National Assocation of Realtors 2009 Convention

Just back from the National Association of Realtors annual convention in San Diego.
Another excellent event. Lots of dynamic speakers... Hot subjects- no surprise- Social Media and how it fits into the Real Estate business. Generational marketing and how different generation like to receive information, negotiate and interact with Real Estate professional. Lastly the trade show Expo was full or current and useful tools to assist us in better serving our clients. Brought back some great ideas and all pumped up and ready to implement them.

IT PASSED!!!!

It is official... President Obama signed the extension and expansion of the home buyers tax credit to include the following: 1st time buyers tax credit has been extended to July 1, 2010 close date with a contract date of on or before April 30, 2010 with a maximum credit up to $8,000. It also has been expanded to include all home purchasers with the same time line with a credit up to $6,500. Income limits have increased to $125,000 single person and $225,000 married couple. (if you fall into the 125-145k single and 225-245K married you will still be eligible, but will receive less than the full amount).

Keep Posted!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news.......... on tax credit extension/expansion!
The Senate just voted 98-0 to pass the Tax Credit in combination with the Unemployment Bill. It will go to the House next. It appears to be on a fast track with the Democrats. It could get to the President on Friday. Stay tuned!
