Great news for home buyers in the Greater Cincinnati Ohio area. The tax credit has been expanded with some new and exciting changes. Now buyers can still continue to purchase homes with confidence that they will be able to still get the tax credit after November 30th. As long as they have a binding contract in effect by April 30, 2010 and close the deal by June 30th, 2010.

Congress voted yesterday to extend and expand the program. The house vote was 403-12 in favor of the bill. The Senate approved the vote on Wednesday night in a vote 98-0. Now the President must finalize the bill with his signature this weekend.

There are some income restrictions and other rules so make sure to visit our link above and read the details. You can also call us to get an explanation. These credits only apply to single family home purchases.

In the meantime, refer to this NAR-provided link for more information.

If you have any direct needs or questions, please don't hesitate to call me directly at 513-478-3794. I can also refer you to a lender to get a great interest rate on your home.

Have a great day!

This year the Southern Ohio Association of Realtors put on their annual Trade Fair event in the Receptions in Eastgate, Ohio 5-8pm, Thursday October 22nd. There were tons of Realtors, Title Agencies, Inspectors, Stagers, lenders and other various vendors there in support of the association. I was fortunate enough to MC the event and had a blast making announcements and introducing the vendors to the Realtors over the microphone. The Trade Fair Committee has been meeting over the last 6 months on this event and the results were fantastic. The Committee members are:

Shirley Winters; Paula Hoeflich; Kathie Brahaney; Janet Carpenter; Jackie Hartley; Gregory S. Traynor; Gloria Chase; Delicia Noble; Byron Strickland; Annett Rebelo; Jerry Rice; Derek Tye

I recently used Neal's Septic Service in Goshen Ohio to have some work done on my personal Septic System. I live on a horse ranch/ hobby farm in Stonelick Township and have a Sand Filter Septic System. Mike was easy to get a hold of, came out within a few days of the call and gave friendly service. I would recommend them to my clients anytime.

Saturday my family participated in an outreach event to help some folks in Miami Township Ohio to have a great Saturday.. First, we met at our church (Rivertree) in Milford to pray, pack and prepare for the event. This event was a Block Party for an apartment complex in the area. Once we got there we divided up the work in teams and everyone pitched in. We grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, had chips, cookies, drinks and other snacks. Another set of volunteers prepared a table full of free toys to hand out to the kids. Another group organized a face painting booth while others cleaned the tennis court that we were holding the event in. There were probably about 75 volunteers total including kids and adults. About 100 residents came out to participate in the event. We just gave everything away to show God's love in a small practical way as a "kindness" outreach. I hope we can do another one again soon!

On August 22nd, 2009 I created my Facebook Fan Page with one fan, ME! As of now I have over 110 fans that have come aboard with this new page. I first created some content just like any new Facebook page. Next I added some photos of some community events that our Real Estate team has participated in. I posted links to my Blog and a link back to our main Real Estate Website. Finally I reserved a vanity URL to make the page easier to find. We were very fortunate to secure facebook.com/CincinnatiOhio. This was a real sweet opportunity for us. If you haven't secured your vanity URL yet I would recommend doing so before all the good ones are taken. You can do so HERE!

The next step was to invite all my friends to join my fan page. I did this by clicking on "Suggest To Friends." I then selected every user in my normal personal page friends list. I have about 150 users in this list and maybe half of them agreed to become a fan of my business page. Next, I asked my wife to do the same with her contacts. Last, I had our buyers agent do this with her contacts. We jumped up quickly over 100 after those two participated in this.

Now the key is to keep updating our new "site" with relevant content including anything you would want to blog about; updates to our website, new listings, open houses, press releases, awards, market reports, helpful links, etc. The key here is to not post more than one "post" per day so that you don't annoy or overwhelm your fans, hey, they are your fans after all!

We also added a really neat tab called "Homes for Sale" which links to our Realbird.com service. The tab was created by that company and they really did a nice job with the HTML. I don't know how to do it so the cost was worth it. Check it out to see for yourself what they did.

The next step is to create some community specific pages that I can also brand with unique vanity URLs. This will hopefully help me to specialize on the Internet to those folks. These would be smaller communities within the Greater Cincinnati Area that I do a lot of business within.

I want to start a small business to business clinic at our local Panera Bread where we invite local businesses to come and learn about creating a Facebook Fan Page. If you are in the area and would like to participate in this send me an email and let me know.

I hope you have found something here that is useful and will help you grow your business. If it weren't for others helping me, I would have never come this far. And I have much further to grow so I hope I can keep getting advice.

Have a great day and good luck on your Facebook page!

If you have any direct needs or questions, please don't hesitate to call me directly at 513-478-3794. I can also refer you to a lender to get a great interest rate on your home.
