Understanding Real Estate

By Roger Frost


Amortization Schedule - A clause in your mortgage which allows the lender to demand payment of the outstanding loan balance for various reasons. The most common reasons for accelerating a loan are if the borrower defaults on the loan or transfers title to another individual without informing the lender.

Appraised Value - To determine the value of property, the Property Appraiser will consider such factors as what other properties are selling for (recent sales), what would be the cost to replace the property today, how much it takes to operate the property and to keep it in repair, what rental income the property may earn, and many other applicable factors that affect its value.

Fixed-Rate Mortgage - A "fixed-rate mortgage" is the most ordinary and uncomplicated mortgage available to homeowners today. As the name suggests, the interest rate on a fixed mortgage does not change during the entire duration of the loan, which is typically 30 to 35 years.

Interest Cost - In addition to the two standard means of setting the cost of a mortgage loan (fixed at a set interest rate for the term, or variable relative to market interest rates), there are variations in how that cost is paid, and how the loan itself is repaid. Repayment depends on locality, tax laws and prevailing culture. There are also various mortgage repayment structures to suit different types of borrower.

Broker - A real estate broker, real estate agent or realtor is a party who acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of real estate/real property and attempts to find sellers who wish to sell and buyers who wish to buy. In the United States, the relationship was originally established by reference to the English common law of agency, with the broker having a fiduciary relationship with his clients.

Listing - Exclusive right to sell, in this type of agreement, the broker is given the exclusive right to market the property and represents the seller exclusively. This is referred to as seller agency. However, the brokerage also offers to co-operate with other brokers and agrees to allow them to show the property to prospective buyers and offers a share of the total real estate commission.
