10 Things Every Buyer Should
Know Before Purchasing A Home
1. We can show you any home and represent you whether it is listed on the
multiple listing service with another broker, a builder, or even a For Sale
By Owner home.
2. Based on our years of experience, and many relationship in the business, we
can refer to you preferred service providers that you can use during and
after your home closes excrow.
3. We will represent you exclusively as your buyer's representative. This
means looking out for your interests first, even before ours.
4. We will let you know exactly what we will do to get the right home for you and
then manage the transaction to make sure the escrow closes. We don't just
show houses--we manage the process of real estate.
5. We will commit to provide you with the highest level of service and advice and
you can benefit from our experience and knowledge of the real estate business.
6. It is never too early to find a great Realtor® to work with. You should
always interview any agent you decide to represent you, ask about their
experience, how well they communicate, their knowledge of the business,
how long they have been a Realtor®, and exactly what they will do to help.
7. Property taxes and qualified interest are deductible on an individuals
federal income tax return.
8. Often, a home is the largest asset an individual has and is considered one of
the most valuable investments available. And it is one of the few
investments that you can enjoy by living in it.
9. A portion of each amortized mortgage payment goes to principal which is an
investment.
10. A homeowner can exclude up to $500,000 of capital gain tax if married and
filing jointly or up to $250,000 if single or filing separately. The home must
have been the taxpayers principal residence for the previous two years.
This is the greatest tax benefit we have as Americans.
