Okay People, I want to hear from you... If you are still in real estate and need a jolt, call or email me. I have a fun way of listenting and then giving you the kick in the butt you need to get going with your career in real estate, or is it a job for you???
Remember to watch The Secret video Again, monthly! You should have a new Dream board made for everything you want to achieve in life, even the small wants and goals- find a picture and get it on the board before the year is out! Next, crunch the numbers and work out your monetary goals with a start and finish date. Wanna lose weight, write that down too.
Stop "shoulding" on yourself and get moving, "Action?Makes it Happen! as my firend Deena would say. If your "give a shitter" is broken and you've been kicked to the curb this last year or two, by all means get it fixed and get moving- ASAP. Stop whining and get on with your life. We never said it was going to be easy. Taking the easy way out of your career is what landed this country in the heap of mess it is in! Go out and help your community by saving people from foreclosure. If you dont know what to do... ask a CDPE Agent and get more training.
Got Kids, and want to move beyond the simple goals of paying for college... then get a bigger goal like paying for their kids' college and leaving a legacy for your children's children or a group in the community. Simply put... it's time to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Cupertino Monta Vista High Homes MidWeek Update 11.12.09
Hello & Happy Harvest Season! This is Michelle Carr Crowe with your Cupertino Monta Vista High Homes MidWeek Update for 11.12.09.
The housing market in Cupertino with Monta Vista High continues to be stable. Currently there are a total of 33 single family homes for sale, ranging from $4.2 million to $868,000. There are 8 Condos and Townhome for sale. There are no multi-family units available right now.
I have *2* different pre-approved buyers who want to buy in the in the next 30 days and close before the Christmas holidays -but the homes they want and need aren't on the market right now. Who do you know who's thinking of selling that could use my help?
Tax Credit and Unemployment Benefits Officially Extended & Expanded
The existing tax credit for first-time buyers, originally set to expire at the end of the month, has been extended, expanded and approved by the House, Senate and President Barack Obama. The new measure allows both first-timers and existing homeowners to take advantage of thousands in the form of a tax credit. All properties must close by the end of April.
The measure would continue giving an $8,000 tax credit to first-time buyers.
In addition, it provides a $6,500 tax break to qualified homeowners looking to move up OR MOVE DOWN to middle-market homes that cost no more than $800,000. This can be an important bonus for seniors.
The legislation also significantly raises the qualifying income levels to $125,000 for individual income tax filers and to $225,000 for joint filers.
Finally, the bill would extend unemployment benefits 14 more weeks nationwide and 20 more weeks in California and other hard-hit states. That would give the long-term unemployed nearly two years' worth of benefits.

Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Lost in the hoopla about extending and expanding the "up to" $8,000 credit for new homebuyers is the credit for existing homeowners. In my opinion, this can be "Senior Salvation" - a tax credit for move-DOWN Cupertino sellers and buyers.
I called my broker, my local real estate board, the California Association of REALTORS®, and even the IRS to ask my question: does this credit apply for move-down buyers?
So far the answer is, "As long as they qualify and have a tax to apply the credit to, it looks like YES."
To summarize:
•1. A first time homebuyer is one that has not owned a home for at least three years.
•2. A repeat homebuyer must have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
•3. The maximum purchase price for the new home is $800,000.
•4. If single, your earning maximum to qualify is $125,000; if married, it's up to $250,000.
•5. There's no gap between the prior deadline (November 30th) and the new credit period, which ends April 30th.
•6. While you must be in a contract to purchase your new home on or before April 30th, you have until June 30th to close the transaction.
•7. To prove you qualify, you'll need to attach proof of purchase to your tax return (most likely a HUD-1 or final closing statement).
Caveat: please, please check with your tax professional and attorney before making any real estate commitments.
However, this may finally be a tax credit that helps seniors who've lived in their homes for more than five consecutive years of the past eight.
For example, a senior couple selling a $2 million dollar single family home in Cupertino Monta Vista they've owned for the past 8 years, then buying a new single-level 2 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.
And as the capital gains $500,000 tax-free credit is set to EXPIRE as of December 31, 2010, now is a huge window of opportunity for seniors seeking to maximize their benefits.
