Real Estate Its More Than The List Price
For many, the purchase and sale of real estate is the single most important financial transaction that will ever be undertaken. Too many times, the primary focus of the real estate transaction is the property’s sales price and market value. Unfortunately, buyers, sellers, investors, and many real estate agents simply don’t consider or understand the other critical analyses that should be an integral part of the decision-making process. These financial considerations include a formal affordability analysis, mortgage rate research, property tax assessments and trend analysis, and the income tax implications of the transaction. With so much of your hard-earned financial resources at stake, doesn’t it make sense to have highly-qualified financial professionals assist with the process?
