I’m Jeremy Washburn, and I’m a real estate guy with a passion for personal finance.
My real estate career has taken me from buying, fixing, and selling homes to founding my own real estate brokerage, developing residential and commercial properties, and writing about real estate and money.
I have an MBA with an emphasis in finance. But even with all that education and experience, I found myself sitting at my own kitchen table trying to figure out where my money was going—and how to get my Home in Order.
So I did what I do.
I started running the numbers.
I pored over spreadsheets, built models, and asked simple questions:
Where is all my money going? Did I really just pay that much interest? What would I actually save if I prepaid my mortgage—today? Tomorrow? And is there a better use for my money?
That’s where I discovered the foundations of Homes in Order: $1 = $5.
And then I discovered $2 = $1,000.
I learned that small amounts of money, used wisely and at the right time, can have a surprisingly large impact.
I learned how to see money differently.
And I wanted to share it.
That’s what Homes in Order is all about.
A Little More About Me
I’m happily married with three kids, and I enjoy having front-row seats to their lives—soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, track meets, bike races, friends, dates, piano recitals, and orchestra, band, and choir concerts.
I’m also a NICA-certified high school mountain bike coach, so when I’m not working with real estate, mortgages, or spreadsheets, there’s a good chance I’m somewhere on a mountain on my bike.
I’m glad you’re here.
