anthony giglio: Overpriced-Overlooked!
- 07/26/11 07:12 AM
There are many factors why a buyer may want to purchase your home but the most critical is price. Pricing a home to sell in Massachusetts is a source of much debate. The trap that many sellers in Massachusetts fall into is listing their home for greater than market value. The thinking is that buyers will always offer less than asking price, therefore, if they overprice their home they will get what the "really want." This philosophy is deceptive and actually works against the seller in the sale of their home. The reason why is that when a home is overpriced at the start, it misses what can be the (2 comments)
anthony giglio: The Highest Priced Offer Isn't Always the Best Offer
- 06/20/11 05:56 AM
The highest priced offer isn't always the best offer. "My offer was the highest price offer, Why didn't it get accepted!?"

anthony giglio: The benefit of the Mortgage Interest Deduction
- 03/09/11 04:43 AM
One of the greatest benefits of owning a home is the Mortgage Interest Deduction! Sure, building equity is important to those looking to buy a home in Massachusetts, however, don't overlook the extra benefit of the Mortgage Interest Deduction! The Mortgage Interest Deduction is taken on your federal tax return and reduces your taxable income by the amount of interest you paid on your mortgage. It usually allows people the ability to itemize instead of taking the standard deduction which can mean a higher deduction amount and lower taxes! Use this handy Mortgage Interest Deduction Calculator to get an idea of how much mortgage interest you can (0 comments)
