 The quality of their children?s school is a concern of every parent. When people move to a new area, one of their main concerns is that their child gets a good education in a safe environment. Like others across the country, Puget Sound school districts are preparing students for life in the coming century in the face of rapid technological and social change. To their credit, the vast majority of Seattle-area public school districts boast test scores above national standards and many districts?and teachers within those districts?have earned merit awards for their hard work and dedication to educational excellence. Everyone offers free school reports. Me too! Plus I offer more. As a top Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue Realtor, I can tell you things about the schools that no report generated by a computer will ever know. Remember, I consult with people moving to the Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue, Washington area on a daily basis. It's my job to know, and my job to tell you. Call me for a first-hand experience of the local schools. Or fill out this form to send me a message right now. It's free and without obligation. I'll get back to you immediately with a phone call, a free report, or a brochure from a local school...

Closing or Settlement >Net Sheet for Sellers
When you consider what price you should accept when selling your home, there are two important factors that will influence your decision. The first factor is the basic sales price. The second, and more important, is the amount you will actually receive from the proceeds at the closing.
Your real estate agent will prepare a seller's "net sheet" showing what your expenses will be. This will aid you in determining who pays what and when. It can help you to focus on the details of the sale.
A seller's expenses will include brokerage fees, real estate settlement fees, title insurance fees and special assessments. In some cases the buyer may ask you to pay some of the loan fees. Local real estate taxes will be pro-rated for you and the buyer, and you may be asked to place funds in escrow for payment of your final water bill. Subtract your mortgage balance any home improvement loans and other liens against the property that will be paid at the closing to come up with your final figures.
Your real estate agent can go over all of these factors with you when you list your home for sale and again as offers come in.
