Greetings from B & A Realtors
Greetings!

    There is no time more fitting to say
Thank You
for your support during the past year
and to wish you and everyone close to you
a very happy, healthy, and
prosperous New Year
  

Carla
 
Senior Homeownership for under $215,000?

Only 4 condo's remaining in The Villages Golf & Country Club for owner-occupied purchases at this price!   Must see and purchase now to receive an IRS tax credit whether you are first-time homebuyer or repeat buyer.
Unheard of prices just a few years ago in The Villages Golf & Country Club.    This is a fantastic buying opportunity in this Resort-Style Active Adult Senior community in the Silver Creek/Evergreen District of San Jose.    Call today for your tour of this "hidden find" in Santa Clara Valley.
New IRS forms to claim extended tax credit!
A new version of Form 5405 needs to be used to claim the first-time home purchaser credit and Qualified repeat buyers credit for all home purchasers after November 6, 2009.      

TIP: If you send in the old version - which happens to be the one you can currently download from the agency's Web site, your request for the credit is likely to go nowhere.   Wait until early 2010 to request your tax credit!

Thank you for becoming a FAN of B&A Realtors.  I welcome you, your family and/or friends to become my new neighbors in this beautiful community.

     Sincerely,
 
             Carla

   I LOVE REFERRALS!
