Below is clip from an email I sent to a prospect today in an effort to get them moving in a higher gear on their home purchase plans... you may find this useful.
I was speaking with another buyer today and we determined that we really only have about 45-55 days to find a home and get an approval (if it's a short sale - short sales take 30-60 days for approval) to ensure that we can close before the deadline of Dec 1 to lock in the $8000 home buyer tax credit.
Assuming you work 5 days a week, we are left with only 15-24 (non-work) days to find a home. 6 days in August and 9 days in September to find a short sale property. If we find a non-short sale property, we get 9 more days in Oct to work with. Closings typically take 30 days to complete, after all approvals and contracts are in place.
I won't bother you again with this, but I wanted you to benefit from the exercise I did earlier today with my other customer. We found it to be quite eye opening.
Feel free to modify and good selling!
Regards,
Phillip E. Jones, Broker/Owner
