Last Chance for 2017 Tax Moves

Many people would be surprised to hear how often we end up putting together transactions that save taxes for buyers and sellers in the last month of the year.  We have written contracts on Christmas Eve (once on the roof of a car), that holiday weekend, and even the week between Christmas and New Year's, with a closing that took place that same week!  Although everyone has the best of intentions not to procrastinate, things happen that are beyond one's control.  Often, it's a transaction that doesn't go through at the last minute, leaving a seller or buyer with no choice but to find another buyer or seller with no time to spare.

We certainly can't promise that every interested party will be able to complete a sale by the end of this month.  However, if you can pay cash, or take money back as a seller, and you are motivated, with a good support team to push through to a year-end closing, you just might make it happen.  Often such situations become infused with urgency at every turn, and can even overtake ones that started sooner.

So, if you have dreams of completing a transaction by December 31st, we're here to help!
