SAN JUAN ISLANDS, INC

I am pleased to announce that Terri Zambrovitz has joined my team. I plan to expand my business in 2020 and with Terri’s experience as a licensed appraiser and REALTOR, she was just what I was looking for. With Terri on board, I will be able to provide excellent service to all my existing clients as well as new clients in 2020.

Last year was my best year since I joined Coldwell Banker in 1995 and I look forward to building on that success and improving my service and sales in 2020. I credit my success to repeat clients, client referrals, the informative Real Estate Articles and Market Updates that I write and even my San Juan Island Lifestyle Videos, as these are the top sources of my new client relationships.

I enjoy writing the articles but I never thought that the research I process to be an agent would also be appreciated by my clients and the community. Many readers enjoy my articles and have thanked me for keeping them apprised of our market trends, changing regulations and overall condition of our industry. They have made a point to say that the information is a valuable community service.

This is my niche! I plan to continue to provide my clients and the community with relevant real estate information, quarterly market reports and fun “Enjoying the San Juan Lifestyle” videos! THANK YOU to my clients and the San Juan Island Community — you are appreciated! If you are planning on selling your property in 2020 please call or email one of us for an opinion of value. We would be happy to provide you professional service in selling your property for the best price. Coldwell Banker San Juan Islands will be printing 15,000 copies our Showcase of our Listed Properties for sale. This publication is available for distribution electronically, at our Friday Harbor office, our Roche Harbor office and on the San Juan Ferries. Our deadline for inclusion in the showcase catalog is March 31, 2020. Our catalog will not be released for distribution until May which allows you the option of listing now but delaying the actual marketing until middle of April. We will also be working the Seattle Boat Show January 24-February 1, 2020. We have properties listed at that time we will be sure to promote at the show.

REDUCED

Do you realize that you may use all or a portion of your retirement funds to invest in real estate? Retirement accounts are basically Trust accounts for your benefit when you retire. In the 1970s, the IRS approved real estate as an investment option you can purchase with your IRA or a 401 (K). You may also obtain a non-recourse real estate loan that is granted to your self-directed IRA which will increase your purchasing power. Typically, the lender will loan up to 50% loan to value on a 3, 5 or 7 year adjustable rate mortgage. Today’s rates are around 4.5%-5.5%. There are several lenders that offer this very unique product. See link below. https://www.pensco.com/individual-investors/the-pens-co-marketplace/non-recourse-lenders/

This is an incredible tool for investors and real estate has historically been a good investment. Most individuals currently hold stocks, bonds or mutual funds in their IRA accounts, which can be sold to purchase a real estate investment. You can defer the tax on the gain from the sale of the stocks as they are not removed from your IRA account. Please be sure to check with your account manager regarding any fee or charges related to the sale of your current IRA investments. As with stocks, you can buy and sell real estate within the IRA account and defer your tax payment on the gain.
