Tax rebate !!!

What a great time to purchase a home! The federal government will actually give a first time home buyer(also anyone who has not owned a home for 3 years or more) $8000 tax rebate for purchasing a home. Yes.. of course you need to have decent credit and you probably will have to have a down payment. But there are also some mortgages, for example a USDA - rural home loan that requires no money down. Or how about an FHA that requires 3.5 % down. If someone told me a few years ago that I could purchase a home and get a rebate (like buying a car) I would have said NO WAY! Come on first time buyers LETS GO !!!!

Happy New Year to all my fellow realtors!

Hello fellow realtors. Let's make it our point to make it a better year for all our clients. Whether its a first time home buyer or that couple looking for their dream home. Now is the perfect time to purchase a home. And let's not forget our clients who are having a really tough time keeping up with their mortgages. Let's give it our best effort to help them. And for those clients on the fence about listing their homes, with more and more buyers coming forward now might be "that time" to get thier home sold. Best wishes for a great new year!
