The Dove Team's Mission Statement 

We will provide the best service possible for every client we represent. To ensure the highest level of service, integrity and knowledge possible, we have committed to being reachable to all of our clients 24 hours a day - 365 days a year within 30 minutes or less. We do this not because of our clients expectations, but because of our commitment to their service.

We will never tell a client what they want to hear if it is not a reality. We will never enter into a client relationship where we know what is expected of us cannot be done in good faith. We acknowledge that we may periodically lose business because we are truthful with our clients and sometimes our competitors will tell them what they want to hear to temporarily get their business. In the long run, we know that our honesty will prevail.

We will always remember that to have a winning relationship for our clients, we must always have a mutual goal. We are neither slave - nor master, but fellow members of a winning team.

We will never lose sight that our honesty, loyalty, understanding, work ethic and creativity are what make us so very different from the real estate masses. We will always promote the best interest of our clients, and will always disclose to our clients all facts that might affect or influence their decision.

We will freely give of our time and money to help our community and charities. We will also attempt to educate our fellow agents, and to raise the standard by which REALTORS are measured in the public eye.

We will never forget that we owe to our clients everything that we are or might ever hope to be. They have placed us where we are today and they can easily take it all away.

We respect your time, and value your business. We know you could go anywhere for your real estate needs, and appreciate having the opportunity to serve you the best way we can.

Working in your best interest,

Steve & Anne

Real Estate Tips
Self Employed >No Problem

There is no doubt about the fact that it could be more difficult for you to get a mortgage loan if you are a free lance viola player than if you are a government accountant. Traditionally, lenders have been more cautious when evaluating loan applications from buyers who are self-employed than from those who work for a regular salary.

If you are self-employed, there is no reason for you to shy away from applying for a home mortgage loan, especially if your earnings have been in the same field for at least two years. Before you begin your search for a house, it is a good idea to meet with an agent of your choice who will be happy to accompany you as you meet with one or more loan officers. They will probably want to analyze your tax returns for the past 2 or 3 years. Because people who are self-employed can write off many expenses that salaried individuals cannot, it is possible that self-employed individuals may look impoverished on paper. Try to get pre-approval from the lender, and ask for a letter to that effect which the real estate agent can attach to any offer you submit on a home. This will make you look more attractive to the sellers.
