For Buyers 
 
If you or someone you know is planning to buy a home this spring, ListingBook Buyer is a free tool that gives buyers all the latest market activity and new listings in your preferred areas.
 
Of course prior to looking at homes, you will need a preapproval from a reliable, local lender. If you need a referral to one, let me know; I've got several great recommendations!
 
Don't forget: you may qualify for the $8,000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. Check with your CPA to see if you qualify. There are approximately 92 days left to get into contract. Call us and let's get you moving at 310-265-4222!
