July 4th Fireworks and Events

Buying a home or selling the place you have is more than just a major lifestyle change; for many people it’s the largest financial transaction they will ever undertake.

This month I have sent some valuable tips that provide sellers with strategies they need to get their home sold quickly and for the best possible price. On page two, buyers will learn how to master the current market and acquire the home of their dreams. Know someone else who would find this information helpful? Share it with family and friends!

If you’re thinking about buying or selling soon, or know someone who is, it’s important to lean into the knowledge of a local agent who can guide you through the process, and you know that I am always here to help.

Please call for an estimate of your home’s current value or to discuss your situation, goals and options.

Replacing drafty windows and exterior doors with energy-efficient new technologies often pays off immediately in the form of lower energy bills. It can also provide a dramatic lift to your home’s curb appeal and market value. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value Report, these projects delivered some of the highest returns of all moderately-priced home improvements.

The PDF below discusses a number of reasons to change out older windows and doors. It also includes tips for picking the perfect windows to suit your home, climate and pocketbook. I hope you find this information useful. Please call if you have additional questions or would like to discuss this topic further—I’m always happy to help!

6 great reasons to replace older doors and windows

Dig out your files, envelopes or shoeboxes full of records and receipts—it’s time to get your tax information organized. Preparing your returns can be a daunting task, but it’s one that should never be taken lightly.

 This month I have sent helpful information about the range of tax deductions and credits available to taxpayers for 2010, many of which are specific to homeowners.

Taking full advantage of the breaks you deserve may reduce your tax burden or get you a bigger refund from the IRS. Keep in mind that the sooner you file, the sooner the government can return your money. I’d be happy to recommend a knowledgeable professional if you could use some help. 

Sincerely,

Kim Billings
