F.I.R.P.T.A. is an acronym for Foreign Invest-ment in Real Property Tax Act. Now what does it mean? If you are buying a property from an owner that is not a US citizen or a US residentAlien then you may be subject to F.I.R.P.T.A. Tax. In Arizona on the Ari-zona Residential Real Estate Contract you will !nd a section in the contract that reads: “Seller agrees to comply with the IRS report-ing requirements. If applicable, seller agrees to complete, sign, and deliver to Escrow Company a certi!cate indicating whether the seller is a foreign person or a nonresident alien pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”). Buyer and seller acknowledge that if the seller is a foreign person, the buyer must withhold tax equal to 10% of the purchase price, unless an exemption applies.”Now that 10% would be due to the IRS with-in 20 days of closing. "e only way around that would be if PRIOR to closing the IRS re-ceives all thedocumentation necessary to re-view for request of a withholding certi!cate. A withholding certi!cate would be issued only if the IRS feels there is no tax liability, example of this would be due to loss at sale. Otherwise if that money is not in the IRS’s hands on that 20th day there will be penal-ties and late fees added to the 10%. "is is really a very costly oversight if it is not dis-closedand handled properly. Another way toavoid this tax withholding would be if one of the Ten Exemptions to withholding apply. Otherwise you must follow the IRS guide-lines in paying this tax. Your best resource should you !nd yourself in a situation where you have to address FIRPTA tax is the IRS web page www.IRS.gov. All the informa-tion and forms are right at your !nger tips and they come with detailed instructions. "e forms on this IRS web page are also

designed to be !llable so you can keep them neat and clean. My last bit of advice is to always con-sult your tax professional when you have to deal with any tax issue.

"e decision to buy or sell a home is one of the most important !nancial decisions most people make, yet many give little thought to !nding the Real Estate Agent best suited to their needs.Agents are o$en chosen solely on the recommendation of a friend or an ad in the newspaper. But choosing the right agent can save you time, money, e%ort and aggravation in !nding the perfect home at a price you can a%ord or by selling your home quickly for top dollar.Real estate has always been a mark of independence and freedom in this country. Owning property is very important, and when you deal with someone who is going to help you buy or sell property, !nd someone that knows what they’re doing. If you use the phone book and choose a Realtor from the yellow pages, you probably couldn’t make a better decision than if you used the telephone book to choose a brain surgeon.When you tell anyone that you want to purchase a house, you will be surprised at the number of real estate people who want to represent you. Agents come out of the thin air. You won’t have to concern yourself too much about !nding an agent, you do need to worry about !nding the RIGHT ONE."e most important thing when either buying or selling a home is to select the right real estate agent, but people usually go about it backwards. "ey should !rst select the real estate agent, one who will understand what they need (buying or selling) and can navigate the system for them.Advertising is designed to make the brokers’ and agents’ phones ring.

Typically, no one buys the house they called for, but from that point on, they’re joined at the hip with a real estate agent. "ey don’t know anything about whether they are good, bad or indi%erent or new to the business..You should make inquiries before you sign with an agent or broker.

Commissions are usually substantial, so some real estate agents will try to sell you anything. "ey’ll tell you every house is the best house they’ve ever seen, every room is the prettiest, your kids are going to love it, and your dog is going to bark nicely. "ey’ll tell you anything, OUCH! (never at M&DP)If you’re selling your property: Your property may be the most valuable thing you own and it is of utmost importance to !nd an agent you can trust!A real estate agent has a high !duciary duty -- a duty of trust, loyalty and con!dence. It is the most important duty of any sales person or broker in real estate.Choose the broker or real estate agency !rst, then ask the agency to recommend a couple of their best agents. "en stick with him/her. If

you see a house for sale and call the agent listed on the sign, that agent’s !rst concern will be representing the seller, not you, the buyer. Sometimes the broker is associated with a franchise. If you select a franchised broker, But beware. You aren’t guaranteed a great agent just because you selected a well-known real estate franchise. You should select a !rm based on that o#ce’s reputation -- not the reputation of the national !rm.Consider choosing an agent who is a Realtor. In addition to being licensed by the state to sell real estate, Realtors belong to the National Association of Realtors and must abide by a strict Code of Ethics. "e National Association of Realtors has a code of ethics that will knock your socks o%, and they are very strict in dealing with people who don’t abide by them.Choose an agent that handles homes in your price range and area.Choose an agent who listens to your needs and takes the time to explain things you might not understand. Choose an agent who works on your time schedule. Choose an agent who can and will provide other services such as referring you to !nancial institutions and building contractors.Now is the time to speak to M&DP Realty. "e Broker and the Realtor’s that will ful!ll your needs, their !duciary duties and leave you with a smile on your face!

How to Select a Real Estate agent"e most important decision is to !nd THE Broker and the Agent before you !nd the house

Perhaps you, like me, thought we’d never again see the kind of madcap competition to buy homes that was common in the housing boom. I’m thinking of lotteries, not to win a home but just a chance to buy one. I’m remembering bidding wars and home shoppers so desperate to buy that they’d camp overnight outside new subdi-visions to be !rst in the door the next day. Never say never.In some parts of the country, this kind of red-hot competition for homes, especially new homes, is back. Boom-era respons-es like camping in line overnight, home-builder lotteries and buying homes sight unseen are making a reappearance. "at’s how intensely demand is rising in some cities.So far, this the new run-up in prices is con!ned to a handful of cities and regions, particularly coastal California markets, Phoenix and Tucson, Las Vegas, Denver, Boston, Seattle, Portland, the Washington, D.C. metro and several Florida markets.Authors of the CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index say prices rose nation-ally 7.3% in 2012 and could jump an addi-tional 3% this year.In Silicon Valley, few jaws drop any-more when a nice-but-nothing-special 986-square foot Palo Alto cottage like list-ed at $1.25 million, inspires 20 o%ers and sells for $1.73 million. Nearby, in the only slightly less-expensive town of Sunnyvale,

50 or so eager, pre-quali!ed home shop-pers began camping out overnight for a chance to buy newly completed units in a 228-unit condo development.To inject more fairness -- and less dis-comfort-- into the buying process, many builders revived the boom era practice of holding lotteries that gave winners the chance to buy. Says CNN: "e participants were already pre-quali!ed for a mortgage and had their down payment in place. Af-ter being assigned a number, they crossed their !ngers and waited for each bingo ball to be plucked from the tumbler. Backupwinners were also drawn, in case the !rst winners backed out. Even with the price hikes, buyers keep returning. If they lost for four straight months, they would get !ve chances the next time.In other Bay Area towns, Livermore and San Ramon, Calif., other builders are also resorting to lotteries to manage competi-tion for their product. Such buyer demand is not con!ned to the Bay Area. Home-buyer lotteries also are cropping up in northern Virginia and in parts of Florida.
