Dear Future Homeowner,
Congress has just extended and enlarged the Homebuyer Tax Credit. Now, Now for the first time, the Tax Credit is now available to all move-up Homebuyers and first-time Homebuyers.  This is a great incentives from Uncle Sam!! 

A new $6,500 Tax Credit  along with the $8,000 first-time Homebuyer Tax Credit will continue.  The credit is now available to couples with an income up to $225,000.  That is up nearly $55,000 from last time. Also, current move-up Homebuyers who have lived in their current residence for five of the prior eight years, get up to $6,500 credit.

This temporary Tax Credit is available for Homebuyers who purchase a home by April 30, 2010, and close on or before June 30, 2010.

If you've been thinking now is the time to buy, then you are correct.

Extend that with my commission rebate and you will save a TON of money.

Fall back and Spring forward.

Hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Thank you,

Jeff

I often have afavorite Title co. I like to work with as you probably do too.  Sometime listing agents insist on using their Title Co., but you can let them know that the buyer has their choice, so be sure to fight for your buyers right.

 
Section 9: Seller required title insurance

Section 9 of RESPA prohibits a seller from requiring the home buyer to use a particular title insurance company, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of sale. Buyers may sue a seller who violates this provision for an amount equal to three times all charges made for the title insurance.

Have a great week
