History of Writing Offers...

Real estate has come a long way since 1965! Back in the day, agents physically presented offers in person and negotiated across a table. While it was a little more time-consuming, it definitely had its perks—like instant answers to questions and lots of valuable info exchanged.

Today, things are much faster, but the need for a clear understanding and skilled negotiation has not changed. As contracts get more complex, it’s even more important to have a knowledgeable agent on your side.

SAVE ON YOUR TAXES

 

Thinking about buying a home? One of the biggest tax benefits of homeownership is the mortgage interest deduction—but how much can it actually save you? Let's break it down with a real-world example.

Example: Mortgage Interest Deduction for Year 3

Home Price: $500,000
Loan Amount: $400,000 (Assuming 20% down payment)
Interest Rate: 6% (Fixed)
Year in Loan: 3rd Year
Total Interest Paid (Year 3): ~$22,000

If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct that $22,000 from your taxable income!

Understanding tax benefits can help you plan ahead! Send me a DM or reach out if you have questions about the benefits of homeownership.

Tips For Buying a Fixer Upper...

 

Trying to buy a home but not finding anything in your price point?

But here are a few tips you’ll want to keep in mind if you go this route.

If you want to talk through if this makes sense for you or if you want to see what’s available, DM me.
