Brigitte has earned her great reputation....
Brigitte Jewell, Associate Broker was such a wonderful realtor to work with. She sold our home for over asking price and helped us sort through offers to pick the one that was best for our family. Brigitte is very professional and courteous. She was always on time, very organized and knowledgeable, respectful towards our home and very kind to our small children and family. She has earned her great reputation by working hard and handeling each task with such enthusiasm. We would most definately recommend her and use her services again if the opportunity arised. Thank you Brigitte!

Financing Your Home >Who Pays the Points When home buyers shop for financing, they must consider two important factors--the interest rate and the points. Each point is equal to one percent of the mortgage amount. If you are selling a home, the buyers may ask you to share the points with them.
The buyer usually pays the points. But if the offer is attractive and will give you the amount you want, paying one or more points might be a good idea. When a contract is presented, your real estate agent will go over the price and terms to help you calculate the net price you will receive. If the offer isn't strong enough or has risky contingencies, you might make a counter offer to increase your profit on the sale by eliminating the points from your selling costs or by increasing the price to help you absorb additional costs you will pay.
In some cases, buyers with limited cash may need some assistance from the sellers to make the transaction work. Your real estate agent will help you look at the total picture and the buyer's overall qualifications, so that you can make a decision based on the bottom line.
