Tax Deductions When You Work From Home - 02/13/12 01:18 PM
Working from home can offer many advantages including tax deductions. Just take care what you try to write off for your home office on your return.
Passing the IRS litmus test
To meet IRS guidelines, your home office must be your principal place of business, or the place you see clients in the normal course of business. Parts of your home you use to store products or equipment for your business also count. That doesn't mean that all your work has to be done from home. If you're an outside salesperson, you probably spend most of your work time elsewhere. But if … (4 comments)

Winter Isn't Over Yet - Get Educated on Preventing Ice Dams - 02/09/12 12:01 PM
Here we are in February and ice hasn't yet been a problem, but can you remember last year??  I had a ton of listings dealing with issues with ice dams.  We're not in the clear with our winter weather in Massachusetts so we should still be taking precautions.  Here’s how to protect your home from damage.
Potential damage
Over the five-year period leading up to 2007, water damage and freezing accounted for the second largest share of homeowner insurance claims, according to Claire Wilkinson of the Insurance Information Institute. The average homeowner claim for such damages was $5,531.Ice dams are responsible for … (2 comments)

7 Home Improvement Projects for $1,000 (or Less) - 02/05/12 12:27 PM
Americans still think buying a home is one of the best decisions they’ve ever made. Here are some ways to increase your home’s value and comfort for less than $1,000.
 We knew reports of the death of American home ownership were greatly exaggerated (nod to Mark Twain), and now we’ve got the numbers to prove it.
A just-released survey by the Meredith Corp., which publishes Better Homes and Gardens magazine, says the vast majority of people polled believe owning a home is a smart financial move and a source of pride.Here are some results of the 2,500 people surveyed online:

2011 Energy Tax Credits: What You Need to Know to Collect - 02/03/12 01:09 PM
Taxes are the talk of the season & energy saving tax credits have been the talk of the year! They're not as much as they used to be, but there are still energy tax credits to be had for upgrades made in 2011.
 
Other limits on IRS energy tax credits besides $500 max
Credit only extends to 10% of the cost (not the 30% of yesteryear), so you have to spend $5,000 to get $500. $500 is a lifetime limit. If you pocketed $500 or more in 2009 and 2010 combined, you’re not entitled to any more money for energy-efficient … (4 comments)

Best Practices With Referral Partners - A Tale of When It Goes Bad... - 02/01/12 08:57 AM
Best Practices With Referral Partners - A Tale of When It Goes Bad... A year ago I took a pair of referral listings from a local attorney in the area.  Both were short sales and both took a lot of hard work and time to only have one get approved to go on to a sale.  I offered a percentage of my commission to this attorney for the referral and she agreed.  No referral form was ever sent over or signed prior to listing the properties and until this day.  I forgot all about the fact that she was looking for … (11 comments)
