Beaufort County Realtors were given CEE credit and learned new financing options for our buyers and sellers of homes. VA loans are easily assumable which appeals to investors but also to individuals who might encounter difficulty qualifying for a new loan. 
Ever wonder how your credit is rated and what weight each component carries? Do you hear mixed messages about what will improve your score? Did you realize that each of the 3 credit agencies reference different data and that your score is different with each. When you monitor your rating, you can and should check each and can do so for free. Just know that many differences exist in lender qualification requirements so one denial doesn't mean another won't lend.
There are some very simple steps that a family can take to help their children qualify for a mortgage, thereby saving the expense of rent. In our current market with the lowest prices in the last 10 years, coupled with the first time buyer incentive of $8000, this really is a very smart time to buy and we know many secrets to qualification.
Are you in a starter home but need more space for a growing family but cannot see how you would qualify for a larger loan? There are legal and safe ways for family members to help you without endangering your credit, their credit and taking advantage of the current tax laws and the current market.
Sellers can utilize methods other than price reduction to accomplish the same goal of selling their property by offering buyer incentives that actually make the purchase possible for those needing to buy. Rate buydowns can mean more than price reductions in the long run and are more advantageous to all parties.
Our market today will make us all more creative, smarter and likely more inquisitive with our buyers and sellers about exactly what they need to make the deal work!

The Rotary Foundation held the Presidential Gala to welcome Rotary International President Dong Kurn (D.K.)Lee to the Lowcountry last night. He spoke about the Polio Eradication Program and how polio has successfully been eradicated from all but 4 countries through the efforts of Rotary.
New Major Donors and new Bequest Society members were recognized and introduced to D.K. The long reaching effect of this rather quiet group of humanitarians deserves commendation.
Another program of Rotary, through the Hilton Head Island Club is helping burn victims. Present last night was a 5 year old from the Phillipines who was to have plastic surgery to repair burn injuries.
Other programs of Rotary International include improving living conditions for needy families, increasing food production and providing clean water, making immunizations and medical treatment more available, and encouraging international understanding and promoting peace between countries.

Obama's Housing Stimulus Plan is a great call to action for the young people of our nation as well as anyone else who is a first time home buyer. First time home buyer in this case is anyone who has not purchased or owned a home in the last 3 years. These buyers will be eligible for a tax credit of 10% of the purchase price up to the maximum of $8000. So, as long as the home purchased is over 80,000. they will be eligible for the full amount.
There are income restrictions, but they are generous and if the property is purchased by a couple, both must meet the first time buyer qualification. At tax time, the $8000 is a credit against taxes owed and if less is owed, then cash rebate will be given.
Buying your first home...I remember the thrill of buying my first home. It was mine! It was an investment in our future! I was grown up! I could decorate to suit our tastes! I had room for a fence for my pets!!! A home for our children to be!! What a thrill.....that is what your first home should mean. Now with the help of our government, first time buyers can take advantage of the largest selection of homes ever on the market in recent years, the lowest prices in quite a few years, and $8000 cash incentive to boot! Everyone should be knocking down doors to participate!
Now, the big question is, will the lenders get on board and make it happen? I am being told they will, so time will tell. Meanwhile I am telling everyone I see that one of the best opportunites in recent years is waiting for them, so come on!
