on the dock, "May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward for His suffering."

I have taken this to heart and decided to include it as part of my work. Everything I do I should do it to give a reward to my Lord who was slain. I do not serve myself or money but Jesus Christ. It's very important to me that others know this and know that I am not simply by myself in my journey of Real Estate but that I have my King beside me and He comes before everything else in life and my career. I will continue to live by this and will continue to achieve pour out my life so that the Lamb that was slain shall receive His reward for His suffering and I shall become lesser and Him Greater.

Lets Get to Know Each Other!

Well, I guess you want to know a little about me. I am Colton Weatherford of Colorado Springs, CO. I work with Keller Williams Clients' Choice on the Colorado Springs Best Real Estate Team with +Pamela Weatherford, also my mother. Basically we are a mother-son team. Well now business stuff is out of the way for a bit, lets tell more about who I am. I was born in Gallup, New Mexico and moved out here to Colorado when I was four years old. I am the fourth child of five boys from two great parents, +Terry Weatherford and +Pamela Weatherford. My father is a firefighter/paramedic/general contractor.

I moved around the Colorado area a bit but all near Colorado Springs. I was raised being home schooled till my junior year when I went to public school at Peyton High School. I'm a country type of guy having been raised with horses and doing 4-H showing all types of animals from rabbits to horses to sheep. Hard work and competition is engrained in me as part of my nature, in a way to say. I've always played basketball since I was a child but got into it competitively my freshman year. I wasn't the best at that time, okay, I was horrible, I had the skill level of a sixth grader in ninth grade. By my senior year I was starter on my varsity team. We went to state but lost in the first by a buzzer beater, still remember that feeling and all the sights, sounds, and smells.

 I started working in the restaurant industry my senior year after the basketball industry. I worked there for two years, by the end of the first year I was a supervisor for the store. After two great years I was ready for something new, after debating my choices I decided to pursue a career in Real Estate. It took a little longer to get the classes and exams completed but it got done. During the time of my classes I worked with my mom as her personal assistant. It was a great way to learn the ropes of the Real Estate industry while studying for it. I've got some courses under my belt that I've taken at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

That's the basics of who I am, basically I am a cowboy who loves basketball and is in Real Estate. This blog will keep you up to date on what the market is doing and some stories along the way. I hope you enjoy. And if you ever need any Real Estate help contact me! You can follow me on Facebook as well! Until next time, God bless!
