Will Buying Points Save You Money?

Should you buy points? Buying points when you close your mortgage can reduce its interest rate, which in turn reduces your monthly payment. But each "point" will cost you 1% of your mortgage balance. This calculator helps you determine if you should pay for points, or use the money to increase your down payment. Click on the "View Report" button to review your information.

Real Estate Tips
Working With An Agent >An Artful Compromise

People who try to sell their own homes begin to appreciate the expertise of professional real estate agents as soon as their first offer comes in. They want to sell their home, and they have found prospects who want to buy. But what happens next?

When the negotiating process begins, things can get "sticky". First, there are personalities involved, and real estate transactions can be stressful and challenging. The buyers may seem unreasonable if they make an offer that is considerably less than the sellers are willing to accept. At that point the buyers may become offended by the sellers' attitude.

When professional real estate agents are involved, the process is much less adversarial. The two parties see very little of each other until the rough edges have been smoothed out and there has been a meeting of the minds. Good real estate agents know how to keep personalities out of the transaction and to help both sides reach a mutually agreeable compromise.
