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.

I have lived in Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio all my life. I have been a licensed REALTOR since 1978 and have worked in the industry full time since 1995. The areas surrounding the Irish Hills are among the most beautiful anywhere, and my love for the lakes and farms is best illustrated through my business. I have been the number one agent in my company since 1996, and am the top agent in lakefront sales in both Jackson and Lenawee Counties.* I am involved with my clients personally and am always thrilled to be part of the realization of their dreams. My dream is to help people and I believe that dreams are chain reactions, so I put my success to work in my community. With every one of my transactions, I support Children's Miracle Network in Southern Michigan. This year I also worked to raise money for the Komen Race for the Cure to help fund breast cancer research. Additionally, I work with my church to raise money for our sister church in Uganda, Africa. I look forward to doing business with you - and for you.
