Check out your Credit Reports

Long before you ever make loan application to buy your new home, if you suspect there may be something on your credit report that might cause a problem, you should investigate it.

The federal law requires credit bureaus to share this information with you. In most instances, you may receive one in-file report per year at no charge.

Here is the link for the free credit report: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/

It may be difficult to understand, which is why they will send you a booklet explaining their code system. You may want to make an appointment with a credit counselor to answer any specific questions you may have. Just give us a call and we will help you get started.

If you ever have any questions about anything involving real estate, please send us a message, schedule a time for a phone or video call, or give us a ring!

From start to the end of my new home purchase, Steve was always available to answer my concerns and would communicate any updates. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about the process of purchasing and selling and along with that he has a calmness that helped me not be anxious. Honestly, and he probably does not know, but if I did not have him as an agent, I would have walked away from this purchase. I am grateful that I did not, because I love my new home. My purchase was modest by some means, however Steve oversaw it in a high end professional manner. I will be forever grateful for the day that Steve Dean came highly recommended to me. Martha

Eddie Rangel and Steve Dean were very knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole process of listing and selling our co-op. They were especially responsive to all our questions. They helped us to decide what needed to be done before the actual listing and kept us informed after every open house. I have already made a referral and our closing was just last week.

Great vibes and easy to get along with which is 90% of the process. I loved working with Eddie, he helped me buy the Condo 8 years ago, then sell it remotely. The experience was easy, as he took care of everything.

Over the past five years, we have completed two sales transactions of D.C. co-ops with Eddie and Steven and couldn't be more pleased. They took care of details we didn't even know required attention. They kept us informed of the selling process every step of the way. The first time they represented us, we were selling a unit of ours that had a tenant. Eddie and Steve are very knowledgeable about DC tenant law, and took great care to handle all the steps properly. This last time, to sell our home they held multiple open houses, and when an offer came our way, they offered expert advice as to how to negotiate. We felt enormously confident with their skills and attention to detail and would definitely use them again.

Eddie and his partner Steve were absolute wizards! This was my (and my boyfriend's) first ever experience buying a home and we honestly had no idea how to proceed.... it seemed like a daunting, difficult, nearly impossible process at the beginning. In fact, we had tried working with another realtor for a almost a year, but got nowhere. Once we met Eddie and Steve, we immediately knew we were in good, professional hands. They helped us every step of the way and were exceptionally supportive, informative, available, organized, methodical, and not to mention - all-around great guys to be around!! Our entire home-buying experience was a breeze thanks to them! My boyfriend and I are now the very happy owners of the cutest little home in our favorite DC neighborhood. We would highly recommend Eddie and Steve, because we are absolutely certain they would do what's in your best interest!

Eddie is incredibly knowledgable about the SW neighborhoods and market. As soon as we decided to sell he visited the property, made upgrade suggestions, and had contractors in there within days. He oversaw the work, and kept us up to date through out it. As soon as it went on the market, he was prompt with other agents, and our place was under contract within 10 days. He went above and beyond with all of the parties involved to make sure everyone get comfortable with the sale, and helped moved everything along. Through out the short, but stressful process as we lived far away, he was always accessible, encouraging, and cheerful. Eddie helped us buy the property and then sell it. We would never use anyone else in Washington. We HIGHLY recommend Eddie to anyone!

Eddie and Steven helped us buy our condo, & I don't think I could have done it without them. They are the best. They are experts, & they are always available. On top of all this, they are some high quality dudes. I recommend them as agents wholeheartedly.

I could not have asked for a better first time buying experience working with Eddie and Steve. They are truly experts not only in the SW DC area, but in every realm of real estate procedures. As a first time buyer, I admittedly had many questions, and their patience and prompt responsiveness was more than appreciated. Their high ratings exist for a reason, and I hope I have the chance to work with them again!

Eddie and Steve were an absolute joy to work with. As a first time home-seller and living out of state I was concerned I would have to make trips back and forth and worried about my inexperience. Eddie and Steve made the entire process a breeze from start to finish. Their expertise and professionalism made some challenges along the way much easier to manage. I especially appreciated their help with home repairs and cleaning since I was unable to be in town for the repairmen to come in and out of the apartment. I highly recommend Eddie and Steve and would definitely work with them again in the future.

My wife and I recently purchased our first home in D.C. thanks to the tremendous expertise and support of Eddie Rangel and Steve Dean of RE/MAX Allegiance. At a time when many of our friends are foregoing “traditional” real estate agents, we found their professionalism, customer service, and subject matter knowledge indispensable during our first home-buying process. Eddie and Steve are consummate professionals. We began working with them from afar several months before moving to D.C. They asked us thoughtful questions that helped us narrow our home search. During open houses and interactions with potential sellers and other agents, we noticed that Eddie and Steve were consistently better prepared than any of their counterparts. If we had a question (e.g., What would the taxes be on this one, again?), they could whip out their phones or pull out a file and have the answer in seconds. While Eddie and Steve demonstrated tremendous professionalism, they were incredibly patient with our inexperience, and our many questions. Their customer service and responsiveness made us feel immediately comfortable. They responded to our emails quickly and with the detail we needed to feel confident during our search. They were patient as we narrowed our search and adjusted their tactics accordingly. They employed email, text, DocuSign, Skype and always got back to us the same day we reached out. They were equally pleasant in person. Finally, Eddie and Steve demonstrated the subject matter knowledge and attention to detail necessary to ensure we were competitive in a hot D.C. market. They provided us with the local context and nuance behind certain laws and regulations specific to D.C. They helped us adjust our offer timing to ensure we were competitive, and during a somewhat opaque offer process, they helped us adjust our strategy to ensure we didn’t get outbid. In the end, we successfully closed on a home we love at a price we can afford. We will definitely be recommending Eddie and Steve to all of our friends.
