H OMEOWNER ’ S O PPORTUNITY YOU MAY WANT TO SELL YOUR HOME ONCE YOU REALIZE THE OPPORTUNITIES. Happy New Year is a dubious expression to many homeowners. I am taking a positive, constructive approach to selling in this challenging year. There is an amazing silver lining for many of us if we are willing take off the blanket of negativity. If you have been wanting or needing to sell your home & are looking for a new one, there has never been a better time to do it! We have had a real estate recession since October 2005. Many owners are concerned about their losses & don’t realize their opportunities. Here are your opportunities: • The property you are purchasing will cost you less, negating the losses from selling your home for less. • You have more choices than ever to find the perfect home. In a seller’s market you may have as few as two potential choices and no time to negotiate a good price or the home will be sold. • Interest rates are lower than ever. Prices are down. Interest rates are down. Your money goes a long way. It is amazing what you can buy for an incredibly low monthly payment. • Your capital gains tax will be less with a lower sales price. You may pay no tax. • Property tax for many will be 20 to 50% less than what you are paying now for a comparable property. A good marketing & negotiating real estate professional will sell your home for the highest price possible & negotiate the purchase of your new property at the lowest price possible. Navigating through the complicated process with a true professional will give you the most phenomenal results that you could ever imagine. My team is ready to create these results for you. Make this a truly Happy New Year
