How would you like to take advantage of the new tax credit by purchasing a new home and not have to put ANY money out of pocket? Are you a veteran of the US Military? Are you active duty getting transferred due to BRAC, but want to set your roots for your family? Check out the Home Loan qualifications to see if you are eligible for a 100% VA loan.
Utilizing this program and asking the seller to pay your closing costs could get you in a new home valued up to $417,000. Of course you must currently qualify for the new loan, but you get your new home with no money down, closing costs paid, and get a check back from the Government for $6500 or $8000!
Contact a lender of your choice-or if you don't know a good lender, give me a call-and you could start the ball rolling to get in your new home by the end of the year!
Gray Manor and Northshire Community Association is growing and becoming a stronger advocate for citizens in the communities. Last nights monthly meeting showed a great turnout of concerned citizens for what is happening, or should happen, within the Communities.
Officer Shipley's community crime report show detailed our low crime statistics, while explaining that what crimes were committed were mostly minor infractions and misdemeanors. This is one of the great benefits of living in these communities.
Ideas exchanged last evening with the board to aid in Community cleanup, traffic control, safety concerns and the general welfare of the citizenry were discussed. Two new committees were formed to investigate and discuss opportunities for traffic control/slowing devices and One-Way streets.
The Traffic control commitee will be headed by Board Treasurer, Stephen Luckett. This committee will look into possibilities of speed humps, limiters, slowing devices and new traffic signals at currently dangerous intersections like Trappe Rd and Page Dr. The amount of School traffic on Trappe Rd along with the amount of vehicles disobeying speed laws has made Trappe at Page Dr a very serious concern.
The One-Way streets committee will be headed by Board President, Linda Gossman. This commitee will work with the County on their street direction proposals and what would work best within our communities. Over the course of the last year, this has been a heated topic of debate, but the Board has committed to address this issue for the safety of our residents and their children.
If you are a resident of the Gray Manor or Northshire Communities, please join us for our next monthly meeting on Tuesday November 10th 2009. We meet the second Tuesday of each month (except July and December) at 6:30PM at the Gray Manor Luthern Church 212 Oakwood Rd Dundalk, MD 21222. You can check out new information, upcoming meeting, or ways you can help at our website www.graymanor.org.

One of the things that I love about the real estate business is the opportunity to adjust ones schedule to meet the needs of the family!
With 10 children in our blended family, it is important to have TIME to focus on the important things in life! And of course one of the most important is the addition of our 4th Grandchild!
Aiden Christopher was born Wednesday July 22 at 6:34 pm. He weighed 7 lb 7 oz and was 19.5 in long.
The picture was taken when he was just 10 minutes old!
I had to make many schedule adjustments when we headed for the hospital Weds morning, but of course my clients were all very happy to adjust to this great event.
Of course this meant an extremely busy day on Thursday and friday to catch up the re-scheduled appointments as well as maintain the appointments I had already scheduled. Happily, all is getting done and my clients are still happy to be working with a strong, christian, family oriented Realtor.
I guess you know where my off-time will be spent-at least until he starts to walk and talk!

Steve knew exactly what I was looking for and found the PERFECT house that was not even listed on the market! The house was a for sale by owner that had only been on the market a few days.
