Five Reasons to Buy a Home
- Pride of ownership is a key reason for wanting your own home. Decorate it to your own taste and enjoy all of the benefits while making a great investment.
- Real estate over time has been considered a good investment because most of it has appreciated. The effects of leverage can multiply the increase when borrowed funds
are used to purchase the home.
Many times, the largest investment a person owns is their home. Homes have been a good hedge against inflation. Homeowners build equity and can borrow against that equity for a variety of reasons that could include college, medical, or to start a business. - Qualified mortgage interest and home equity loans are deductible for Income Tax purposes.
- Property taxes on a first or second home are deductible on for Income Tax purposes.
- Mortgage payments include the interest for the time that the money has been used and principal to retire the debt over a period of time. Each month part of the payment is for principal accumulation.
MLS Member
As a member of the Multiple Listing Service, I can show you any property. If you should see an ad in the paper or a sign in a yard, call me to find out the information. If you want to see it, I'll show it to you.
For Sale by Owner
Many times a homeowner will work with an agent, even though the home is not listed with a real estate broker. It is necessary for the agent to introduce the buyer to the property.
A homeowner trying to sell his home himself is usually doing so in hopes of saving the commission. Coincidentally, this is the reason a buyer wants to deal directly with a homeowner.
If you want to see a home offered by the owner and want the advantages of my services,
please let me contact the owner and set the appointment.
Builders Homes
Most builders are more than willing to work with agents who accompany the buyer to the property on the initial visit. And can get all the information you need to make any decisions.
By working through me with builders, you get all the services offered by me in addition to those offered by the builder. You'll get more, but you won't pay more for it.
