Purrfect Realty: Helping people find their perfect home while helping homeless animals

Purrfect Realty is not your ordinary real estate agency; Owner Gloria Ferrier founded the agency on the principles of helping animals in need, and donates all profits of the real estate business to this cause. Purrfect Realty’s commitment to their human clients is just as prevalent as their dedication to their four-legged patrons, and with 10 years of experience in the real estate industry, they have “purrfected” their excellent customer service.

Gloria founded Purrfect Realty on the basis of integrity and dedication, and believes in providing the best and most convenient service to her clients. Where other real estate agents might slack, Purrfect Realty will always come through. For example, once during a particularly difficult sale, Gloria found out that the home had not been signed off between all of the previous owners who had passed away. In order to sell the house, Gloria had to personally track down each previous owner’s next of kin so that they could sign a quick claim deed. Other real estate agents will overlook time-consuming tasks such as this, telling their clients to complete it on their own and then come back when finished.  But Purrfect Realty is different; they will take on these challenges in order to make their clients’ home buying process easier and much less stressful.

Purrfect Realty was born from Gloria Ferrier’s love of animals, and she’s been caring for them for more than the 10 years she’s been running her real estate agency. But back when both Gloria and her husband were working for AT&T, and  Gloria got involved in pet rescue, they could afford to use their salaries on the needy animals.

But once Gloria retired, she realized that her retirement pay was not going to allow her to keep paying the bills AND rescuing pets! And that meant no more spays and neuters, rescues or boarding strays on her property. Gloria wasn’t prepared to let that happen. And that’s what led her to real estate, she says. “I didn’t know what to do. I looked and looked for a new job. It was kind of funny—real estate was never a dream of mine! I was just looking through the newspaper at all the jobs, saw the ad and decided I’d go see what they had to say. This could work for me, I thought. And it did.”

Gloria actually found herself enjoying real estate, and has been doing it for the last 10 years. A few years ago, she earned her broker’s license and founded her non-profit real estate company, Purrfect Realty. Read the rest of this entry »

Advantages of Home Ownership

A Place of Your Own

Your home is your castle, as the old saying goes.  A home is a place to call your own.   Perhaps you are ready to settle down and want the feeling of permanence and involvement that comes with owning your own home.  Perhaps you need more living space.  Or maybe you want more freedom than you have in a rental unit to adapt your living space to your needs.

Financial Incentives

For many people, the motivation for home ownership is primarily financial.  Owning your own home is a first-rate investment for a number of reasons.

Scheduled Savings- when you buy a house, mortgage payments serve as a type of scheduled savings plan. Over time, you accumulate ‘equity’, an ownership interest in property that you can often borrow against or convert into cash by selling the house.

Stable Housing Costs- Rents typically increase year after year, the principal and interest portion of most mortgage payments remain unchanged throughout the entire repayment period.

Increased Value- Houses typically increase in value, or ‘appreciate’ over time.  The increased value is as good as money in the bank to the homeowner.

Tax Benefits- Interest paid on a home mortgage is usually deductible—this is a tax advantage not available to renters.
