Get the Straight Facts About What Can Make or Break the Sale of Your Home. Choose a Top REALTORŪ.  Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers? As a top Summit, Chathams, Livingston and Short Hills/Millburn area REALTORŪ with years of experience and a proven track record, it is my job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home: - Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market in Summit, Chathams, Livingston and Short Hills/Millburn, and the surrounding areas, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. I will do this for you, for free, and with no obligation. - Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! I make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home. - More buyers interested in your Summit, Chathams, Livingston and Short Hills/Millburn area home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home will help you get maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web, throughout the country and the world. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and other top national sites. The same day you list your home with me, I place your home on this web site! - When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the REALTORSŪ in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home! - I will walk through your home with you, and I will advise you how to 'stage your home' and present it to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! You should not spend time or money on details that will not make a notable difference in your sale. - Contracts can be complicated and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of my Summit, Chathams, Livingston and Short Hills/Millburn area real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. You pay no up front costs for my services! I work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help with the planning to smooth this out. Call or email me. Ask for a free market presentation of your Summit, Chathams, Livingston and Short Hills/Millburn area home. There is absolutely no obligation and there is a lot to learn!

First Time Buyers >The Real Bottom Line
An important part of buying a house is sitting down with your real estate agent or a mortgage lender to get a clear idea of how much you can afford. They will add up all of your monthly expenses, the mortgage payment, insurance, real estate taxes, homeowners or condo association fees--and the grand total can throw you into shock!
The important thing to remember is that the grand total isn't really the bottom line. When you add your tax savings to the equation, you may be pleasantly surprised. During the early years of your loan, almost all of the mortgage can be deducted from your state and federal income tax. The same is true of your real estate taxes. If you use part of your house as a home office, you may be able to qualify for additional tax savings. In some areas, homes with ground floor apartments are popular for offsetting part of the mortgage and offering even more tax savings.
When you make calculations about the monthly costs that include the tax savings, you may find that owning your own home is less expensive than renting a house or apartment of comparable size.
