The REALTOR® who shows you the payment other calculators hide.
In Fargo-Moorhead, special assessments can add hundreds to your real monthly payment. I'm Tasha Barrett, and making specials make sense is my specialty. Run the numbers yourself, free.
Two identical houses. Payments $300 apart.
Streets, sewer, water: in Cass County, cities bill that infrastructure to each property over 15 to 25 years with interest. It's called a special assessment, it rides on your property tax statement, and most buyers discover it at closing.
You should know it before you offer. That's the whole point of the calculator, and of working with an agent who reads the specials before you fall in love with the kitchen.

“Tasha worked hard to get us the best experience and the best deal. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure to give us as much information as possible at each showing and throughout the purchasing process. She was always kind and welcoming to our young children. We feel so lucky to have had her as our realtor.”
“She knew how hard it was emotionally for me to sell my house of 30 years, but she gave me the time and space to absorb it. She has sold and bought other homes for my family, so we call her our family realtor, and we are very proud of that. She works hard and she is mighty in what she does.”
“Tasha was AMAZING!! She is extremely knowledgeable on everything you need to know, and she makes sure you have an understanding of what is happening at every step. She makes buying a home easy and stress-free!”
