Just two quick updates!

GREAT NEWS FOR HOME BUYERS AND HOME SELLERS!!:

The Tax Credit Has Been Extended and Expanded-NO LONGER FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS ONLY!

What the past first-time buyer credit did was significantly positively impact the entry-level end of the real estate market. By expanding it, we're going to see some move-up buyers take action since there is now an up to 6500. credit for qualified buyers that are not first time buyers, too.

We hope this helps the move up and middle market as well. If you need details or help with this, please give me a call at 847-516-6760.

The expiration date for the new home buyers tax credit was extended to April 30, 2010. Home buyers wishing to take advantage of this great incentive to purchase a home must be under contract on their home purchase by the end of April and close by the end of June.

For more information, visit my website or just give me a call at 847-516-6760:

 Do you qualify for a short sale?

I have spoken with many homeowners lately, who are either facing foreclosure now or think they may be soon. Many have wondered if they would qualify to do a short sale and if I can try to help them do one to avoid foreclosure. I can definitely try to help a homeowner that qualifies and this video explains it really well. I am trained as a Certified Distressed Property Expert, CDPE, and if I can help you or someone you know, or if you'd just like to discuss your situation with me, please give me a call and it will be my pleasure to assist you and do all I can to help you to try to help you avoid foreclosure.

Remember, in addition to a Realtor that is trained in doing short sales, you also need to consult with tax professional and an attorney.
