Lora Carlisle, Adminstrative Assistant for The Boehm Team was recently named to the National Association of Professional Women. Amy, Dona & Rita of The Boehm Team all agree that this is an award well deserved. We love having Lora's smiling face in the office and know that things will not fall through the crack as long as Lora is there. She takes care of all of us from helping us find our way when we are out showing to making sure that all the paperwork is in the title company and ready for close. Thanks from The Boehm Team
The Senate voted to 98-0 to extend the First Time Homebuyers Credit to April of 2010. It should be sent to the House for a vote sometime today. First Time Homebuyers will need to have a contract in place by the last day of April with a close by the last day of June to qualify.
In addition on this bill they have added $6500 refund for homeowners who will be buying a new homestead property. If the buyer has owned a primary residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8, they will qualify with some stipulations. The purchase price of the home can not be more then $800,000 and their income can not be more then $125,000 for an individual or $225,000 for a couple.
A homebuyer will also be able to claim the credit on their 2009 income tax even if they do not close until 2010.
So now we just sit back and wait to see if it passes the next stage.
Well now we know. President Obama did sign the bill so we are on our way. Call your favorite realtor or lender and find out how this can work for you.
Have you been approved for an FHA loan but all the houses you have been seeing just seem to need a lot of work. Then it is time for you to go back to your loan officer and ask if you might be able to qualify for the FHA Streamlined 203(k) loan.
This loan keeps you from having two separate loans on your new home, no more short term loans to pay for repairs at an interest rate you don't even want to think about. As always there are rules and regulations on what repairs qualify, so you will have to work closely with your realtor, inspector and loan officer to make sure that this is going to work for you. But you could receive up to $35000 in additional loan money to improve or upgrade your new home before move-in. All combined in your original mortgage loan at the interest rate you applied for.
So give your favorite loan officer a call and see what they can do to help you. As you know our favorite loan offiers are Jay Gilmore with W.R. Starkey and Sarah Nelson at Wells Fargo Bank, Boerne. So give one of them a call or someone you know and trust.

"Thank you for all the hard work you put into selling my house. You had an awesome packet put together before you even started selling the house. The pictures were the best I have seen; and not to mention there was a contract for a buyer 5 days after it was put on the market! We couldn't have asked for more! You even found an incredible house for us to move into! Thank you again for all you have done for us!"
-Steve "Cowboy" & Terry Gross
"The Boehm Team represented us when we purchased a second home in Horseshoe Bay. We wanted to move quickly, so she took time to understand what we were looking for and only took us to view properties that fit our criteria. They were professional and extremely responsive to our questions and any issues that came up throughout the process. We would do business with them again in a heartbeat and refer them to all of our friends!"
-Chris Urbanek
"They say that moving is the second most stressful occurrence in life, but thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was easy. It was evident that Amy had a good handle on managing the sales process from the beginning with great recommendations to prepare our home to sell and we could not have been more pleased with the marketing strategy used as the volume of interested buyers was great. Thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was a fast, efficient, and simple process."
-Kris Ryan
"I recently found myself in the market for a second home and selecting Jennifer Beaudet as my realtor was one of the greatest choices I've ever made. Finding the right property was effortless and we had an accepted offer within days. Jen then went to work securing a quick close date and continued to follow up daily on the progress we were making. The personal attention I received was absolutely unbelievable. At times, it seemed as if I was her only client. She remained right there with me every step of the way and certainly made the entire process enjoyable. Without hesitation, I would DEFINITELY recommend Jennifer Beaudet and the Boehm Team to anyone looking for real estate.
- Jon Ramsey
When we decided to move to a new area of San Antonio, My Boehm Team stepped in and made the transition a quick, easy and fun process!Within one week we had a contract on our new home and had sold our current one. Amy's expert knowledge of the market areas and value of homes ensured that we didn't waste a lot of time haggling over cost and worrying about closing the deals. We've recommended them to our friends and family....and we certainly plan to come back when we're ready for the next move!
