Real Estate eNews & Updates
February 2009 |
 |
| Greetings! |
|
The days are getting longer, and I think we are all feeling a bit of spring in the air!
If you haven't yet received your hard-copy Business Directory, I'll be distributing them in my March monthly mailer. There have already been several changes, which are always posted at my Online Business Directory. If you would like to know what those changes are, I'll be updating changes quarterly and posting them on my website. I will also feature the changes in my eNewsletters under the Quick Links tab called Business Directory Updates. If you're a business and you have a change of information, just let me know and we'll get you updated. Last month, I wrote that first-time home buyers who close escrow between April 9, 2008 and June 30, 2009, may qualify for a Homebuyer Tax Credit, and that it would be repayable over 15 years. However, with the new Stimulus Package signed by President Obama, there is even better news: that credit is now $8,000 in effect for closings in 2009, and does not have to be repaid. See the Homebuyer Tax Credit FAQ, and consult your tax advisor for questions.
Don't forget, I help people SELL homes, so if you know someone who needs to sell right now, I am here to list and help get top dollar in this market. It takes strategy on the marketing and pricing to make a home stand out in the buyer pool. Call me for a strategic marketing & pricing plan to get homes SOLD! Read here for Home-Seller's Basics.
I am always looking for ways to bring value to you, above and beyond real estate. If you know of someone else who would appreciate the kind of service I provide, please forward their information to me, and I'll be happy to take good care of them.

| Investors! Are You Looking for REO Property? |
I often attend seminars and training to keep stay updated on the latest, most recent trends in real estate so that I may be of more value to you.
I recently attended an REO Seminar, and learned about a fantastic program call HomePath(TM). Just visit the HomePath website to view FannieMae-Owned Homes anywhere USA, and offers special financing. It almost sounds too good to be true, but it's legitimate because it is inventory owned by FannieMae (they want to move it!). Here are just a few sample program benefits:
- no appraisal
- no mortgage insurance
- 10% down
- eligible to receive up to 6% credit for closing costs from the seller (Fannie Mae)
If you would like to get preapproved for a loan for one of these properties, you must go through a HomePath lender. I recommend Darryl Stolz at Prospect Mortgage at 310-720-2159. He is excellent.
Call me with any questions, or if you find any properties you like. I'll check comps, and we can submit an offer. If the property is out of my service area, I will find you a reliable real estate agent to assist you. |
| In the Mail: "This Tax Season, Keep Your Fair Share." |
 My February Item of Value* was about where to look for tax deductions that could apply to you, and also on protecting yourself from identity theft.
Sneak Peak at next month's Item of Value: "Landscaping 101: Increasing the value of your home by increasing curb appeal."
In addition to helping people sell and buy real estate, I am also here to serve you "above and beyond real estate". I'm always on the look-out for ways to help you and your family. If you know anyone else who would like the level of service I provide, please let me know.
*If you live [or know people] in the LA/South Bay and would like to receive my monthly Items of Value in the mail, please contact me with your mailing address or sign up for my Client Appreciation Program here. | |
