Rebuild America and America's Middle Class By Extending and Expanding The $8,000 Tax Credit

We must rebuild America and America's middle class by extending and expanding the $8,000 tax credit. There has been a rebound in housing in America due to the first time homebuyer's tax credit. Our huge inventory has decreased and prices have increased. For America to recover and for our middle class to truly recover this tax credit needs to be increased and extended to all home buyer's. In a recession the first thing to go down is the residential real estate market. History has taught us that in order for our economy to rebound and become healthy again the residential real estate market must lead the way in recovery. In doing so the industry that represents over 50% of our jobs ( real estate ) will cause unemployment in America to shrink. What better stimulus plan than to shrink job losses and stop the loss of residential equity in America. Every agent needs to expand this conversation over the next 30 plus days so our recovery in America can continue.

Best Time To Buy A Home In 40 Years!!!

It is the Best Time To Buy A Home In 40 Years!! Values are at a forty year low. Interest rates are at a 40 year low. The government will give you money to buy a new home. The stimulous plan will bring inflation in the future which will raise interest rates and home values. We are presenly at the bottom or close to the bottom of the real estate market. This next twelve months will bring many foreclosure opportunities into the market place for motivated sellers and motivated buyers! The falling American Dollar will continue to fall and will provide less and less buying power for American's buying homes. Dallas is one of five metropolitan cities that will swell with jobs,because it has moved out of the recessionary times. New agents are moving to North Texas to take advantage of our excellent Dallas real estate market. I have a new agent joining my office next week moving here from New England to take advantage of the Dallas Real Estate opportunities. I invite other agents to add to my list of reasons why buyer's should be buying Dallas Homes Right Now!!!

First Time Home Buyer's Need To Save Money By Using Buyer's Agents

First Time home buyer's need to save money by using buyer's agents. Prior to the internet taking over the real estate business buyer's were more aware of their need for their own agent representation. Every statistical measurement of real estate aquisitions indicates that purchasers who use professional buyer's agents save 2-7% in the price they pay for their home. Listing agents work exclusively for seller's. Buyer's real estate agents work exclusively for purchasers. With the multiple listing service being available for all home buyers a common practice is for the home buyer to pull up properties for sale and then drive by houses they have initial interest in. A common mistake they make is to call the listing agent and look at the house through the listing agent. The listing agents job is to get the highest dollar amount for the seller. So more and more buyer's are using the seller's agent to buy their home. Sadly if they had taken the time to get their own representation then they would save money and the seller would retain the job of paying the buyer's agent. That's right they save money and the seller pays for it. A home purchase is the biggest aquisition most people make in their life. In the largest purchase most people make in their life it only makes sense that a professional buyer's agent is a must for the buyer. Why would anyone make a six figure purchase using their own amateur knowledge or the advice of the seller's agent?

First Time Home Buyers Free $8,000 From The Government Extended and Expanded!

First Time Home Buyers can obtain up to $8,000 if they buy a home by November 30,2009. In the history of home buying never has the opportunity been better. The definition of a first time home buyer is anybody in America that has not owned a home in the last three years. With rates,values and free money from the government never in the history of home buying has the opportunity been better for first time home buyers. In Texas a home buyer making an FHA Loan can buy his home,and after receiving his refund from the government be in his new home for little to no cash out of his own pocket.A proven principle in real estate purchasing is the following. The point of maximum financial risk in buying real estate is buying when everyone is euphoric. The point of maximum financial opportunity in buying real estate is buying real estate when everyone is despondent and depressed concerning economic conditions in the marketplace.If you can embrace this truth then together let us start your search for a new home. Remember to use a professional buyers broker who will save you money and time,and the best part is that the seller pays the agents fee. Only in America can you make your biggest financial purchase,and get professional service that is paid for by the seller! To contact me go to: http://www.homebuyerfree8k.com

Reo Market Conditions in Dallas,Texas as of Fourth Quarter 2009

I own Exit Realty Metro Dallas,Texas. Many of my agents are interested in our present Reo market. One of my agents was talking to me about it the other day. She was very conflicted, because she was gearing up to be very active with Reo's,but did not want to be compared to the Reo Agents that were already very involved. She felt that a monopoly of Reo Agents had been formed,and that these same agents during normal market conditions were second string agents who did not mix well with the agent population at large. Her three biggest concerns were that her analysis of the present situation taught her these critical points. First that it took at least twice as long to sell an Reo Property, because the present cast of characters lacked in people skills to get the job done timely. Secondly that service to her clients was most important to her,and that if she was an Reo agent she would be compared with the present cast of characters. Finally that if somebody did not break up this present monoply and divide these assets evenly amoungst the present real estate agent population, that any hope for a timely economic recovery was not likely.
