Buying Your First Home Should Be Fun - Not an adventure!

Our friends at Wikipedia define Adventure as follows:

An adventure is an activity that comprises (perceived) risky, dangerous or uncertain experiences. The term is often used in reference to physical activities that have some potential for physical danger, such as skydiving, mountain climbing, and extreme sports. However, the term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical or psychological risk, such as a business venture, a love affair, or other major life undertakings.

As real estate agents, Janice and I don't think that words like dangerous or uncertain should be associated with a real estate transaction and the risks involved with activities like skydiving and mountain climbing should left to extreme sports enthusiasts.

To protect our clients, we write all of our contracts with the highest levels of protection available. All contingencies are included and the dates are tracked. We are proud to say that we have steered our clients clear of pitfalls and have never had a client fall into harms way during a transaction. We believe in words like safe and troublefree!

Are you looking fro a new home or do you know someone who is looking to buy a new home? Don't leave your financial well being in the hands of someone who you met at an open house. Their primary responsibility is generally to the seller. You need an agent who is dedicated to getting you into your new home in the safest manner possible.

Whether you are working to get your first time home buyer's $8000 tax credit or you just think it is time for a new house, we are here to help you.

Call us today for a free no obligation consultation.

The Tax Credit

Cannot stress enough the benefit of this tax credit until April 2010. Not only does it give some first-time buyers more hope, but also it allows these first time homebuyers and move up or move down borrowers the opportunity to take advantage of these low interest rates.

How long are we going to see these rates in the 5% range? Seriously, the weakening dollar will need to be strengthened to shrink our huge trade deficit. That will bring rates up. How long can the government continue to invest in these Mortgage Backed Securities? How solvent will FHA be in the future?

These are all serious questions that need to be addressed here, and NOW is the time to act to take advantage of this tax credit.

Anybody and everybody needs to spread the word that people need to take advantage of this credit because it will NOT get extended beyond April.

This is exactly what we need to help our industries and to help boost this economy.

Thank you again for your business

Sincerely,

Paul W. Thompson
