Meal Train for Beth Sweeney
Hi Cooper Landing,
Our community has lost a dear friend. We are heartbroken with the news of Ben Sweeney’s passing this past weekend. As we come together in this difficult time, we want to support his family, especially Beth during this unimaginable time. We’ve created a Meal Train to help ease Beth’s load and offer a bit of comfort to her. Please use the link below to sign up to bring a meal to Beth and her family as they navigate through.
Please contact me directly with any questions about the meal train.

Current Mortgage Rates as of 9/18/2024
Good Morning Neighbors. The Good news today is that the Mortgage Rates have gone down again!
- Conforming 30 Year Mortgage – 6.031 %
- 15 Yr. 5.39%
- FHA 5.867%
- VA 5.40 %
- USDA 5.75% This looks good for buyers who are considering a purchase. These rates have dropped in the past few months and may be what Buyers need to make that step. As you can see there are several types of loans out there to consider. Hopefully this will help our market in the near future. If you are considering a move please allow me to help you through this process. I have over 20 years of Real Estate experience and am a local here in Cooper Landing ready to work for you. Have a great day!!
