This is what we all have been waiting for.
Its even gets better, all those current home owners that wanted a Tax Credit. ITS HERE!!!
Who Qualifies for the Extended Credit?
To qualify as a "first-time home buyer" the purchaser or his/her spouse may not have owned a residence during the three years prior to the purchase.
If you or your client purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see: 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
Which Properties Are Eligible?
The Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit may be applied to primary residences, including: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops.
How Much Is Available?
The maximum allowable credit for first-time home buyers is $8,000.
The maximum allowable credit for current homeowners is $6,500.
How is a Buyer's Credit Amount Determined?
Each home buyer's tax credit is determined by tow additional factors:
Price
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, credit may only be awarded on homes purchased for $800,000 or less.
Buyer Income
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, which is effective on November 7, 2009, single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000-may receive the maximum tax credit.
These income limits have changed from the 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit limits. If you or your client purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
If the Buyer(s)' Income Exceeds These Limits, Can He/She Still Get a Credit?
Yes, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit.
The credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and between $225,000 and $245,000 for home buyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Home buyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income-over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.
Can a Buyer Still Qualify If He/She Closes After April 30, 2010?
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, as long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close.
Will the Tax Credit Need to Be Repaid?
No. The buyer does not need to repay the tax credit, if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during this three-year period, the full amount credit will be recouped on the sale.

This southern portion of Central Florida, also known as "The Ridge," is one of the most scenic areas of the Sunshine State. Our hospitality and the beauty of our lakes and rolling hills makes Lake Placid a perfect vacation destination.
Any season of the year is a good time to visit Lake Placid. Our moderate temperatures and sunny days assure plenty to do year-round. With our pristine freshwater lakes, it's no wonder that many recreational pursuits around Lake Placid are water related. Watersports, swimming, boating, sailing and fishing are popular activities with visitors and residents. Our blue skies, stately cypress, and beautiful lake views are perfect for picnics and hiking.
Large mouth bass are plentiful in the lakes, with six to eight pounders caught regularly. Bluegills, shell crackers and crappies are plentiful as well and provide excellent eating.
The Mural Society contributes to the beauty of our town and helps preserve our colorful history. 42 murals grace the sides of buildings around town and even the trash containers have color and style.

What is the right choose for you? Whether choosing a Certified Sort-Sale Professional or an experienced Realtor with some short sale experience. Make sure this is the right person to help you. Today you don't have to give up and walk away to go into foreclosure. There is an alliterative. Short Sale. Save yourself from Foreclosure with a Short-Sale. Use an agent that knows how to have the Lender release and Satisfaction of the Mortgage. |
|
The world of real estate is ever changing and never seems to remain constant for more than a brief period. Just a few years ago few agents or homeowners even knew what a short-sale was. Today the real estate landscape has changed dramatically and the time has come to bring in the certified professional. |

CDPE, Short Sale Specialist, 2010 ERA ADVANTAGE REALTY TOP PRODUCER IN SALES AND LISTINGS. 2009 REALTOR OF THE YEAR!! What an Honor for doing what you love. I Love
ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU. 
I am a licensed Florida Realtor serving Highlands County and many other areas of Florida. I not only work with local and out of town buyers and sellers but provide services and specialize in assisting Real Estate Investors find preconstruction opportunities, rental properties, vacant land, and much more!
I love what I do! I love the constant challenges I'm faced with daily. Every one of my clients is unique and that is exactly how I treat them. I'm proud to say that a high percentage of my business comes from past clients, people who choose my service time and time again.
I have over 20 years of business experience. Previous to Real Estate my husband and I owned a successful business in Palm Beach County for 16 years. I was a resident of South Florida for 36 years. I did most of my growing up years in Palm Beach County. My family (husband and children) have been coming to Highlands County since 1994. We fell in love with Lake Placid. In 1996 we purchased our first property here. We moved to Lake Placid permantaly in 2001 and couldn't be happier. In 2004 I was top 5 in Highlands County Board of Realtors in units sold. I sold 180 units in 2004. 2005 I was a Mulimillion dollar producer and recieved a Top Producer award from The Lake Placid Board of Realtors. 2006 I was a member of the awards commitee and the Banquete commitee. 2007 I was asked to be part of the Board of Directors for the Lake Placid borad of Realtor which I graciously accepted. I'm also the co chair for Lake Placid RPAC and continue to be on the Banquete committe, & The Awards committee. I also belong to Kiwanis, AQHA, APHA, and helped out for the Relay for life.
I specizle in Acreage, Residential, Waterfront, lots, whatever your needs are I'm there for you 150 percent. I know this county like the back of my hand. I rather educate you in what to look for and what you need stay away from. If I don't have the answers for you I'm more then willing to get them. This just gives me more knowledge.
I'm always getting: This is probably a stupid question. I don't feel any question is a stupid question. If you question something then its important to you and that deserves an answer.
I myself own waterfront, residential lots and acreage so when it comes to having the answers for you, I can say I've probably already questioned it or have researched the facts.
