An Introduction is in Order!
Hello, my name is Megan Kilmer, and I am a realtor, lender, and problem solver at Dream Catch Properties. We are a local, innovative company dedicated to helping you achieve your real estate goals in Santa Cruz County and beyond.
As a realtor, my responsibilities include assisting clients with buying, selling, leasing, renting, investing, and developing properties. I stay informed about market trends, provide investment advice, and negotiate deals.
In my role as a lender, I specialize in offering customized solutions to individuals interested in building and maintaining wealth, including generational wealth.
Santa Cruz County faces significant challenges in terms of housing affordability, both for renting and owning. To address this, we have taken creative measures. Our company has joined forces with a lending team under the umbrella company of revesthomes. One successful approach has been helping people purchase properties before selling their current ones. This can be achieved through bridge loans or by leveraging an offer on your property to secure higher financing for a replacement property. We are dedicated to finding innovative solutions like these.
Additionally, we are committed to the bigger picture in Santa Cruz County. There is a need to increase housing for very low income, low income, and moderate income individuals by up to 350%. As a stakeholder in the 2023 Santa Cruz Housing Element, we actively contribute to shaping plans for new housing at the County level.
To address housing needs, we can secure mezzanine financing for large development projects. Mezzanine financing involves smaller short-term loans during construction, reducing interest and making larger projects more affordable.
Our company stays ahead of changes in the real estate industry. We have a strong social media presence and offer a comprehensive marketing package. Recognizing that virtual marketing is crucial, especially with 80% of people searching for properties online, we are deeply invested in technology and fintech. We aim to streamline documentation processes and create a centralized hub for vital documents such as home purchase, title records, and home inspections. Additionally, we assist people in setting up financial accounts aligned with their goals for saving for a downpayment.
Furthermore, we are committed to helping homeowners avoid exploitation by the house flipping industry. Our products allow you to undertake premarket renovations on your property before selling, ensuring you get the best return on your investment. The best part is that these renovations are financed by a no-interest loan, which is repaid after the sale of your property.
In summary, Dream Catch Properties dreams big, solves problems, and embraces the forefront of changes in the real estate industry. Our commitment is to provide security, foster wealth growth, and build generational wealth for everyone in our community and beyond.
