When you need to know... talk to Mickey DeBernard

Dear Community,

www.NewHeritageRealty.com

Hiring a Local Realtor® is the Best Advantage when Buying or Selling Property

It isn’t just business; real estate is personal. A Home is the largest chunk of the American Dream and represents more than bricks, mortar and a roof. Family memories and history plus a large asset are all tied up in a complicated package when buying and selling real estate. Hiring a local Realtor® is an important component to a successful real estate transaction. Consider the unique factors and myriad of reasons drawing people to Moore County. Understanding the nuances of neighborhoods, golf clubs, schools and services, a local Realtor® knows area dynamics and has local experience.

Additionally, most Realtors maintain a

PAGE D3

database of buyers and sellers.

Accessing their contacts, properties receive the advantage of a Realtor’s sphere of influence as well as other marketing. Just as important, once a contract is in place, managing the numerous details and “bumps” to closing, a Realtor® helps their clients navigate the increasingly more complicated forms; restraints placed on appraisers, plus advice on the loan and inspection processes.

Working with a professional, experienced local Realtor® is the best assurance buyers and sellers employ to secure a successful real estate transaction outcome.

Your Property may help you qualify for tax advantages such as: Home Office Expenses: You can deduct the cost of maintaining a home office, provided: • You use it exclusively and regularly for administrative or management activities of your trade; • You have no other fixed location where you conduct those activities and • If you are an employee, the business use of your home is solely for your employer’s convenience.

Casualty Loss: If your property sustained damage from theft or natural disaster, you may be able to deduct the amount of your loss — minus any insurance reimbursement plus ten percent of your adjusted gross income.

Moving Expenses: Deduct the cost of packing, transporting or storing your household goods if

“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”

your new job location is at least 50 miles further than you previous home.

First-Time or Repeat Buyer Tax Credit: Homeowners who signed a sales contract by April 30, 2010 and closed on property by September 30 can claim a dollar-for-dollar tax credit — up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and up to $6,500 for repeat buyers. Remember that both tax credits are refundable. If you owe less than the amount of your credit, the government will send you a check for the difference, and any refund you are due will grow by the same amount.

Before claiming any deduction or credit, of course, it’s best to verify all deductions

with a tax professional or the IRS, which offers thousands of tips, publications and forms on their website at www.irs.gov.
