Get the Word Out!

We are surprised how many prime candidates know nothing about the first-time home buyer tax credit. In February Congress increased the credit from $7,500 to $8,000 and eliminated the repayment requirements. This credit is available after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. So if you are still on the fence about whether now’s a good time to buy or not take a look and see if you are qualified for the first-time home buyer tax credit! For more information follow the link below.

Here Turkey, Turkey, Turkey..................


     

As Turkey Hunting Season is upon us, we thought we would share a story of one of your clients while out showing a home.


     

A selling client of ours lives on 60 acres and has a ton of wild life.  We had a buying client out to look at the house and the property he seen all the wild life and was very excited, the buyer just had to talk to the seller about all he was seeing.


     

The buyer asked which turkey caller he had the best luck with.  The seller answered that he has had luck with them all, but the best way to get them in was just call them in a friendly voice "Here Turkey, Turkey, Turkey".  The buyer looked doubtful, yet did not want to call the seller a liar, the seller seeing the look said come on I will show you.  The seller walked into his garage and returned with a plastic cup of cracked corn.  The seller started calling "Here Turkey, Turkey, Turkey" and sure enough the turkey's came running to the buyers surprise!  The seller said just feed them every night and they will come running every time!  Did the buyer buy, no, but he now knows how to call turkeys.
