Default Re: How do I handle Real Estate agents refunds?

I have an asset account called Closing Costs. I enter all transactions from
the HUD-1 form into it for that very reason.

I would enter it line-by-line; I'm not sure why besides I'm anal and the
data might come in handy at some point in the future. See the FAQs about
refi and buying a house at http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?cat=23.

Your reply got me to thinking. Did you enter a line by line transaction
for your closing costs in Money? I was going to group it as closing costs,
but maybe I shouldn't for tax purposes.

Personally, then, I'd reduce the amount in the asset account by this amount.

If you had any expenses at all in the purchase, credit it against those --
perhaps an inspection, loan application fee. If not, credit it to any
expense category that makes you comfortable -- like a miscellaneous expense
category.

I'm a buyer and there is no commission out of my pocket using i-Nest. It's
just dollars into my pocket that I need to track.

Duh. Yah. I was reading as buyer not seller. As seller, I'd agree with
Richard Bollar. Reduce whatever you expensed the original commission as.

Sounds like it would reduce the asset value. If it's in the closing
settlement, just transfer less to the asset. If it is outside that, just
transfer the money back to the account you deposit the check in.

It depends on how much detail you're showing of the closing costs in Money.
But in short, I would show it as a credit to wherever you charged the
original commissions.

Default How do I handle Real Estate agents refunds?

My wife and I will be closing on a house soon and we used a company that
offers 1% cash back of the sales price.

How would I record that in Money? Suggestions?
