Home Buyer Tax Credit - RE/MAX Agents Can Explain It

I'm sure you have heard about the tax credit in the news or on TV. It can seem a bit confusing with the changes, but I would love to show you how easy it can be to get into a new home and get your credit before the deadline!

Do you have questions about the income limits?

How much credit do you get?

What are the steps to getting the credit applied?

Ask a RE/MAX agent, like myself and you will get the answers!

  • You have to have a contract by April 30th, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010!! Don't delay!
  • $8,000 to first-time home buyers who buy a home
  • $6,500 to seasoned buyers who have lived in their primary homes for at least 5 consecutive years, if they buy a new home
Watch this short video about it:
and also this video about how RE/MAX has been involved

Meet your Lake Norman Certified Distressed Property Expert - Sandy Aichner

certified distressed property expert

If you are having a financial hardship or are missing your home payments and would like to know your options, please call me! I work the Lake Norman and Charlotte areas!

Did you know that you can avoid foreclosure by simply asking for help? If you meet certain requirements, you can simply get the necessary information to the place it needs to be and possibly save your credit from a serious fall! 

What is a hardship? It could be one of these things:

  1. Mortgage adjustment or payment increase
  2. Loss of your job (Unemployment)
  3. Business failure 
  4. Damage to your property (ie. Natural disaster)
  5. Death of spouse or other family members
  6. Severe illness
  7. Inheritance of property
  8. Divorce or separation
  9. Relocation for employment
  10. Military service
  11. Insurance or tax increase
  12. Reduced wages or income
  13. Credit debt rate increases
  14. Incarceration (yes, jail)

You can avoid FORECLOSURE in at least 9 ways:

  1. Modify your loan (I just recently helped someone accomplish this!)
  2. Forebearance - pay back small payments in a repayment plan
  3. Refinance - new loan (if you are trying to get out of an Adjustable rate mtg to a fixed)
  4. Reinstatement - pay the loan to bring it current 
  5. Rent your home - but you still have to bring the loan current
  6. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure - sign it over to the bank
  7. Bankruptcy - this may stall the foreclosure but doesn't always prevent it
  8. Sell your property 
  9. SHORT SALE - negotiate with the bank to accept a contract for less than you owe
As a certified distressed property expert and short sales & foreclosures expert, I can help you weigh your options and show you the process so that you can decide what will work for you. 

Truths:
  • A short sale has less of a negative impact than a foreclosure on your credit score. 
  • Foreclosures can remain on your credit history for up to 10 years
  • A Foreclosure can hurt someone's employment ( for example if you needed security clearance or when an employer checks your credit or background)

Don't Show Your Home to Strangers Without an Appointment

Via J. Philip Faranda, J. Philip Real Estate Briarcliff Manor NY:

The other day a seller client told me that she showed her home to strangers off the street who knocked on her door and expressed interest in seeing the place without an appointment. She accommodated them. We don't know who they are, or even if they were qualified to buy. She just hoped they might be the ones. I told her to never do this again. Call me a suspicious New Yorker, but the risks outweigh the opportunity when you show you home to strangers with no appointment.  

Prior to scheduling a showing, we verify the credentials of showing agents, their contact information, and their licensure. Nobody gets an appointment without verification. If it is our own buyer, we verify their identity and their financial qualifications. Otherwise, I might as well have a hitchhiker in my car. To not take these measures I expose my firm to severe liability and clients to undue risk. 

What can go wrong by letting strangers into your home without a proper appointment? Plenty.

  • Theft
  • Violence
  • Vandalism
  • "Staking the place out" for future theft
  • Identity theft
That last point is a new one, but once someone can get a bill or some other personal item off your kitchen table you have the seeds of a far bigger problem than a stolen necklace. 

People who can't set up an appointment and insist on dealing directly with the owner of a listed property may not have a screw lose, but they are trying to pursue a fallacious angle, namely that bypassing the agent gives them an advantage. The bottom line is that while they may not hit you over the head, they are almost certainly wasting your time.
