Our Real Estate Buyer’s Packet Can Help You 

If you are a first time home buyer, you probably have such questions as; Where should I buy? How much home can I afford? How do I handle financing? Do I need an attorney? Who do I go to for help? Our guide can help you get started with your home buying journey. 

Buying a home isn’t like baking a cake. Each situation is unique so the recipe changes even though basic ingredients remain the same. Although no “cookbook” can replace the personal guidance of an experienced, professional, our buyer's information packet can give you many of the answers and insights you’ll need to wisely approach one of life’s most important decisions. 

The Home Buyer’s packet provides important, beneficial information for the home buying process. Our kit includes: 

1. 'Home Buying 101' - this informative booklet takes you through all of the necessary steps from finding your home to getting to the settlement table. It illustrates all of the necessary steps for the home buyer, mortgage company, settlement coordinator, our team and title insurance company. 

2. 'Homebuyer's Guide to the Agreement of Sale' - this booklet takes you through the key document in any real estate transaction, the Standard Agreement of Sale. The booklet provides thorough explanation of the document along with illustrative examples. 

3. The Marita Donohue Team Homefinding Guide - this allows you as a new buyer to better understand the process and introduces you to our buyer specialists who will walk you through your journey to owning your first home. It also provides you with plenty of useful internet links to help you with your move. 


Our Buyer Specialists, Chris Mikus, Theresa Hagman and Jeanne Padula are eager to help you find your first home. Feel free to contact them with any questions you may have. They would love to help you start your new, exciting journey!

Real Estate Tips
Tax Considerations >Tax Breaks

      Most homeowners are keenly aware of the interest tax deduction on their home loan, but there are many other tax breaks which are often overlooked at income tax time. Pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest in the year of sale are deductible. You will find these amounts listed on your closing settlement statement. If you paid off your mortgage and had to pay a pre-payment penalty, it qualifies as tax deductible interest. If you paid an "acquisition mortgage loan fee" on a home loan, this fee can be deducted as itemized interest. Home improvement loan fees are also deductible. Any remaining loan fees from re-financed or paid-off mortgages are fully deductible at the time of the mortgage payoff.
      Certain items don't qualify as deductions, but can be added to the cost basis of your home, such as transfer taxes, recording and title fees, and special local property tax assessments for new sidewalks, streets, or sewers.
      Don't be intimidated by the tax code! A little research or consultation with an expert can help you maximize your real estate tax advantages.
