I can not tell you the number of times a buyer has a home inspection and one of the items that come up are that there are voids in the sheet rock on the wall the separates the home from the garage, sometimes the wall has no sheet rock at all. The door between the garage and the home can be a concern also, as a buyer’s agent or a seller’s agent this is one of the repairs I encourage to be completed.

If you are wanting to buy a home and waiting your wait may cost you up to $8000, plus interest and possibly a higher price. The calendar shows spring is around the corner but the weather says it is here in Central Oregon and with that the end of the homebuyer tax credit deadline is fast approaching.

The homebuyer tax credit can give a married couple first time home buyers up to $8000 in tax credits. A first time home buyer is not necessarily an accurate phrase as the true meaning of a first time home buyer is someone that has not owned a home for 2 years.

There is a second tax credit that many move up or downsizing buyers can also qualify for this credit can be as high as $6,500 - to many that can make a significant difference in the bottom line of your taxes.

Yesterday I found out what Technical Hell is - I was scheduled for an all day class, had a couple transactions needing constant attention and buyers out there asking questions. On my way to my class my "smart phone" melted down and gave me a fatal blue screen.

Upon arriving at the class and connecting to the wifi I felt I was back in control even if I could not use my phone I could get my messages through and keep my world moving. Email, twitter, facebook, life was good. Then I realized I was not getting any responses to my email - that was odd. Oh great the wifi will not allow outgoing email - great - no phone - no out going email - Calgon take me away.

During our lunch break - I ran to the Cell phone carrier - and yelled HELP!!!!! The sales clerk was awesome - wish I had gotten her name - anyway - we got me all set up with a new phone - and as I was setting it up - I told her I was surprised at how much faster this phone was - that was when my day went from hell to heaven.

U.S. Cellular in Central Oregon FINALLY HAS G3 - whooo hoo - I am one happy girl - things are moving in the right direction.

Log homes are one of the most dreamed about homes in Central Oregon.  A log home is generally more expensive to build, insure and they generally sell for more.  Three Rivers South, an area just outside of Sunriver, Oregon has several log homes for sale.

Two such homes are currently available for sale as short sales.  I know, I know you all groan at the word.  Short sales are not as bad - yes they can take longer, but a short sale is just like any other transaction we just have a couple additional steps.  Buyers, do not let those two little words scare you away from buying a home of your dreams.  Now, not every agent is the agent you should choose to represent you in a short sale transaction.  You should always choose an agent that has additional education in short sales and knows the area.

Take a look at these beauties - start dreaming and call me so I can help make them yours.
