About Larimer County, CO

Third time's a charm. The Estes Park and Estes Valley fire district finally passed voters approval. Carolyn Dietz is pictured doing a "Victory Dance" on the roof of her home in the Big Thompson Canyon. Carolyn is removing the sign that she had on the side of her home in support of the Fire District.

When Gerald Mayo was talking to Carolyn this morning she thought that a week was long enough to "Gloat" and it was probably time to take the sign down.

Congratulations to all who live outside the town of Estes Park that now have fire protection.

It is now law!

The Well known first time tax credit has been extended, but the news is that there is a new incentive that can apply to sellers.

There are several new rules that apply and I have been answering questions all morning.

I have set up www.sellerstaxcredit,com to help sellers understand.

Greetings!

I am proud to announce that a project I have been working on with a few great team members is nearly ready for take-off! The Estes Valley Workforce Downpayment Assistance Program has been set up with the local Housing Authority as a non-profit, received funding from CARHOF (Colorado Association of REALTORS Housing Opportunity Foundation) that is generated by the interest received on trust accounts holding earnest money and has recently been approved by Bank of America. It has been nearly 9 months since we started the process, and those of us involved are anxiously awaiting the time when it is ready to accept applications.

I am also proud to serve the Estes Park Board of REALTORS as its President this year. As part of my duties to both local REALTORS and the townspeople of Estes Park, I will be organizing fundraisers in conjunction with other civic groups in town to get our downpayment assistance program big enough to help a few families in its first year. In lieu of the typical installation banquet, our board had a silent auction to benefit our downpayment assistance program, with my dear friends, "The Kings of Swing" playing big band favorites at a delicious dinner at the Crag's Lodge here in Estes Park. We managed to raise nearly $1300 for the fund, while having a wonderful time enjoying the musicians and each other's company!

Seller's can get a piece of the action with a home buyers tax credit. If you are looking to sell your home and buy a new one, and have owned the home at least five years, you could qualify for up to $6500.00 in tax credits. The Senate has approved the measure and it is awaiting Congressional approval and Presidential signature, but this could help a lot of people transition from one home to the next. The Seller/ buyer would have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010, and close by June 30.

This is a new development and I will keep you informed!

Call me with questions!
