			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thinking of buying a home?  <strong>You need an agent</strong> of your own!</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>As your buyer&#8217;s agent, I</strong></span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>come <strong>free</strong> of charge!  That&#8217;s right. . .the seller pays all selling commissions!<br />
 </li>
<li>will know the very day your dream home comes on the market and <strong>can get you in to see any home quickly</strong> &#8211; this is very important if you are looking at short sale or foreclosure &#8220;deals.&#8221;<br />
 </li>
<li><strong>work for YOU</strong> not the seller &#8211; I can&#8217;t stress enough how important this is &#8211; many times buyers go directly to the listing agent thinking they will get a better deal that way.  Rarely is this the case, because the listing agent works only for the seller not the buyer.<br />
 </li>
<li>am best equipped to negotiate with the listing agent a <strong>good deal</strong> wtih terms that benefit you.<br />
 </li>
<li>will make sure that <strong>your interests are protected</strong> when writing a purchase contract.<br />
 </li>
<li>can guide you to lenders who are <strong>honest</strong> and have good rates and loan programs.<br />
 </li>
<li>will remain your <strong>trusted real estate advisor</strong> long after your transaction is complete.<br />
 </li>
<li>am an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) which means I have completed extra criteria and coursework that focuses on providing the <strong>best results for home buyers</strong>. </li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><em></em></span> </p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><em>This is just a short list of the many things I will do for you as your buyer&#8217;s agent.</em>  </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">It is becoming commonplace for Realtors<sup>®</sup> and home buyers to require a good C.L.U.E.<sup>®</sup> report as a contingency to a purchase offer.  The C.L.U.E.<sup>®</sup> Home Seller&#8217;s Disclosure Report is an independent source of information about insurance losses at your home address within the past five years.</p>
<p align="left">If you have not made any homeowner&#8217;s insurance claims for your home in the past 5 years, the report can provide comfort to potential buyers and you may want to order one up front when you list your home for sale.  Also, the fewer claims made against a particular property, the lower the buyer&#8217;s homeowner&#8217;s insurance will be.</p>
<p align="left">Information that a home seller may wish to keep private (e.g. Name, Social Security Number and Date of Birth) are not displayed on the report.</p>
<p align="left">You can order your C.L.U.E.<sup>®</sup> report online for your primary address or by mail for other properties you own.  Cost is $19.50 &#8211; NOTE: buyers and real estate agents are not allowed to order a report for any property that they do not own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Homebuyer Credit Gets New Life </strong></p>
<p>Key lawmakers in the Senate have <strong>tentatively</strong> agreed to extend the existing $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers and also offer a new $6,500 credit for existing homeowners who have lived in their current residence for a consecutive five-year period in the past eight years.</p>
<p>Home buyers must be under contract by April 30, 2010, and close before July 1. House Democrats have expressed concern about the cost of the tax credit for the government, and allegations of abuse have resulted in an IRS probe of the program.</p>
