In this issue: VIDEO: Realogy CEO Talks About Jump-Starting the Housing Market Special Announcement Realogy CEO Richard A. Smith was a featured speaker at the prestigious Milken Institute 2009 Global Conference on April 28 as part of a lively panel titled -Jump-Starting the Housing Market.‖ During the hour-long panel discussion, Smith stated that while the Obama administration has focused on the foreclosure issue, the solution to the problem is on the demand side. Smith demonstrated Realogy's thought leadership by explaining how the government could take stronger action by lowering mortgage interest and expanding tax credits from first-time buyers to all homebuyers.

I have to tell you about one of the most invigorating, exciting, thrilling, and let's not forget SCARIEST things I have ever done! This last weekend I signed up for a class to learn to ride a motorcycle. This may not seem like anything out of the ordinary but if you knew me personally you wouldn't believe your eyes or ears unless of course, you saw it personally. Today, is Monday morning and I still can't believe it myself.I have always been a passenger on motorcycles when I was younger and when I was a teenager but I was always happy being the passenger and just too scared to learn how to ride for myself. I finally decided I wanted to learn to do one thing that was a "hard" thing for me to do, and to choose just one new thing that I would learn how to do by myself. This kind of goes al...

Get an extra $1,800 when you buy a Georgia Home   Like the federal $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers, the State of Georgia is implementing and an additional tax credit for Georgia home buyers. Governor Perdue signed House Bill 261 creating a Georgia income tax credit up for the purchase of an eligible single-family residence. It is a credit of 1.2% of the purchase price, up to $1,800, spread out over 3 years. Although the bill was signed the credit is limited to eligible purchases made between June 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009. The credit created by House Bill 261 can be claimed one time per taxpayer and is completely independent of the federal first time homebuyer tax credit. The final version of the bill contains the GAR amendment to clarify condominiums and residences occ...
