There is much talk and even more questions about the first time homebuyers tax credit program. As part of the stimulus plan, Congress passed legislation earlier this year to grant tax credits up to $8000 to first-time homebuyers:
Here is the best part: The tax credit does NOT have to be repaid!
What are you waiting for? Call me for more information!

Here is a community that has the spirit and knows how to put on a Independence Day celebration! For the third year in a row, I was able to participate in the High Point 4th of July parade - this year as a driver.
The posting of the colors was conducted by members of the American Legion. The crowd gathered in the community center for good old fashioned hot dogs, cookies, cupcakes, and the singing of patriot songs!
Happy 4th of July!

Toady I went to inspect a property that I took as a new listing and to take the listing photos. Just doing my job. I removed a few dead bugs from the vacant home whose owners live out-of-state, I swept a little dirt away from the front door.
I took my photos, put up the lockbox and the sign. As I proceeded around the house, a sound got my attention and caused me to look up.
To my big surprise, there is someone who is calling this house a home already! Should I call him a tenant? Should I call him a squatter?
A little owl had made his home in the exterior molding which consists of some sort of foam and in absence of hollow trees or caves is apparently quite suitable for nest building!
He peaked at me, I peaked at him, we didn't seem too threatening to each other.
But wait.. the house is for sale! Do I need to disclose the feathered occupant? Do I just not say anything and hope once he is discovered, the new owners will allow him to stay? What I probably will do is to find a wildlife rescue organization and ask for advice. I'd rather see him moved than evicted!
