Andrea Tlumacki was one of the people not afraid to take the plunge... and she has been rewarded for it! With the deadline of the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit approaching - it is urgent to develop a plan of execution. Most people are focused on the restriction of closing before the expiration of Nov. 30th. Fair enough... but many are not building a time line in order to establish milestones that one needs to meet if they desire to witness the delivery of an $8000 Treasury check. This is done by finding the advice of both a rock-solid Realtor and a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist.

Andrea Tlumacki did. Expert real estate advice - proved priceless. Not only was she able to nail down a low mortgage rate of 4.500%, but received unparalleled direction by utilizing "top-agent" experience to get a purchase price that would make an investor envious. In her interview with Andrea, Tracy Jacim states, "time is running out," and the time to delay is over. Many of us are familiar with Student Syndrome - but the need to:

• get approved for a mortgage,
• identify a dream home, and
• go-under-contract

...has a time line of about a week. Sure, things can be closed a somewhat faster in the proper circumstances, but as volume elevates in the weeks ahead for lenders, the length of time it takes to actually close will be increase. In other words... it is important to engage in the Orlando Real Estate process quickly if you hope to benefit from the First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit before it expires.
