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.

This or That?


🏡 City Convenience or Suburban Serenity—What Feels Like Home to You? 🌆🌳

Do you prefer the vibrant energy of city life with easy access to dining, entertainment, and walkable amenities? Or does the tranquility of the suburbs, with a slower pace, make a house feel like home?

Which one suits your lifestyle best? Drop your choice below!

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.
