Dear Fellow Realtors: Two Reasons Why You Should Trust Me with Your Referrals
 I want to be your preferred referral. I have a great track record, so you can feel confident referring important clients to me. I have relocated many individuals and families, and work with many Realtors on a referral basis. You can trust me to handle your referral professionally in all ways. I guarantee you two other items: #1 Within the first contact with the client I will notify you whether I am the best agent for your client. If not, I will help you find the next best agent at no cost to you. This can be important especially when you don't know anyone personally in your clients chosen area. You don't want to be embarrassed by referring your good client to an amateur. #2 I guarantee your referral fee payment immediately at the close of escrow. No waiting, no hoping. I am grateful for your trust in me so rest assured you will always get paid when you work with me. Please contact me. Call, or fill out the form below.

Tax Considerations >Tax Breaks
Most homeowners are keenly aware of the interest tax deduction on their home loan, but there are many other tax breaks which are often overlooked at income tax time. Pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest in the year of sale are deductible. You will find these amounts listed on your closing settlement statement. If you paid off your mortgage and had to pay a pre-payment penalty, it qualifies as tax deductible interest. If you paid an "acquisition mortgage loan fee" on a home loan, this fee can be deducted as itemized interest. Home improvement loan fees are also deductible. Any remaining loan fees from re-financed or paid-off mortgages are fully deductible at the time of the mortgage payoff.
Certain items don't qualify as deductions, but can be added to the cost basis of your home, such as transfer taxes, recording and title fees, and special local property tax assessments for new sidewalks, streets, or sewers.
Don't be intimidated by the tax code! A little research or consultation with an expert can help you maximize your real estate tax advantages.
