            Investment Potential
          The largest investment for most people is their home. In the long run, investments in homes far outpace inflation. Homeowners build equity and, in most states, can borrow against it.
          
              
              
            
            1Tax Benifits
          A homeowner can exclude up to $500,000 of capital gain if married and filing jointly, or up to $250,000 if single or filing separately. The home must have been the taxpayer’s principal residence for two of the past five years.
          
    Beginning May 7, 1997, there is no requirement to purchase another home more expensive than the one sold. Homeowners are free to buy up or down with no tax consequence, assuming their gain is less than the allowable amount.
          Property taxes (up to $10,000 annually in addition to State and Local taxes) and qualified home acquisition indebtedness (up to $750,000 for homes acquired on or after 1/1/18)

            Tax Deductibility of Mortgage Interests and Tax Deductibility of Property Taxes
          Qualified mortgage investment on the first mortgage and home equity loans are deductible as well as Property Taxes on a first or second home are deductible on Schedule A as a personal deduction (up to $10,000 annually in addition to State and Local taxes) and qualified home acquisition indebtedness (up to $750,000 for homes acquired on or after 1/1/18)
          Appreciation Potential Capital Gains Exclusion
          Real estate is considered a good long-term investment because it usually continues to appreciate. The effects of leverage can multiply this increase when borrowed funds are used to purchase the home.
          A homeowner can exclude up to $500,000 of capital gain if married and filing jointly, or up to $250,000 if single or filing separately for homes that have been the taxpayer’s principal residence for two of the past five years.
          Capital Gain Treatment Principal Accumulation You Can Enjoy It!!!
          Congress allows preferential tax treatment on gains from capital assets held for more than one year. This would be important for a homeowner who has gains in excess of the allowable exclusion.
          Mortgages are designed to pay the interest for the time that the money has been used, as well as to retire the principal debt over a period of time. This means that part of the payment each month is for the principal accumulation.
          Pride of ownership is a valid reason for wanting to own a home. You can decorate it to your own taste and enjoy all the benefits while making a great investment.

            Our Professional Relationship
          My commitment to you
          I am a full time professional Realtor®. I am educated in the legal aspects of real estate practice and licensed by the Sate of California to provide real estate services. As a member of both the California and National Associations of Realtors®, I abide by a strict Code of Ethics to provide you with the highest level of service. As an associate with Compass I am part of one of the strongest networks of professional Realtors® in the Bay Area. I earn my living by serving the needs of homebuyers and seller with integrity.
          Benefits of service
          A large part of my work is performed “behind the scenes”; previewing homes, researching comparable sales, gaining market knowledge, evaluating changing legislation, and maintaining my professional credentials. For every hour I spend showing you homes, I will have spent up to ten hours preparing. I am constantly acquiring information that will help to better serve you. One of the first things I do is to merge your profile with the MLS. The benefit to you is that you will be one of the first people to see a new home on the market. Since the best values sell within days, we feel that it is crucial for you to see the homes first.
          
    How I am compensated
          
    I am not paid a traditional salary; I work entirely on commission, which I receive only if I initiate and complete a transaction for you. I am compensated only when all of your needs have been satisfied and you take ownership of your new home. All of the service I provide are uncompensated unless you purchase a home through me. Real estate commissions traditionally are paid at the close of escrow from the Seller’s proceeds.
          Your commitment to me
          I will invest substantial time and effort in locating your home and will represent you with unequaled integrity throughout the purchase of that home. In return, I request your loyalty – a commitment that you will work with me exclusively, in selecting and purchasing your home.
          Putting me to work for you
          If you see any home that interests you, ask me about it. Whether it is advertised by sign, in the newspaper, a “For Sale by Owner,” listed with another Realtor®, or not even on the market – I am the best to represent you in the pursuit of that property.
          04
        If you have any questions about how I work, please ask. Our professional relationship is critical to the successful purchase of your home.
          
              
              
            
            The Sales Process
          Make Offer to Purchase
          Using standard contract form, as your agent I will write the offer detailing all aspects of the transaction including down payment, financing, property inspections, condominium disclosures (if applicable) and all contingencies.
          Negotiate with Seller
          As Your agent, I will advise you on negotiation strategy and personally negotiate on your behalf with the Seller and Seller’s agent.
          Ratify the Transaction
          Both parties agree to price and terms in writing.
          Continue Loan Application
          It is assumed that the Buyer has been pre-qualified for the loan. All remaining paperwork is now due to the lender.
          
    Conduct Inspections
          
    As your agent I will assist you in scheduling inspections, will accompany you during inspections and help you interpret the reports. If necessary, credits from the seller will be negotiated.
          Remove Contingencies
          All contingencies in the contract relating to inspections, condominium documents and financing are removed in writing by the buyer. As your agent I will complete all forms for signature.
          Loan is Funded by Escrow
          Buyer Signs Loan Document and Closing Papers
          Seller Signs Closing Papers
          Escrow Closes
          The deed is recorded and title to the property transfers to Buyer.

        These are the basic parts of the sales process from the time a property is selected to the close of escrow
          
              
              
            
            Property Buying: Step-by-Step
          Step 1
          Select a REALTOR
          I am a full time, professional REALTOR with extensive market knowledge. We will work closely together to find the right home for you.
          Step 2
          Initial Consultation.
          Once we establish your needs, I will provide guidance to financial institutions where you can obtain information in order to get the best financing available. We will meet to discuss your needs and analyze your resources.
          Step 3
          Identify Property to Buy.
          I will show you homes based on the criteria that we establish. The more precise and direct you are with me, the more successful your search will be.
          Step 4
          Determine Seller’s Motivation.
          Once you have found the home that you wish to purchase, I will do all the necessary research to help you structure an effective offer.
          Step 5
          Write Offer to Purchase.
          I will draft the Purchase Agreement for you, advising you on protective contingencies, customary practices, and local regulations. At this time you will need to provide an “earnest money” deposit, usually from 1 to 3% of the purchase price. (This deposit is not cashed until your offer has been accepted by the Seller)
          
    Step 6
          Presentation of Offer.
          I will present your offer to the Seller and the Seller’s agent. The Seller has three options; they can accept your offer, counter your offer, or reject your offer. My personal knowledge of your needs and qualifications will enable me to represent you in the best way possible.
          Step 7
          Seller’s Response.
          I will review the Seller’s response with you. My negotiating skills and knowledge will benefit you in reaching a final agreement.
          Step 8
          Open Escrow.
          When the Purchase Agreement is accepted and signed by all parties, I will open escrow for you. At this time your earnest money will be deposited. The escrow, or Title Company will receive, hold, and disburse all funds associated with your transaction.
          Step 9
          Contingency Period.
          This is the time allowed per your Purchase Agreement to obtain financing, perform inspections, and satisfy any other contingencies to which your purchase is subject.
          Step 10
          Homeowner’s Insurance.
          I will coordinate between your Insurance Agent and the Title Officer to make sure your policy is in effect at close of escrow.
          Step 11
          Down Payment Funds. You will need a Cashier’s Check or money transfer several days prior to the closing date of escrow.
          Step 12
          Close Escrow.
          When all of the conditions of the Purchase Agreement have been met, you will sign your loan documents and closing papers. You will deposit the balance of your down payment and closing costs to escrow and your lender will deposit the balance of the purchase price. The Deed will then be recorded at the County Recorder’s office and you will take ownership of your home.

            Inspection Process
          When you make an offer on a home, your Purchase Contract will likely contain provisions allowing you various inspections of the property. The purpose of these inspections is to educate you as to the physical condition of the property you are purchasing. While these inspections do not provide guarantees of the condition of the property, they do provide valuable information to you as a Buyer. It is important to remember that your Purchase Contract may provide for withdrawal from the contract if these reports are unsatisfactory to you, but inspections should not be considered an open door to renegotiate the purchase price.
          Structural Pest Control Inspection
          Often referred to as a “Termite Report”, the Structural Pest Control Inspection is conducted by a licensed inspector. In addition to actual termite damage, the Pest Report will indicate any type of wood destroying organisms that may be present, including Fungi (sometimes called “dry rot”), which generally results from excessive moisture.
          Section I Conditions
          Most Pest Reports classify conditions as Section 1 or Section 2 items. Section 1 conditions are those, which are “active”, or currently causing damage to the property. Generally, Section 1 items need to be corrected before a lender will make a loan on a home.
          Section II Conditions
          Those which are not currently causing damage, but are likely to, if left unattended. A typical Section 2 item is a plumbing leak where the moisture has not yet caused fungus decay.
          Who Pays?
          Your Purchase Contract will specify who is responsible for the cost of the inspection and making these corrections. This is a negotiable item and should be considered carefully. I will advise you as to what is customary and prudent.
          Physical Inspection
          The Physical Inspection clause in your Purchase Contract, when initialed by both parties, allows you the right to have the property thoroughly inspected. This is usually done through a General Home Inspection. While Home Inspectors are not currently required to have a license, most are, or have been, General Contractors. The inspection and the resulting report provides an overall assessment of the present condition of the property.
          What is Inspected
          The Home Inspection covers items such as exterior siding, paint, flooring, appliances, water heater, furnace, electrical service, plumbing, and other visible features of the property. This is a general inspection and will often call for additional inspections by specific trades, such as roof and furnace inspections.
          Further Inspections
          If conditions warrant, the Home Inspector may recommend a Structural Engineer’s Report. Such a report would identify structural failures and detail recommended corrections.
          Typically, this inspection is paid for by the Buyer.
          Geological Inspections
          Home Warranty
          Home Protection Plans are available for purchase by a Buyer or Seller. Such plans may provide additional protection of certain systems and appliances in your new home. I will provide you with brochures detailing different companies and options.
          You may also elect to have a Geological Inspection to educate yourselves as to the soil conditions at the home you are purchasing. This inspection is performed by a Geotechnical Engineer and involves not only physically inspecting the property, but also researching past geological activity in the area. The primary purpose for a Geological Inspection is to determine the stability of the ground under and around the home.
          Who Pays?
          Typically the Seller pays, but as with other inspections, this is negotiable according to the contract.
          Who Pays for What?
          The seller can generally be expected to pay for:
          • Real estate commission
          • Document reparation fee for deed
          • Documentary transfer tax* (see below)
          • Any City & County transfer tax* (see below)
          • Any loan fees required by buyer’s lender
          • Payoff of all loans in seller’s name (or existing loan balance if being assumed by buyer)
          • Interest accrued to lender being paid off, statement fees, reconveyance fees and any prepayment penalties
          • Termite inspection (according to contract)
          • Termite work (according to contract) home warranty (according to contract), any judgments, tax liens, etc., against the seller
          • Recording charges to clear all documents of record against seller
          
    • Tax pro-ration (for any taxes unpaid at time of transfer of title)
          • Any unpaid homeowner’s dues
          • Any bonds or assessments (according to contract)
          • Any and all delinquent taxes notary fees
          Transfer Taxes
          $100 - $250,000 = $5.00
          The buyer can generally be expected to pay for:
          • Title insurance premiums
          • Escrow fee
          • Document preparation (if applicable)
          • notary fees
          • Recording charges for all documents in buyer’s names
          • Termite inspection (per contract)
          • Tax pro-ration (from acquisition date)
          • Homeowner’s transfer fee
          • All new loan charges (except those required by lender for seller to pay)
          • Interest on new loan from date of funding to 30 days prior to first payment date.
          • Assumption/change of records fees for takeover of existing loan
          • Beneficiary statement fee for assumption of existing loan
          • inspection fees (roofing, property inspection, geological, etc.)
          • City transfer/conveyance tax * (see below)
          • Fire insurance premium for first year
          City & County Transfer Tax per $1000
          $250,000 - $1,000,000 = $6.80
          $1,000,000 - $5,000,000 = $7.50
          $5,000,000 - $10,000,000 = $22.50
          $10,000,000 – 25,000,000 = $27.50
          $25,000,000 or more = $30

          Each co-owner’s interest may be conveyed separately by its owner
          Purchaser becomes a tenant in common with other co-owners
          On co-owner’s death, his interests pass by will to his devisees or heirs. No survivorship right
          Devisees or heir become tenants in common
          Co-owner’s interest may be sold on execution sale to satisfy his creditor. Creditor becomes a tenant in common.
          Favored in doubtful cases except husband and wife (see community property)
          Ownership interests cannot be divided
          Ownership interests are equal
          There is only one title to the whole property
          Title is in the “community” (similar to title being in a partnership)
          Equal right to possession
          Equal right to possession
          Conveyance by one co-owner with the others breaks joint tenancy
          Purchaser becomes a tenant in common with the other co-owners
          On co-owner’s death, his interest ends and cannot be willed. Survivor owns the property by survivorship
          Last survivor owns property in severalty
          Co-owner’s interest may be sold on execution sale to satisfy his creditor. Joint tenancy is broken, creditor becomes a tenant in common.
          Must be expressly stated and properly formed. Not favored
          Both co-owners must join in conveyance of real property. Separate interests cannot be conveyed
          Purchaser can only acquire whole title of community; cannot acquire a part of it.
          On co-owner’s death 1/2½ goes to survivor in severalty. Up to 1/2 goes by will or succession to others (consult attorney with specific questions)
          If passing by will, tenancy in common between devisee and survivor results
          Co-owner’s interests cannot be seized and sold separately. The whole property may be sold to satisfy debts of either husband or wife, depending on debt (consult attorney with specific questions)
          Strong presumption that property acquired by husband and wife is community
