Stacey also shares advice for first time buyers navigating the current market and her take on the phrase that says it all when it comes to buying in today's rate environment — marry the house and date the rate. It is an unfortunate situation that nobody plans for, but Stacey's expertise makes sure her clients come out the other side with clarity and confidence.
