Mortgage Calculators
Welcome > Resources > Mortgage Calculators > Buying Points ...

 

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
Selling Your Home >Open House

If your home has been on the market for a few weeks, your real estate agent may suggest an "open house." Your agent puts up signs, gives you some pointers about how to prepare your home for showing and shows up early on Sunday morning. You may be tempted to stay around, but the best advice is to leave while your home is being shown!

When sellers are present at an open house, they can hamper the sales professional's ability to cultivate interested buyers, and can even squelch a sale. What would your response be, for instance, if someone strolls into your kitchen and says, "What awful wallpaper!" If prospective buyers know that you as the owner are present, they might feel reluctant to express their objections and concerns openly and directly to your agent. If your objective is to get your home SOLD, the best thing to do is to get out of the way and let the sales professional do the job.

We have become the Lakes Area’s top Real Estate team for one reason, and one reason alone: we give each and every one of our clients the loyalty, professionalism, and personal care that we would a member of our own family. Real Estate is a business, to be sure, and because we know it better than any other firm in shouting distance we are able to offer better service through advertising and our negotiating skills. But we are even more proud of our most ordinary daily achievement, which is to develop warm, human relationships with our clients in which we personally demonstrate the highest levels of commitment, expertise, and perhaps above all, good timing. We love the Lakes Area and we know it from the inside out. Working together, we promise that you will be delighted not only with the outcome we achieve but the way we have achieved it.
