Now, Not Later! with Athena Paquette: Making Confident Decisions for Your Next Chapter in Real Estate

Real estate decisions are about more than where you live — they shape your finances, your relationships, and the future you want to build. Too often, buyers and homeowners hesitate, waiting for “perfect” conditions, only to lose valuable time, wealth, and opportunities they can’t get back. In Now, Not Later! , experienced mortgage strategist Athena Paquette delivers a clear, practical guide to making confident home-financing and homebuying decisions today. Drawing on extensive lending expertise and thousands of client success stories, she exposes the hidden costs of waiting: rising rents, shrinking purchasing power, lost equity, and the emotional toll of living in a home that no longer fits your life. This book is divided into two parts to meet you where you are. The first section empowers current homeowners to understand how to use their equity strategically to create freedom, convenience, and connection in their next phase. The second section speaks directly to renters, revealing the traps of renting and providing a step-by-step roadmap to break free and start building wealth through homeownership. Whether you’re preparing to move or ready to buy your first home, Now, Not Later! equips you with the clarity, perspective, and proven strategies to make smart financial choices and step into your future with confidence.
