I Have Nineteen Years Of Experience Selling Homes Around The Lake! This area is beautiful, and the lake is very large. It’s important to have someone help you who really knows the lake and its values. There is a tremendous price range in homes around the lake. Even within certain neighborhoods or developments the values can be quite varied. Whether you are buying or selling, my knowledge about this is invaluable.
I know the market. With the lake being so spread out and having so much shoreline, you can spend tremendous time “just driving around”. People don’t want to waste a lot of time trying to find things they don’t want. I know what’s out there. I have the tools and the expertise to help make the most of the time you have to find just what you’re looking for.
I have an extensive client base. Over the years I’ve helped numerous families find their home at Smith Mountain Lake - whether it be a condo for a second home, a weekend getaway, a permanent home, a retirement home, or a lot to build on or hold onto for investment. I’ve listed/sold over $100 million.
At least 70% of my sales come from referrals. I have prospects that range in prices for different properties. Over the years I’ve accumulated a tremendous database of prospects that have been generated from specific ‘target marketing’. These people aren’t just interested in vacations homes etc. - they’re interested in property at Smith Mountain Lake. I’ll use the latest technology to make sure they know your property is available.

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions
Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.
The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.
Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.
