December 1st the first time homebuyer tax credit is ready to expire.   To close by this date you will need to purchase in the next couple of weeks, contrary to the video, in our market closings take 30-45 days after all terms to a purchase have been agreed upon by the seller and buyer.  It is not too late.  Contact me if you would like to talk more about this free $8,000. 

For questions about the tax credit take a look at www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com.

Barbara Corcoron the matriarch of real estate has spoken the truth again!  I like her style, direct and to the point.  This woman knows what she is talking about, she sold her real estate business in 2001 for 70 million dollars, you go girl!!!
