Stop Missouri Double Taxation on real estate and say Yes to a new constitutional amendment

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:00:34 -0600

The State of Missouri currently does not levy a transfer tax when a home sells - we are one of only a few states that does not "double tax" real estate. We'd like to keep it that way!

If you live in Missouri, I encourage you to read the post below and visit the website.

We must join together to ban a Missouri transfer tax.

Via Grant Hickman (The Grant Hickman Team):

Let’s stop Missouri politicians from penalizing homeowners and buyers

Missouri is one of 13 states that does not levy a transfer tax on home sales, and a coalition of property owners, businesses and the Missouri Association of REALTORS™ want to keep it that way.

The group sees transfer taxes as double taxation because Missourians already pay property taxes on real estate. A petition drive and a website have been created to help homeowners and potential buyers reach lawmakers who have the power to levy such a tax.

To place a state constitutional amendment on the November 2010 ballot to prohibit Missouri lawmakers from passing the tax initiative, the group needs more than 157,000 valid signatures. To make voters more aware of this issue, a new website, www.YesToSaveHomes.com is now online to help consumers learn more about the tax, calculate the tax based on the home’s sale price, and get involved.

Here’s the simple and straightforward proposal: “Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to prevent the state, counties and other political subdivisions from imposing any new tax, including a sales tax, on the sale or transfer of homes or any other real estate?”

As an example, here’s a calculation on a St. Charles County home sale. The home sold for $150,000 and at the St. Charles County taxation rate of 7.0750%, the amount would be an additional $10,612.50.* Jane Mendenhall, president-elect of the Missouri Association of Realtors, believes the transfer tax places undue stress on low-income Missourians who typically spend a larger percentage of income on their home.

Add the mix of Missourians who have lost their jobs, had pay cuts and have been forced to sell their homes or experienced a drop in property values, and the transfer tax just isn’t good for the recovering Missouri economy.

Legislators are looking around to fine new sources of revenue. The transfer tax is one of those sources politicians are eyeing. With the help of voters and homebuyers, the transfer tax will not be an additional burden on Missouri residents.

* This number is based on area percentages.

Why I Love Mondays!

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:05:21 -0500

WOW! It feels great to be getting back to my blog! Family Life and the world of real estate have kept me occupied the last few weeks - boy, have I missed writing about South West Missouri real estate and the happenings around here!

While this isn't an original piece, I thought it was fitting for how I've been feeling -

We have to start somewhere!

Via Claire C. (ActiveRain Corporation):

I have expounded on the brilliance of mornings in the past, and now, I'm afraid I must write an ode to Mondays. There are people in this world who, when Monday rolls around, they hit the snooze button eighteen times before finally rolling out of bed, their hair mussed and going every direction, dark circles under their eyes, and pajamas rumpled from their tossing, turning escapades of the night past.

Perhaps I need not say it, but I'm not one of those people. I rolled out of bed bright and early this morning at 7am, brushed my teeth, pulled on the clothes I'd laid out last night, grabbed the bag I'd packed, grabbed my pop tarts and headed to work. I flew across the 520 bridge and soared up 405, parking in my favorite spot upon arrival and taking a quick jaunt to Starbucks for an iced mocha.

Yes, it was a good morning.

Setting down with my mocha and my Todoodlist, I added a few items that had popped up over the weekend, sent out prepatory emails to some of the guys so that I had what I needed by the end of the day, and got down to work. Lunch flew by without a fuss - everyone's lunch order was correct this time! Woot!

Now, I'm sitting here, and it's 2:34pm. My Todoodlist is now down to three items for follow-up -- down from eighteen this morning. Now, orange juice in hand, I'm considering the rest of my day. I have just an hour and a half before it's over, and that is PLENTY of time to get some of the more tasteless frogs swallowed.

Mondays are wonderful work days for me because I have SO much energy. I'm a yes-girl on Mondays - "Yes, I can do that!" "Sure, I'll get right on it!" "Absolutely, I have time for that today." I think this energy is the product of keeping my weekends low-key; if you're always running around, when do you have time to breathe? Story of my life!

So an ode to Mondays... They are definitely my high-energy, high-production day. I know Jon thinks I'm super-organized and uber-productive, but everyone has those days where they don't feel like they got anything done (I've posted about a few myself!). All I have to say is: Thank the Rain for Mondays.... we have to start somewhere, and why not start on the best foot possible?

Some tips for happy Mondays:

On FRIDAY, make your Monday to-do list, so you don't think about it at all over the weekend. Neaten your desk.

Sunday evening, eat before 8pm and get to sleep at a reasonable hour. If you have time, read before bed.

Monday morning, get out of bed the first time your alarm goes off. Studies show that people actually feel MORE tired after hitting the snooze.

Upon arrival to work, add the new items that came through your inbox to your to-do list.

Get some coffee or orange juice, make sure you've eaten SOMETHING (even if it's just a banana).

Start at #1 on your to-do list and race yourself to see how much you can get done before the next person arrives at work.

Finally:

7. Make sure you always have ONE THING on your desk that makes you happy. Right now, I have daffodils!

So.. How much WILL the Sellers take?

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:13:04 -0500

It's no secret that I love to list property, be it a home, land, commercial building or farm in South Central Missouri. There is something about looking at a property, taking photos, listing the features and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together until we get to the closing table. The process is rather addictive!

You may be surprised to learn the most popular question I receive as a listing agent - So... what is the Seller's bottom dollar? How low will they go?

Pat Kennedy sums up why, as a buyer, you can cross that question off your list and move on to the next... but don't wait too long - or your perfect Buffalo MO property may be long gone!

Via Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors):

If you are thinking about making an offer on a house you like, chances are you are planning to make an offer for something less than the asking price. And chances are you'd like some idea of what the magic number might be - the absolute least amount of money the seller will take.

Well, if you are thinking about asking the listing agent for this little piece of information, save your breath! If she knows, she can't tell you.

But guess what! She doesn't know. She doesn't have a clue.

And guess what else! The sellers don't know either. They won't have a clue of what their bottom line is until they are faced with an offer and go back and forth a few times with the prospective buyers.

So if you are wondering what the sellers will take, make an offer. If your number is too low, the worst thing that can happen is that they will reject your it. In this market, however, they are more likely to make a counter-offer. After a little give and take, you will get your answer, and if you can reach a meeting of the minds, you'll have a new house.

One of the great things about buying in a buyer's market is that you can negotiate, and most sellers are willing to do a little horse trading to sell their homes.

If you wait until the market turns around, you could find yourself having to compete with other buyers who all want your house!

Do you know if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac holds your loan?

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:15:54 -0500

Did you know your loan may not be with the same lender as when you first signed your paperwork to purchase your Southwest Missouri home?

Loans are often "sold" after the initial purchase. You may now have a "loan servicer" to deal with rather than the actual lender.

Why should this matter to you? Right now it may because of all the Federal programs and assistance coming down the pipeline.

To find out if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac holds your loan, read on... great information below...

Via Winston Westbrook Victorville Real Estate Broker/Notary:

This seems to be the question of the hour.

How do I find out if Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae has my loan??

To find out if either of these two giants have your loan you need to first call your lender or loan servicer (the one who sends you a mortgage statement every month) and ask them if one of the two have your loan. If they do not want to tell you because some might not or if you do not feel comfortable with the customer service reps answer then you can find out directly from Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by clicking the direct links below or calling the toll free numbers:

Does Freddie Mac have my mortgage online request form

1-800-FREDDIE (8am to 8pm EST)

Does Fannie Mae have my mortgage online request form

1-800-7FANNIE (8am to 8pm EST)

Once you know who has your loan you can then see if you qualify for the new refinance program that begins today for homeowners throughout America that are current with their mortgage payments but have not been able to qualify for a refinance due to the loss of value in their home.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

at least two full bathrooms is a must
at least three bedrooms
hard wood floors would be nice, but not required
a basement would be nice

Lebanon MO area real estate moving again... my buyers found out the hard way!

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:22:52 -0600

What an incredible day!

I am working with a wonderful couple that have three daughters. They transferred to the Lebanon Missouri area a few years ago and have been renting since then. Feeling they will stay here, without another transfer in the near future, they decided to buy. They have been to the bank, they have been pre-approved and have money in the bank for a down payment. All the pieces are in place to make an offer on a home.

Earlier this week, we looked at a foreclosure in Phillipsburg Missouri. Our choices have been some what limited as they want to stay in the Laclede County R-1 school district. There isn't a whole lot for sale in this school district, as it ranks well in the State and has a very strong reputation in the area. There is limited turn over within the boundaries of the district.

So... back to my story. We look at the home. A few family members look over the home. The buyers made a list of potential repairs and went home to talk about an offer. They later called to say they would be in Friday morning, their day off, to write an offer.

This morning, we meet at the Lebanon MO office and I pull up the data sheet. I go on to pull up our state forms software, flipping back to the MLS data sheet. Upon doing so, the page refreshes...what do I see? The home is now under contract? What? Five minutes ago it still showed as "active."

Placing a call to the listing agent, I find out that the REO company did indeed accept an offer this morning from another local buyer.

My buyers lost a home that had everything they were looking for - the right school district, a little bit of land, no major repairs, a storm shelter or safe room and at least two full baths.

As of today, the home had been on the market 169 days. They thought they had plenty of time. They thought it wasn't going any where any time soon. They thought homes weren't moving - that is what the media told them.

The morning was an emotional roller coaster.

Our market has seen an increase in Internet traffic and an increase in telephone calls. It looks like we'll also see an increase in pendings and solds in the near future.

If you're thinking of buying or selling, why wait?

Strange, True or Urban Legend? Missouri Trivia

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:59:08 -0600

Being a Missouri "transplant" - I've lived here since January of 2000 - I still enjoy learning about my state. It's rather fun to read these strange and unusual tidbits.

Thanks to Ryan Shaughnessy for doing all this work for us!

Hope you enjoy this read as much as I did...

Via Ryan Shaughnessy, Broker/Attorney - Your Lafayette Square Real Estate Partner (PREA Signature Realty - www.preasignaturerealty.com):

More than a State Motto - The Show Me State: The unofficial motto for the State of Missouri is "The Show Me". The phrase was coined by U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan. While giving a speech at a naval banquet in Philadelphia, he uttered the line: "I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me." It is debatable whether or not he was the first to coin the phrase, but his offthe cuff comments made the phrase popular.

State Animal - Stubborn as a Missouri Mule: The official state animal for Missouri is the Missouri Mule. However, no man represented the stubborn spirit of the Missouri mule more than Valentine Tapley from Pike County, Missouri. During Abraham Lincoln's campaign for the presidency, he swore that he would never shave again. True to his word, Tapley did not shave from 1860 to his death in 1910. His beard, as reported in the New York Times, was over 12 feet long.

State Capital - Three Cities, Six Building:  Missouri has had six state capitals in three different cities. The first general assembly was held at the Mansion House in St. Louis (Third and Vine). It was then moved to the Missouri Hotel in St. Louis (Maine and Morgan). In 1821, the state capital was temporarily moved to St. Charles. Finally, in 1826, it moved permanently to Jefferson City. The first state capital in Jefferson City burned in 1837 and the second burned in 1911. The present state capitol was completed in 1917.

They Sure Pass Some Odd Laws:  In Missouri, there have some good and bad laws passed. Here are some of the more interesting laws:

Ballwin: Vulgar or obscene language prohibited except in your own home.

Buckner: Yard waste may be burned any day except Sunday.

Columbia: Television antennas prohibited. 25′ satellite dish permitted.

Columbia: Clotheslines prohibited. Clothes draped over a fence permitted.

Kansas City: Minors prohibited from purchasing cap pistols - shotguns permitted.

Kansas City: Installation of bath tubs resembling animal paws prohibited.

Leadwood: Pilots eating unshelled roasted peanuts or watermelon while flying is prohibited.

Marceline: Minors can buy rolling paper and tobacco - purchase of lighters prohibited.

Marquette: Illegal for more than 4 unrelated persons to occupy the same dwelling ("The Brothel" Law)

Merryville: Women are prohibited from wearing corsets.

Mole: Frightening a baby is prohibited.

Natchez: Provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants is prohibited.

Perryville: Throwing hard objects at birds prohibited.

Purdy: Dancing is strictly prohibited.

St. Louis: Sitting on curb and drinking beer from a bucket prohibited.

St. Louis: Milkman running while on duty prohibited.

St. Louis: Parking an auto without turning off the engine is prohibited.

Springfield: Door to door salesmen prohibited from selling goods in street or screaming at cars.

University City: Four women renting an apartment together is prohibited.

University City: Owning PVC pipe is prohibited.

University City: Requesting someone to "watch over" your parked car is prohibited.

University City: Honking another person's car horn is prohibited.

However, Missourians have always found creative ways to avoid the long arm of the law. Before 1866, it was illegal to educate blacks in Missouri. The Reverend John Berry Meachum beat the law by taking his students out on a boat and holding class in the middle of the Mississippi River.

Culinary Delights and Other Food Firsts: The 1904 World's Fair held in St. Louis saw a number of first including the first ice cream cone, first iced tea, first sliced bread, and first use of the term "hot dog" to describe a sausage on a bun. Two iconic soft drinks where launched in St. Louis. Dr. Pepper was introduced at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis and 7-Up was created in St. Louis in 1929.  "7" was selected for the original 7-ounce containers and "UP" for the direction of the bubbles. In 1899, the first ready-mix food (known as Aunt Jemima's pancake flour) to be sold commercially was invented in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Mother Nature: Warsaw, Missouri holds the state records for the lowest temperature (-40 on February 13, 1905) and highest temperature (118 on July 14, 1954)on February 13, 1905.  In 1811, the most powerful earthquake to strike the United States occurred in New Madrid County, Missouri. The earthquake shook over 1 million square miles and was felt over 1000 miles away. In 1925, the most destructive tornado on record occurred in Annapolis, Missouri where over a three hour period it created a 980 foot wide trail of demolished buildings and left 823 people dead and 3000 injured.

Famous (or Infamous) Missourians: Missouri has had its share of famous and infamous Americans. Here are a few examples:

Jesse Woodson James was born in Kearney, Missouri. For 15 years, Frank and Jesse James robbed trains and banks throughout the United States until 1882 when he was shot and killed by Bob Ford in St. Joseph, Missouri. Ford shot James to the $10,000 reward from the Pinkerton Detectives.

Harry S. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri.  As President of the United States, Truman ordered the use of atomic weapons against Japan at the end of World War II.

Samuel Clemens, more familiarly known as Mark Twain, was born in Florida, Missouri. He later moved to Hannibal. He started as a printer's apprentice of the Missouri Courier in Hannibal, Missouri, and later wrote for the Saturday Post in Keokuk, Iowa. He is best known for his novels - Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn based, in part, on his years as a riverboat captain.

Laura Elizabeth Ingalls, writer of Little House on the Prairie, lived in Mansfield, Missouri. She bequeathed her copyrights and royalties to a library in Mansfield, Missouri.  However, this little library received a total of $28,000 until 1999. In 1999, the Wright County Library Board and later the State of Missouri sued Harper Collins and others for the past due royalties. It is believed that the case quietly settled for an estimated $875,000.

Area Attractions: St. Louis offers more free, major visitor attractions than anyplace outside of Washington, D.C., including the Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis Zoo, Cahokia Mounds, Museum of Westward Expansion, St. Louis Science Center, Missouri History Museum, Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and Grant's Farm. In 1948, architect Eero Saarinen's design for a 630-foot stainless steel arch was chosen as a part of a nationwide competition for the monument to the spirit of the western pioneers.  In 1963, construction of the Gateway Arch began. The Gateway Arch was completed on October 28, 1965. At 630 feet tall, the Gateway Arch remains as the tallest monument constructed in the United States.

BBQ - The Tale of Two Cities: Kansas City is known for its barbeque. In 1908, Henry Perry made Kansas City BBQ famous by selling his smoked meats in an alley stand in the Garment District. He later moved to an old railroad car near the famous corner of 18th & Vine. Although Kansas City may be known for its barbeque, St. Louisans consume more barbecue sauce per capita than any other city in America.

Missouri Music: The state musical instrument is the fiddle and the state dance is the square dance. However, St. Louis is known as the home of the blues and Sedalia is known as the birthplace of classical ragtime.

Missouri - Split between The South or North: In 1854, Missourians and Kansans battled over whether Kansas would become a "free-state" or a "slave state."   Some historians claim that these pitched battles were the effective start of the civil war. Missouri was split in loyalty during the the Civil War (or War of Northern Agression). One remnant of this split is that the Police Board for the City of St. Louis is still controlled by and its members appoint by the Governor. During the Civil War, Missouri was the site of over 1000 battles - third only to Virginia and Tennessee.

Transportation: In 1870, the first train of the Atlantic-Pacific Railway, later known as St.Louis-San Francisco Railway, or "Frisco," arrived in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1912, the first successful parachute jump from a moving airplane was made by Captain Berry in St. Louis, Missouri. Kansas City has more miles of boulevards than Paris and more fountains than any city except Rome. It also has more miles of freeway per capita than any other metro area with more than 1 million residents.

A Friendly State: Missouri (tied with Tennessee) is the most "neighborly" state in the United States bordered by eight states: Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

Hauntings:  The movie and book "The Exorcist" was based loosely on an exorcism performed at the old Alexian Brothers Hospital on Broadway in St. Louis.

I hope you enjoyed the Missouri trivia. I don't know whether the trivia is fact or fiction - but they sure have been repeated often enough.  If you are locating to St. Louis, we would like the opportunity to show you why St. Louis is a great place to call home (beyond its interesting trivia).

If you decide to snooze, you may just lose - now is a great time to SELL

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:45:02 -0600

Griffin Georgia real estate broker Jessica Horton is more blunt than I am and has a way of adding humor to drive home her point.

I recently wrote a post outlining four reasons why someone should sell now - Jessica gets right to the point for buyers and sellers - if you snooze you may just lose.

Buyers are out there - If you're thinking of selling your Southwest Missouri property, this is a must read ---

Via Jessica Wynn Horton (Jessica Horton & Assoc.):

This is going to be very short and sweet:

I realize the handsome (pretty) faces on television say, "It's ugly out there" and nobody is buying.

I realize the serious-sounding voices thundering from the radio say, "You want to sell your home...hahahaaa. Yeah right!"

I realize the papers are printing anything to keep their subscriptions from falling faster than the number of new building permits.

I realize that some agents say, "Buyers hold all the cards" and you can do as you please, when you please - if you please.

Well, I'm here to tell you that just isn't so.

Yes, the market isn't as strong as it was a few years ago.

Yes, there are lots of homes on the market.

Yes, many homes are sitting on the market longer.

Yes, sellers are wanting to get them sold, but you AREN'T holding all the cards.

Why aren't you holding all the cards?

There are a lot more buyers stepping up to the table and ready to ante up. Call volume is up. Way up! My inbox is about to explode.

Buyers recognize a good and fair price when they see it and they are moving "all in" while you're still trying to figure out how much you can take the seller for. Yes, it's your right to negotiate and get the best deal, but the "good ones" are getting lots of activity and will be the first to go.

When you snooze, you loose - even in this market.

Four reasons to list and SELL your Misouri property NOW

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:02:07 -0600

Thinking of selling your Southwest Missouri property? Wait no more - do it now!

This week I've spent a great deal of time talking to people about the First Time Homebuyer tax credit being offered by the Federal government as well as the Tax Advance program being offered by the State of Missouri. There have been a ton of questions and I'm loving every minute of it!

While it's still early in the program, the buying public has taken note and is looking into their buying options.

Here are four reasons I believe now is a great time to list your home to SELL:

1. New inventory will get noticed! Many properties on the market today have been there for a long, long time. The issue may be price, it may be condition or perhaps even difficulty in showing the home. Agents have seen these properties and have made their judgment call. Buyers have seen these properties on the Internet and have their reservations. A home that has not been on the market recently will get noticed.

2. Local buyers are asking about the 1st time buyer tax credits - The majority of questions we've received this week have come from RENTERS in the area. One or two have made the decision to stay in the area, put down roots and buy a home. A few realize there may never be a better incentive to buy than there is right now.

3. Rates are still historically low - Compared to previous down turns in real estate, interest rates are incredibly low. Buyers can still buy more home for their money due to lower rates. I do believe this time next year we will see higher interest rates.

4. Out of state buyer interest is picking back up - Real estate is selling in areas outside of Missouri. We are again seeing inquiries from around the country; as properties out of state are selling, people are able to come into the state of Missouri and BUY homes, farms and commercial property. This is new money that can be used to buy your home.

And, a bonus: This is a great time to take advantage of the lower interest rates for YOURSELF, especially if you are in need of a larger home or more land.

Home in a Missouri Cave - in need of financing - or will have to be sold

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:16:54 -0600

We have a restaurant in a Cave listed for sale - so I'm not sure why I was shocked to hear about a HOME in a CAVE. This home is also located in Missouri and the family is having trouble finding a bank that will re-finance the property.

More of the story is below... if you know of anyone in the mortgage business, or you yourself are in lending, perhaps you can help this family of five.

Via Tom Wood (Real Estate Auction Systems):

I ran across this fascinating story about a family who turned a cave in Missouri into their home.

They are not able to get bank financing so they are trying to sell it on Ebay. They have received so much exposure that the last time I looked they had over 900,000 views on their online real estate auction and there are still 11 days left.

Evidently they are having technical problems trying to answer questions and approve bidders and Ebay is working on it.

All this attention will surely bring a solution. I'm sure a bank will step in and offer financing or they will be able to sell it for a nice profit.

It's another example of how well the Internet can work for marketing. If you're interested in learning more, here is a link to their blog and forum http://www.Caveland.US

March 1, 2009 - Opening Day trout season - Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon Missouri

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:43:48 -0600

Donkey Basketball in Lebanon MO - supporting After Prom 2009

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 23:06:42 -0600

Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Donkey Basketball.

I know, I know, where have I been?

Putting together a post last week on free or nearly free activities in Lebanon Missouri, I realized Donkey Basketball was coming to Lebanon as a fundraising event. Donkey basketball? You mean real, live donkeys? people ride the donkeys? in the gym?

I had to see this!

I can assure you this was worth more than the $6 ticket price - joining the donkey's were students and business men and women from Lebanon. It was rather fun to see a few of our local bankers out there on the floor, trying to ride a donkey in the middle of a gym.

If you have the opportunity, donkey basketball is an inexpensive way to have a few laughs while raising money for a good cause.

If you're looking for a community fundraiser, this may be the one for you! There are a variety of companies out there, however, here in Lebanon MO they used Circle A Donkey Ball Company at Donkeyball.net

Homecoming Pep Rally in Conway Missouri - 2009

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 22:29:07 -0600

Do you remember the Pep Rally?

It's been a long time since I've given any thought to the Pep Rallys we held in school. I don't remember grade school get togethers. I doubt we had any since my grade school split into at least three different high schools. But, I do remember my high school, Benet Academy, and the Friday pep rally.

I especially remember "We Are the Champions" by Queen pouring into the hallways from the loud speakers. To this day I do not know who allowed such a song to be played in our Catholic prep school hallways, but it is a vivid memory -- one I know I'll ever forget.

So why the trip down memory lane? Ezard Elementary in Conway Missouri held a pep rally this past Friday. Conway is a self contained campus - with all 12 grades on the same grounds. My daughter is in sixth grade and neither one of us remember having another pep rally. If she's had one in the past six years, she doesn't remember and neither do I.

This was Homecoming weekend and to celebrate the power of being a Conway Bear, the elementary school kids dressed in their best spirit wear, with prizes being awarded in each of the classrooms to the child showing the most spirit. Red, white and black hair was the norm on Friday. Hat, shirts, pants and shoes - all a sea of red, white and black. I'm confident every child had a bear or at least a bear print some where on their body!

At the actual rally, the varsity cheerleaders performed, the Sugar Bears danced, the high school girls basketball team stopped in as did the boys basketball team. Both coach's said a few words of wisdom and of course, invited everyone to the game.

Some of these kids may not have understood the power of being part of this Conway Team, but I know they all felt it - and I'm confident they will remember it.

The gym was alive and oh, so very, very loud!

It truly was a great day to be a Conway Bear!

Are you a First Time Homebuyer in South Central Missouri? 10 things to know

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 21:05:30 -0600

If you're a First Time Homebuyer in Missouri - this post is for you!

Recently, there have been so many changes in First Time Homebuyer Tax Credits I know many of you must be confused - I know I have been. Between the political party's taking, the media blabbing and then the actual changes, what we have in force has been difficult to keep track of.

As of today, I think you're safe in following this summary for the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit of 2009:

1. A First Time Homebuyer is defined as someone who has not purchased a primary residence in the last three years.

2. The Federal First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit is now $8,000 or 10% of the value of the home.

3. This tax credit applies to people who purchase homes from the start of 2009 through the end of November 2009.

4. This is a tax credit which means just that -you get a credit.

5. This is not a reduction on tax liability.

6. The tax credit can be used for your tax liability - if you owe $5,000 in taxes, you can offset that with money from your $8,000 tax credit.

7. The credit applies to your principle residence. (house, townhouse, condo)

8. Buyers will have to repay the credit if they sell their home within three years.

9.There are income guidelines! To receive the full credit, first time buyers who are single should have an income of $75,000 or less; couples $150,000 or less.

10. Missouri Tax Credit Loan Program - As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Missouri will assist you with your down payment and closing costs, up to 6% of the purchase price. Missouri is then paid back when you file for your Federal tax credit. There are many more details but this is an amazing opportunity!

Whew! Got all of that??

This may help --

The first I heard of this chart in a post written by Missy Caulk, a fellow Realtor from Ann Arbor, MI. The chart was created by the National Association of Realtors (www.realtor.org) and I think it does a great job of putting "it" all together.

Your South West Missouri Real Estate Voice

By Debbie DiFonzo. The information provided herein is obtained from multiple sources and is deemed accurate but not guaranteed. "February Evenst in Lebanon Missouri - many free!"

A happy reason to sell

Debbie DiFonzo-United Country VIP Realty-Missouri — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:00:15 -0600

I just had to share this with all my South West Missouri friends!

Sharon Simms, a Broker/Realtor in Florida is celebrating a new listing - for more reason than one. The Seller is selling because she is getting married.

Even though real estate seems to be changing daily before our eyes, there are good news stories out there! Not every home on the market is a short sale, a foreclosure or a hardship story. There are marraiges, births, retirements and job promotions too!

Let us help you celebrate! United Country VIP Realty serves Dallas County, as well as Laclede, Webster and Wright Counties in Missouri.

Via Sharon Simms St Pete FL - CRS CIPS CLHMS RSPS (ALVA International, Inc.):

There are so many sad reasons to sell:

Short Sale

Foreclosure

Must Sell!

Distress Sale

that we thought it was important to let people know this is a happy sale - the owner has been very happy in the house and is selling because she's getting married.

Pink Streets Home For Sale

They're getting married! She's selling her home; he's selling his home; they're buying a new home together.

Sometimes homes has vibes - and it's good to know that a home was happy and that there were good times there. Perhaps that means that you'll have god times there as well.

More than one person looking at this home in the three days since it came on the market said, "He must be quite a guy for her to give up this house!" He is. And this means that there's a wonderful home in a great neighborhood available for sale. Hurry, and it can be yours.
