Hollywood takes great pleasure in creating hysterical sitcoms and comedies on the subject. With each generation comes along a new set of dynamics. What seems to remain constant is that rebooting and getting a fresh start is not uncommon--particularily due to the strenuous recent decade.

NOW! Why? Mortgage rates are incredibly low, 3.81%. In fact, it’s the lowest they’ve been in years. Recently, Bankrate posted an article, “No Siesta for Mortgage Refinance Fiesta”, stating that the 30-year mortgage are the lowest they’ve been in over 52 weeks.

It’s here already, New Year’s Eve! Can you believe it?! It feels like only yesterday we were celebrating “Y2K” and 1999, by Prince, was being played everywhere. The computers never crashed as we transitioned into 2000…and, in just a few short hours the calendar will forever change to 2015. Yes, 2015!!

The previous 15 years have brought about a lot of change in the United States. The economy and housing market took a hit in 2008, but we’re tough and resilient and we have climbed back with deeper awareness. 2014 was a great year for the Barry Berg Group and we’d like to share a few of our top memories:

  1. “We scheduled a photo shoot on the closing night of the Minneapolis Aquatennial to capture the fireworks from the perspective of our Phoenix…
