I believe buyers still have many questions regarding the first-time homebuyer's tax credit.
Real estate professionals in the following video give an explanation of the tax credit. Keep in mind that the November 30th deadline is fast approaching.

On Aug 31, my short sale listing in Plainfield IL closed. What seemed to be a long process with many 
hurdles finally came to an end. In this case, the process took a bit longer because there was a private mortgage insurance company that also needed to approve the short sale. In addition, the bank's negotiator was somewhat unorganized -- let an approval letter and BPO expire -- not good.
The seller owed $260,000, and the short sale was approved for $190,000. It took 120 days from receipt of contract to close.
The success also came from everyone being patient and working together. The buyer's agent was very understanding and great to work with, the buyers were extremely patient -- even had a wedding in between -- the attorneys were the glue that held everything together.
Yes, short sales are a lot of work but in the end, are very rewarding -- with one less foreclosure on the market and to hear the grateful words of seller -- out weighs all the work.

Specializing in Residential Real Estate, since 1997 and service the towns of: Naperville, Aurora, Lisle, Plainfield, Bolingbrook, Warrenville, Wheaton, Woodridge or other surrounding areas.
I was raised in an Italian family, where everyone - if you were family or not - was treated like family. You were welcomed into a home where everyone had an open invitation to come and gather together.
I was taught the importance of values, of respect, honesty and integrity. I have since carried over these values into my Real Estate business. I look out for my clients' best interest just as though it were my own and it is my goal from the beginning to end of the transaction to make sure my client feels confident about the decision they have made.
Real Estate Professional -
I am a firm believer of "treat others the way you would want to be treated", which applies to both my clients and fellow colleagues. I find that it is important to work together to bridge the gap between Buyer and Seller, to keep in constant communication with all parties to create a "win-win" for both Buyer and Seller.
My Family -
I have been married to my contractor husband for 21 years - I have learned a lot about home construction in those years and bring that knowledge when helping my clients.
I have 4 children between the ages of 18-12
I have 2 cats, and a German Shepard puppy
We are members of the Evangelical Free Church of Naperville - Pastor Dale rocks!
Naperville My Home -
I was born and raised in Chicago and have made Naperville my home since 1995. 
Naperville is unique in that it is a large city with a population of over 140,000, but with a small town feel. There is always something to do in Naperville from summer to winter festivals, a walk along the picturesque Riverwalk, basking in the sun at Centennial Beach, or enjoy some of the best dining establishments and shopping options that Naperville has to offer.
Naperville is home to two highly rated public school systems and has been named "#1, #2, or #3 Kid Friendliest City" by Zero Population Growth since 1997. Modern Maturity magazine named Naperville among the top ten places to retire in the country; and Home Computing magazine named Naperville among the top five cities in the country to start a home based business. Money magazine has also rated Naperville #1 place to live the midwest and #3 in the country., July 17, 2006: Naperville is rated #2 among Great American Towns in the US by Money Magazine.
Naperville offers a wide array of real estate investment options, from Condos to Luxury Homes, located in Historic neighborhoods or Family friendly subdivisions.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions that will ever be made, and it is important to have the most efficient support team. Maria was most definitely a major part of our team. We purchased our primary residence with Maria in September 2008 and we are very happy with our new home. It was a pleasure working with her and her patience really paid off. It's great when a realtor allows you to take your time and understands the importance of your final decision. Being in the mortgage industry for over 6 years I've had many experiences both good and bad, and doing business with Maria was hastle free. Throughout our search Maria made us feel comfortable and although she is our realtor, she also became a friend of ours. I have and will continue to refer all of my own referrals/clients, friends and family to Maria knowing they are in good hands.
A satisfied client,
Lourdes M. Lopez
