About Green County, WI

I just returned from the annual WRA State Conference. AWESOME!!! I feel recharged and renewed to serve the buyers and sellers of Southern Wisconsin with even an higher level of customer service. If you are a seller, there are some new innovative tools that I will be adding to the TURBO Marketing program that I use to get your property sold. Please allow me to present to you this plan.

If you are a buyer the time is running out on the $8000 credit for first tome home buyers. You have about a month to get that offer in and to get all your conditions of purchase completed to make the November 30th closing deadline. Also let me share with you the ways I can help you navigate these ever changing waters to make your home a reality.

You can go to my website at greencountyhomeguide.com to find the latest news. I will post as soon as practicable.

In these tough economic times we live in we have been blessed with a great harvest from our garden, so much so we have been able to share with others who have need. Let's all be mindful of the many blessing we have and look for ways to help a brother in need even if it is a few vegetables. Have a great weekend.

August 28 already. Back to school time is here. Labor Day is just around the corner. How quickly this year has flown. Four more months left in the year.

Three more months before the $8000 first time home buyers tax credit expires.

Are you or someone you know hoping to take advantage of this tax credit? Time is running out. You must close on a home on or before November 30, 2009 in order to claim this credit.

Considering that the average closing happens about 30-45 days after an offer is accepted, there is not a lot of time left to find the perfect first home. If you are writing an offer on a short sale home, it can easily take 60-90 days to close, sometimes more.

Now is the time to be looking for your home if you want to take advantage of this offer. There are great homes out there, and with inventory very high right now, local sellers are willing to negotiate considerably more than they ever have in the past.

Give me or Luis a call if you are thinking of looking for a home. We will be happy to show you what is currently available in the area, and we can help you connect with a reputable mortgage banker who can help you figure out what you can afford in a home. Our market has houses from under $75K to hundreds of thousands, and everything in between. People start at all price points, and each buyer is valuable to us.

95 days and counting. Don't miss out on this credit; call us.

Here is a look ahead at area happenings in the upcoming week:

~ If your children are attending a Monticello school this year, remember that the open house night is on Friday at 6 pm.

~ Also in Monticello this weekend, Habitat for Humanity is working on this year's home. Come out to the site on Summet Avenue to help out or call Cathy at 513-1626 for more details.

~ There is a concert at the Piazza on Saturday evening. This is a private party concert, but the hosts love meeting new friends so gate crashers and new people are always welcome. Andrew Calhoun and Campground are performing folk music spanning spirituals to prison ballads. The potluck theme is 'Tis a Gift to be Simple. Call Terry or Nancy for details at 608-328-4023

~ Stef at Goose Chaser Farm between New Glarus and Blanchardville is having a tomato party on Saturday. Bring your ripe tomatoes and your canning jars. Together, attendees will boil, peel and puree their way to the scarlet jars of tomato sauce. Work like this is more fun with a group, so come out and participate. No canning knowledge or experience is necessary, so come learn. RSVP to Stef at 608-523-4165.

~ The Green County Entrepreneurs and Inventors Club meets on Monday evening at 6:30 in the New Glarus room of the Monroe Hospital. This month's topic is "Legal Aspects for Small Business. This meeting will be the September meeting due to the Labor Day holiday.
