Robert Hoffman Google Review ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 Working with Jonathan was great from day 1… He always answered my questions quickly, he was attentive throughout the entire process, and assisted with our listing whenever we needed anything handled. This was the perfect option for us and we have nothing but great things to say about Jonathan and our experience selling our home as a whole. Do not waste your money somewhere else and do not let some other realtor pretend they have some crazy network to sell your house overnight. We were able to sell for asking price in a slow market with rising interest rates with 2 weekends of open houses – list your home with Jonathan and CA flat fee, save your money, and trust the process. 7 Days Ago Ebook Access Google Review Ebook Access ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 Jonathan was great ! He represented me as the seller and provided top notch, full service representation at an unbelievable flat rate ! It was my first time selling and the process was seamless. Will be recommending him to friends and family. 10.04.2018 Dan Demcak Google Review Dan Demcak ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 Jonathan did an amazing job for us. My Mom chose him to sell her home, and to be honest, I had misgivings over CA Flat Fee, as I had always dealt with “full service” (full price?) realtors before. But I was very wrong. I worked with Jonathan and my Mom to figure out how best to prepare her home of 32 years for a good sale so she could move into a retirement home. Jonathan kept me appraised throughout the sale, and I assisted my Mom to get her home ready. I was very pleased when I finally met him, and he gave great and clear directions on what would help best for a good sale. He worked hard for the sale, holding several open houses, several home visits to review the preparation progress, gently directing my Mom, and negotiating very well with potential buyers. In the end, the home sold for a lot more than I had hoped, thanks to his negotiations, and he worked through tricky requirements and situations to make it all successful. Many thanks to Jonathan! I would highly recommend him and use him myself, and my Mom even saved money! Jonathan was definitely a full-service realtor. It was definitely a win-win. 5 Month Ago Stu R Google Review Stu R ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 Jonathan was easy to work with. He always picked up our calls and explained things we didn’t understand. I’d recommend him to my best friends. All this and a huge discount to boot!! 6 Month Ago Stu R Google Review Stu R ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 I recently worked with Jonathan as my real estate agent for both selling my home and buying a new one, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jonathan was always looking out for my best interests and was persistent when it came to negotiations, which really helped us get the best possible outcome. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and his expertise and knowledge of the market made the process so much smoother. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a reliable, dedicated, and knowledgeable real estate agent. Thanks again Jonathan for all your hard work! 6 Month Ago Kevin Ruble Google Review Kevin Ruble ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 5.0 If you’re looking for an awesome realtor to work with while saving THOUSANDS of dollars then Jonathan and his team are it. We wanted to move quickly on selling our home and they made it happen! They are disrupting the industry with their model and we are so happy to be part of it.

Richard Harless Jul 26, 2021 More and more people put up properties for sale these days, and they are required to pay a commission. As with any average person, you want to minimize costs when selling property so that you make as much capital gains as possible while minimizing the total tax burden. So, is there a way to get the real estate commission back? Are real estate commissions deductible from capital gains? Are Real Estate Commissions Deductible from Capital Gains? No, real estate commissions are not deductible from capital gains like closing costs or escrow fees. Rather, you can subtract the commissions from the selling price of your property. Once you’ve done this, the tax on your capital gains is, in turn, affected; allowing you to avoid losing money on the commission you have paid. The IRS regards commissions as an added cost to the total sale or purchase of your property. But they cannot be directly deducted from capital gains like home mortgage interest. Instead, you could deduct the commission from the total selling price of your property. So, if your house sells for $400,000 and the commission is fixed at 5%, the net amount of $380,000 is what the IRS views as your selling price. Therefore, this amount is the basis on which they would determine how much you would be taxed. An Alternative To Real Estate Commissions While most realtors deal based on percentages , an alternative type of commission is a fixed fee. This allows you to keep most of your gains when selling your property, so you’re happy. CA Flat Fee lists your home for a flat fee of $5,000 instead of charging the regular three to five percent most traditional realtors charge. For instance, if your property sells for $400,000 you would only be paying the $5,000 flat fee as opposed to the $12,000 that a realtor charging 3% would bill. Additionally, with California Flat Fee, you receive more services than a typical flat fee company who typically only provides a Multiple Listing Service. This includes showings coordination, professional photography, and marketing, as well as negotiation and closing management. Sales Expenses that You Can Deduct from Capital Gains Certain costs are incurred while selling a house, and thankfully, some of them are deductible from capital gains. Appraisal fees Advertising Attorney fees Escrow fees Closing fees Mortgage satisfaction fees Document preparation fees Notary fees Settlement fees Costs associated with removing title clouds Title search fees Recording fees (if any is paid) City, county, or state-charged transfer or stamp taxes Deduction of these costs in addition to using the flat fee model guarantees that you’re left with significant capital gains afterward without the stress of handling every aspect of the transaction yourself. Recovering Expenses Incurred on Home Improvement from Capital Gains While minor expenses incurred to increase the physical outlook of your house cannot be deducted, it turns out that expenses on major improvements or renovations can be. However, they would have to absolutely qualify as major renovations. If you made any significant physical additions or overhauls, even years before putting your property up for sale, you can include the costs on a tax basis. This would in turn reduce the portion of your capital gains that would be taxable after the sale. To clearly define this, the home improvements made must have been done to increase the material value of your home (not necessarily the physical overview as in minor renovations), increase property life expectancy, or additional sections included for various uses. Here are some of these deductible home improvements that qualify for deductions: Installation of pipes, new insulation, or ducts Landscaping activity, such as a new lawn Replacing old fences, as well as building new porches, decks, or patios Upgrading or replacing heating and air conditioning system Adding a new garage, bedroom, or bathroom Replacing an old roof, doors, or windows New floors or walls Adding new In-built appliances Installing new walkways or driveways Replacing the wall-to-wall carpeting The Capital Gains Rule or Exclusion The rule guiding capital gains isn’t exactly a rule, rather, it qualifies as an exclusion, but it still increases your gain. At this point, you should recall that your capital gain is what would be left over after covering expenses, as well as paying off any existing mortgage debt. And taxation of your capital gains falls under income taxes. So, here comes the silver lining: you’re allowed to exclude as high as $500,000 of capital gains that you made from the sale if you’re married, and $250,000 if you’re single. The only requirement is that the house must have been your primary residence for at least two out of the past 5 years. Note that using the flat fee model doesn’t imply that the real estate commissions be directly deducted from capital gains. You would also have to follow the same ‘subtraction from the sale price’ process mentioned above. A Detailed Scenario Remember that capital gains aren’t calculated based on the original purchase price of your home, rather, the cost basis of your home is considered. So, say you bought your home for $400,000 and $100,000 went into improvements, you now end up with $500,000 as your cost basis. If this house is sold by a married couple, who have lived in it for a minimum of two years, for $1,000,000, they would be required to pay nothing in the way of capital gain taxes. A higher cost basis implies that your tax bill would be lower when you sell. Therefore, all you would be required to do is pay the real estate commission, which would be less than usual, using the flat fee model. You would have to present evidence that you’ve lived in the house for that time, and make sure you keep all receipts detailing home improvement costs safe. How Much Is Capital Gains Tax On Real Estate In California? C apital gains tax includes federal and California state taxes : Federal Capital Gains Tax Rates (2024) 0% : Income up to $44,625 (single) / $89,250 (married filing jointly). 15% : Income between $44,626 – $492,300 (single) / $89,251 – $553,850 (married). 20% : Income above $492,300 (single) / $553,850 (married). California State Capital Gains Tax California does not have a separate capital gains tax rate. Instead, capital gains are taxed as regular income based on state income tax brackets (1% – 13.3%). High earners in California may pay up to 37.1% combined federal + state capital gains tax. Additional Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) An extra 3.8% tax applies to high-income earners with investment income over $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (married). How Do I Minimize Capital Gains Tax On Real Estate In California? To minimize or avoid capital gains tax on real estate in California, consider the following strategies: Primary Residence Exclusion – If you have lived in your home for at least 2 of the last 5 years before selling, you may qualify for the Section 121 Exclusion , which allows you to exclude: Up to $250,000 of capital gains for single filers . Up to $500,000 for married couples filing jointly . 1031 Exchange (Like-Kind Exchange) – You can defer paying capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds into a similar (like-kind) property under IRS Section 1031 . Hold the Property for More Than a Year – If you hold the property for over a year before selling, you pay the lower long-term capital gains tax rate rather than short-term rates. Offset Gains with Losses (Tax-Loss Harvesting) – You can use capital losses from other investments to offset gains from real estate sales.

Richard Harless Dec 13, 2024 Title insurance protects buyers from financial loss from property title defects. The buyers often face issues regarding lien, ownership, and debts.

It also varies with type of property and property price. In the USA, the average cost of title insurance ranges from $500 to $3500. And the average cost of title insurance falls between $1000 to $2500 in California. This cost is a one-time fee which is paid as a closing cost . That brings us to the most important question, who pays the title insurance cost?

You can talk with the real estate agents to make the best deal. Try to read reviews from online. You can also take referrals from your close ones. But you should not compromise with the quality of service to save money. Look for a Bundled Discount You can buy it from the same company. It means buying lender’s and owner’s title insurance from one company.  The insurance companies give discounts on bundle policies. Look for Reissue Rate Ask for a reissue rate of the insurance. The previous owner may insure the property within a few years. The new title insurer can extend that policy. For that they pay a reduced price.  Why Title Insurance is Important? It is not legally required to buy title insurance. But title insurance solves disputes regarding the property right. Purchasing a real estate property is a big investment for the buyers. Hassles concerning the ownership after making the deal can cost a fortune. This insurance policy gives protection against claims that can jeopardize ownership. Owner’s title insurance helps cover costs by defending the ownership rights. The title insurance policy protects the financial interests of lenders.

The title company checks the past history then issues the insurance.  To Summarize  Title insurance protects from someone else claiming the property right.

Richard Harless Oct 7, 2021 The process of getting a mortgage approved can be a long, stressful one. There are lots of requirements involved in the course of the application, so getting through to closing is a big deal. However, there are scenarios where the loan application was denied at closing . As an applicant who has gone through all the necessary processes, including closing, you may want to find out: can your loan be denied after closing? Can your Loan Be Denied After Closing? No, your loan cannot be denied after closing. You have signed all the papers necessary and have reached an agreement. Your lender is bound by law to stick to your contract. After closing, your lender cannot go back on the arrangement they have made with you. Your loan can be denied anytime from the point of application to the point of closing. However; at closing’ and ‘after closing’ differ in that at closing, the final documents are yet to be signed. Therefore, cancellation is still possible if the lender finds that you no longer meet some requirements for the loan. That being said, after closing your lender cannot go back on the agreement anymore. Is There a Difference Between “At Closing” and “After Closing?” Yes, there is. ‘At closing’ or ‘clear to close’ refers to the point where the lender takes a final look at your application. It usually happens about a month or two after your application. If there are discrepancies such as job change or lower credit card score from accumulating debt, your loan can be denied. ‘After closing’ is the point where the lender has done the final checks of your application, the papers have been signed, and there’s no reneging on the deal at this point. This is the point where your loan can not be denied anymore. What Could Cause Your Loan To Be Denied? Mortgages are large loans; this explains why lenders have a long list of requirements for applicants to fill. If you do not meet all the requirements, your application can be denied. Here are several reasons a mortgage application might fall through: Low Credit Score: The minimum credit score needed to secure a mortgage is dependent on the lender you choose and the type of mortgage you’re looking for. A USDA loan requires a minimum credit score of 640, while a conventional mortgage or VA loan uses 620 as the benchmark. You can get an FHA loan with a credit score as low as 500, but you will have to make a bigger down payment as against if you had a higher credit score. No Credit History: If you don’t use credit cards or have never taken out a loan, you may have what’s called a “thin” credit file. This means you have a very minimal credit history — or none at all. Without a credit history, lenders will not be able to approve you for a mortgage unless they are willing to find other ways you can prove financial responsibility. High Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio: Your ability to repay loans will be assessed. Lenders will review the percentage of your monthly income that goes to monthly debts. It may be more difficult to secure a loan if your housing payment is 28% or more of your gross monthly income (31% or more if you’re applying for an FHA loan). Little Down Payment: By dropping a little down payment, the lenders will read that as you being more unlikely to repay the mortgage. The bigger the down payment you can make; the better chance you have of being approved for a mortgage. Incomplete Application Information: You may be surprised but even with good credit and a solid income, your mortgage application may be denied if the necessary information is omitted. It is very important to check through your application thoroughly to ensure they are in order before submitting them. Recent Job Changes: Whatever you do, ensure your job or finances reflect stability. This is one of the attributes that mortgage lenders are on the lookout for; recent job changes may indicate instability in employment. Having the same job for at least two years may help your chances of approval. Requirements for Pre-approval for a Loan Pre-approval for a mortgage requires the following five things: Proof of Income: You will need to present income/wage statements from the past two years, recent pay stubs that show income as well as year-to-date income. If you have some extra income such as alimony or certain bonuses, you would have to tender proof alongside the two most recent years’ tax returns. Proof of Assets: Bank and investment account statements are necessary to certify that you are financially capable of handling a down payment and covering closing costs as well, while still having cash reserves. The down payment, expressed as a percentage of the selling price, varies by loan type. Good Credit: The benchmark that most lenders set to approve a conventional loan is a FICO score of 620 or higher, and some even use the same score for a Federal Housing Administration loan . Prospective homebuyers with credit scores of 760 or higher typically get the lowest interest rates. Guidelines put in place by the FHA detail that approved borrowers with a score of 580 or higher can make as low as 3.5% down payment. Lenders with a lower credit score usually have to make a more significant down payment. Employment Verification: You have to prove that you have a stable job. In addition to checking pay stubs, a lender will likely place a call to your employer to verify employment and salary. A lender may want to contact the previous employer if you recently changed jobs. If you are self-employed, additional documentation about your business and finances may be requested to show that you have a strong financial standing. Generally, self-employed borrowers need to produce at least the two most recent years’ tax returns with all appropriate schedules. Other Documentation: The lender will need to copy your driver’s license, your Social Security number, and signature, allowing the lender to pull a credit report. Be prepared at the pre-approval session and later to provide (as quickly as possible) any additional paperwork requested by the lender. The more cooperative you are, the smoother the mortgage process. Once you’ve got your loan pre-approved, the next step is to contact a professional flat fee realtor like CA Flat Fee . This is to ensure a hitch-free home purchase process. What to Do If Your Mortgage Application Is Rejected If your mortgage application is denied, you’ll receive a declination letter (also called an adverse action letter) from the lender. By law, you are entitled to a copy of your free credit report if your application is denied. The declination letter should provide instructions for getting a copy of your credit report from the credit reporting agency that was used in making the decision. Lenders are required to tell you why your application was denied. If the declination letter doesn’t specify a reason, contact the lender to ask. Usually, loans are declined because of bad credit, a significant debt-to-income ratio, or even insufficient income. Your credit report could help you identify what the issues were in your case. [lyte id=’nkia30I2i0Q’ /] Conclusion There are a lot of requirements involved in the loan application process to secure a home sale. If these requirements are not fully met, your loan application can be declined by the lender. However, once your loan application is approved and closed, your lender is bound to release the funds stated in your agreement. Similarly, after this strenuous process, you absolutely want to get the best home that your loan can get for you, and CA Flat Fee is your best bet.

If I am selling my home, do I have to pay a Buyers Agent? Buyer broker compensation is not predetermined and is negotiated as part of the buyer’s offer. In many cases, buyers have agreements with their agent and may request compensation within their offer. Sellers evaluate each offer based on overall net proceeds and terms. We encourage sellers to consider all offers carefully and negotiate the strongest overall outcome. How can you afford to charge such a low fee? Truth be told, we have been providing the same deep discount to our investor friends and to our family for a long time. We are very experienced and efficient at what we do, and we do not need to make a $20,000 or $30,000 or $50,000 profit on each listing. Those are crazy numbers for a job that is mostly done from a comfortable chair in an air conditioned office – not nearly as time consuming as representing a buyer. Plus, we built a custom web portal that makes our job selling a home even more efficient. Our hope was that by providing exceptional service for a low flat fee, we would earn your referrals to friends and family and that we could also represent you when you decide to buy a home. So, we decided it was time for everyone to get the friends and family discount! I am not ready to talk to someone yet. What are my best next steps? We have multiple guides available to download that give you great information, but the best next step is honestly to have a conversation with us.
