We would like to say a big "Thank You" on the Short-Sale of our home. Your professionalism and services were impeccable. From paperwork being turned into our Lender on-time (2-3x), to communication with all parties involved, everything was done very quickly and efficiently on your end. We couldn't have asked for a better person to represent us. The web page you created to keep everyone updated was fantastic and extremely helpful. Thank you again for all you did for us and the sale of our home. You took into consideration our feelings of going through this process and made it less stressful and easier. We will miss the phone calls, emails, and laughter with you, but look forward to having you represent us again when we are able to buy. Best Regards, Mike and Chris Heltzer 06/26/2009

Parts of Queen Creek are now San Tan Valley In the beginning there was Queen Creek, an incorporated city in Maricopa county.  Then as the area around Queen Creek grew and grew, expanding beyond the city limits of Queen Creek, it was still called Queen Creek. At least that is what the postal address would lead you to believe. However, it was really Pinal county, not Queen Creek, but your address would say Queen Creek. Yes, it is confusing.  The Town of Queen Creek has even designated a page on their website to help people understand the difference. Do I live in Queen Creek? Now those living outside of the Queen Creek city limits have an identity. It is San Tan Valley. Of the 23 names available, San Tan Valley received the majority (18%) of the 2,000 votes cast. This will help better iden... 06/24/2009

For the most part, a 620 fico score is now required for FHA, VA and Conventional loans. If a borrower is trying to raise their score to this level, here are some pointers. It is very difficult to erase or change the old, bad, credit history unless it is false. Therefore, they need to focus and creating a positive credit history going forward. Ideally they should have 2 or 3 open, active, on-time lines of credit that report to the credit bureaus (cars, credit cards, student loans). The best and safest way to do this is by opening a secured credit card. You send the creditor money and then you can spend that money with the credit card (like a debit card except that they report to the 3 credit bureaus as a perfectly paid credit card). There are several “no credit check, automatic approval... 04/24/2009

The big news right now is the first time homebuyer $8000 tax credit for purchases between January 1 and December 1, 2009. *One of the lesser known facts about this program is that buyers are allowed to get their $8000 credit without having to wait until next year’s tax return. The IRS is allowing buyers to file an amended 2008 tax return for the sole purpose of getting their $8000 this year (detailed in IR 2009-27). This is great news for the buyer who wants buy a home that needs some remodeling but is using all of their funds for their down payment. A great website for more information on the tax credit is www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com. 03/31/2009
