It is our jobs as professionals to make sure a buyer has taken the time to get pre-qualified so we are showing homes to them they can afford and for what they are qualified to purchase given … (98 comments)

The other day I was reading a re-blog by Jane Peters and was reminded that California was adding the $10K credit in addition to the $8K tax credit...I couldn't help but think the double dipping was quite an incentive for those in the sunshine state!

I told them about the additional $10K incentive that CA is offering and they were astounded and didn't think she knew … (10 comments)
