Hola, "good morning." Probablemente debería decir buenos días. Porque estoy hablando del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, es del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre y sólo quería para tocar algunas estadísticas que había aprendido recientemente. También quería hablar de algunos de los estigmas asociados y desacreditó algunos de los mitos que he escuchado recientemente.
Así que voy a empezar con algunas estadísticas de N-A-H-R-E-T, que significa "National Asociación de Profesionales Inmobiliarios Hispanos. Y dicen que la tasa de propiedad de vivienda de las latinas ha subido al 48,4% en 2021 y que surgió del 47,5% en 2019. Y de 2019 a 2021 habrá serán 657.000 nuevos propietarios de viviendas que son hispanos.
Pero a pesar del aumento de las cifras y de la prevalencia de los hispanos y la propiedad de nuevas viviendas, los latinos son definitivamente desproporcionadamente afectados ...

Meet Charles Swain, Broker/Realtor® with KBT Realty Group - Keller Williams INNOVATE. Charles grew up in Wilmington North Carolina, and is one of the original team members on with KBT Realty.
This is where I grew up, out here, fishing, boating, clamming, crabbing, just about anything you can think of on the creek.
Hi. I'm Charles Swain from KBT Realty Group with Keller Williams Innovate. Just to tell you a little bit about myself, I've been in Wilmington for over 50 years. Moved to Wilmington when I was three years old, from Southport, which is only like 40-45 minutes from here. Grew up in the Ogden area, which is the north side of Wilmington - some would consider that - and just grew up with the creek in our backyard. Just anything that involves the seafood life and the coastal life, and just great memories of growing up as a kid and a teenager doing all that stuff and boating all the time with friends. And if we weren't here, we were at the beaches, Wrightsville Beach, Carol ...

Joanna Prinz, with KBT Realty Group in Wilmington, works with buyers and sellers in Jacksonville, North Carolina, and the neighboring coastal towns.
Meet Joanna:
Hi. My name is Joanna Prinz. I am an agent with KBT Realty. We're based in Wilmington, but my area is the Jacksonville, North Carolina area, which is north of Wilmington.
I grew up originally in Arizona, and it's a long story, but I came from Arizona and I lived in the mountains, and then my husband's job brought us to the coast, to Wilmington first and now Jacksonville. I have been in real estate for about three years, always interested in buying and selling homes.
I lived in Wilmington for ten years, and now I am here. I really enjoy the community. It has lots of things for families, children especially. As a family, we love going to the beach and going to the different parks. There's a wonderful park a little north of us that is called Hammock Beach Park, which you can go up. There's lots of hiking trails. You can ...

Being a homeowner is about much more than the walls that are around you. An experienced real estate agent understands all aspects of purchasing a home, from finding the neighborhood that best fits your lifestyle, to the financial intricacies of negotiation and closing.
If you are a buyer considering new construction for your next home, working with a real estate agent will ensure that you have a professional who is looking out for your interests. Although it is easy to walk into a model home and work directly with a builder, buyers often find that it is both confusing and frustrating to navigate the process on their own.

1. No Additional Cost
Working with a buyer's agent does not cost a prospective homeowner any additional fees, and does not increase the price of a new construction home. Buyer's agents are paid at closing by the builder/developer. Most real estate agents hav ...
