Just two quick updates!

GREAT NEWS FOR HOME BUYERS AND HOME SELLERS!!:

The Tax Credit Has Been Extended and Expanded-NO LONGER FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS ONLY!

What the past first-time buyer credit did was significantly positively impact the entry-level end of the real estate market.  By expanding it, we're going to see some move-up buyers take action since there is now an up to 6500. credit for qualified buyers that are not first time buyers, too.

We hope this helps the move up and middle market as well.  If you need details or help with this, please give me a call at 847-516-6760.

The expiration date for the new home buyers tax credit was extended to April 30, 2010. Home buyers wishing to take advantage of this great incentive to purchase a home must be under contract on their home purchase by the end of April and close by the end of June.  

For more information, visit my website or just give me a call at 847-516-6760:

There are still many people having trouble making their mortgage payments.  If I may help you or someone you know facing this very difficult situation, please contact me so we can confidentially go over some options.
