Most agents make it a point to tell you that they're the smartest real estate professional ever. But where is all of the info to back it up? I would rather give you all the information you need to make an informed decision when it comes to buying or selling your home. I love working with informed clients. I find that our transactions go much more smoothly when we all understand the process and we're all on the same page. Here are just a few things that I wanted you to know about real estate.

Did you know that one of the major reasons homes don't sell is because potential buyers can't see themselves in the home? Try staging your home to be as generic as possible.	Did you know that a 5% down payment is not always a requirement for a home mortgage? There are numerous loan programs that allow buyers to get a loan for less that 5%
Did you know that when selling a home, some closing costs can be negotiated as part of the contract?	That all of the interest you pay toward your home mortgage is tax deductible?
Not all home improvements add value to your home. In fact, some "improvements" actually detract from the overall value of the property. Improvements that pay	Most lenders require a title insurance policy on the property? Lenders require this to protect their investment in your loan.

These are all very basic real estate facts. If you are interested in learning more about real estate or if you are thinking of buying or selling a property, feel free to contact me. I'd love to help you with your next transaction.

Sincerely,
