Real Tools. Real Mindset. Real Results.
🧠 What Financial Freedom Really Means
It’s not about yachts — it’s about choices and peace of mind.

Grow, Guard, Give — the only three flows that matter.
💳 Breaking Up with Bad Debt

Spend. Save. Invest. Give. Every dollar needs a job.
🚨 Emergency & Opportunity Funds
Be ready for the bad days and bold moves.
📊 The New Budgeting Rules
It’s not restriction — it’s redirection. Make your budget future-forward.

Use appreciation, cash flow, and tax breaks to build real wealth.

It got you the house. Now it gets you leverage. Use it smart.

Sleep rich: dividends, rentals, royalties, and more.
📉 Investing for the Everyday Earner
No trust fund needed. ETFs, IRAs, and compounding for the win.

Thanks for stopping by — I don’t take it lightly.
Most of the people I work with come through friends, family, or past clients who trust me enough to refer someone they care about.
The truth is, most of my friends end up becoming clients… and most of my clients end up becoming friends.
This isn’t just business to me — it’s personal.
Let’s find you the right home — and have some fun doing it.
Q1: Do I have to pay your commission out of pocket?
A: Almost never. The 3% in the agreement is just to protect us legally — it’s nearly always paid by the seller as part of the deal.
Q2: What happens if I go to an open house or click on a Zillow listing?
A: Just let them know: “I’m working with Charles O’Rourke from RE/MAX First Class.” That’s it. I’ll take it from there.
Q3: Can I cancel this agreement if I change my mind?
A: 100%. It’s a day-to-day agreement. If I’m not your guy, you’re free to walk. No hard feelings — just let me know.
Q4: What if the seller isn’t offering a full commission?
A: I’ll always negotiate to get what’s fair in the contract. If we have to get creative, I’ll find a way. I’ll never let commission block you from buying your dream home.
Q5: Why do you recommend your attorney and title company?
A: They’re battle-tested. Fast, communicative, and on your side. It also allows me to waive any upfront retainer — I know the deal will be tight.
Q6: Do I need to use your mortgage rep too?
A: Nope. But I do recommend working with someone responsive, local, and trusted. If you already have someone, great — if not, I can introduce you to a few winners.
Q7: What if I find a FSBO or off-market deal?
A: Great — send it to me. I’ll contact the seller, vet the property, and represent you just the same.
Q8: Can I buy new construction with you?
A: Absolutely — and you should. Builders often hope you’ll walk in unrepresented. With me by your side, you’ll avoid traps and get the best terms.
Q9: What’s the deal with the charity donations you make?
A: Every closing I do results in a donation — in your name — to Tunnel to Towers or St. Jude’s. You choose. It’s part of the “Mission Over Commission” mentality I run on.
Q10: How soon can we start looking at homes?
A: The moment we sign the agreement and confirm your pre-approval, I start hunting. I check listings multiple times per day.
Q11: What if my loan gets denied at the last minute?
A: It happens. But if you’ve followed the plan, we’ll pivot fast. I have lenders and tools to help rework and recover.
Q12: Why should I work with you over anyone else?
A: I don’t just help you find a house — I help you compete, win, and close. With 20+ years in this market, strong local networks, and a mission-driven business model, I fight for every client like they’re family.
