"Sold our home in just 58 days!"
Nicky, I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for the awesome service that you gave us in the listing and sale of our home. I can’t believe you sold our home in just 58 days! This was amazing to us as we had our home off/on the market for over two years!! I appreciate all of your recommendations and ideas in helping to stage our home. I believe that made a huge impact on creating a more warm and inviting feel to our home. I know that when we interviewed you, I hit you with a lot of tough questions. You had immediate answers. I was very impressed that you were ready with a marketing strategy to sell our home that was different than most other companies that we had talked to. I remember that when we first visited with you that I had multiple items that buyers had given us negative feedback on. With a smile on your face and a cheer in your voice, you put forth an immediate plan of action addressing how to overcome these problems, even the obvious backing up to the highway problem! We were so pleased that even with there being an abundance of homes on the market in our price range, you were still able to show our home at least twice a week. Your care, knowledge, and communication with us during this process has been unlike any other realtor we have had experiences with in the past. We appreciated the fact that you were always prompt in answering our questions or concerns AND that you were always prompt in providing feedback from a showing of the home. We had listed our home with two other real estate companies over a period of almost two years. Of the three companies, Element Realty by far exceeded our expectations with marketing, customer service, and with your sales experience. You were always on top of things, guiding us through all of the details of the sale of our home. Thank you for your creative marketing ideas and for your optimism in selling our home! Because it was such a joy and pleasure to work with you and your staff at Element Realty, we continually refer people to your office and will relist with you and your company again!!! Thanks again for everything and most of all for a home sold in 58 days!

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions
Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.
The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.
Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.
