Do you have clients who would like a copy of the The First-time Homebuyer Tax Credit flyer translated to Spanish (neutral). The link above does just that. I found this on out local MLS website. It links to the Illinois Assiciation of Realtors website. It is just one more way for us to get the word out to as many potential clients as possible. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

Here is a link to a video I found on Facebook that explains the first time home buyer tax credit. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1046699255016&ref=nf#/video/video.php?v=1044904570150

It has some interesting information in it that I was not aware of. There are also some good videos explaining this tax credit on YouTube. Sometimes having a video explanation for our clients is better than more papers that we have to give them to read. Save a tree and show this video!

As we make our way from the snowy season to the beloved rainy season, I am reminded that rain means mud. So when you are out and about touring your dream home, be courteous. Take off your shoes and leave them at the door. Remember you are but a guest in the home until you actually purchase it, so keep the mess to a minimum. Since you are going to be taking your shoes off on a regular basis throughout the day, no holes in the socks and make sure they're clean, again out of courtesy and to save yourself some embarrassment.

Please always remember dear buyer when you are touring a new construction home that is under construction that it is just that. Construction can be dirty, dust everywhere, they did recently dig a hole in the ground so there may be a bit of extra dirt here and there and if it has rained recently, that dirt has most assuredly turned to my friend mud. That being said, wearing your Sunday best may not be your best decision. If ever an occasion called for dressing casual this is it. Happy hunting!
