Why Not List With An Agent Who Works With Buyers and Sellers?
All agents are not the same! The agent who assisted you in finding a home to purchase may not be the best one to help you sell your home. Think of it like a doctor, most people would not feel comfortable with their dermatologist performing cardiac surgery although both are M.D.s. By comparison, a Listing Specialist has experience and expertise in selling homes. We can help you sell your home for the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time, with the least possible hassles- all your favorite words in one sentence! Why settle for an agent who only works to sell your home when they are not working with buyers?
That's not to say the buyers for your home won't be taken care of. Team Sandy Blanton is just that- a team! We have buyer specialists and listing specialists working together to handle every step of the home buying and selling process. If a buyer for your home calls while Sandy or Brandon are out listing another home, you don't have to worry whether or not your home will be taken care of. We have several buyer specialists available to show your property. When you hire Team Sandy Blanton, you will experience the full benefits of a team of buyer specialists, listing specialists, marketing directors, office administration, and listing coordinators- all for the same price as a single agent!

Tax Considerations >Tax Reform
Owning a home still offers significant tax benefits. If you are renting, it may be a good time to sit down with a professional real estate agent to see how much you can save each year by owning your own home.
You save in two ways when you purchase a home. Even though most interest deductions have been phased out, home mortgage interest and state and local property taxes can be deducted. The interest on a home equity loan may also be deductible.
Your real estate agent can show you how these savings will apply in your situation. You may be pleasantly surprised when you compare the tax savings you will receive as a result of owning your home, and you will build up equity as your home appreciates in value! Also, first-time buyers will see expanded rules for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and 401(k) plans, allowing penalty-free withdrawals to purchase a home in the Taxpayer Relief Act passed in August, 1997. Consult your tax advisor for your particular circumstance.
