A Christmas Poem

The Move Before Christmas

‘Twas the month before Christmas, when all through the house

No one had room, even the mouse.

The stockings were hung by the stairwell with care

Because mom’s dream fireplace was simply not there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of a larger yard danced in their heads.

And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap

Had just settled down for a restless cat nap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter

Away to the window I flew like a flash

And bumped into furniture with a huge CRASH!

The street light glared off the new-fallen snow

And gave the luster of neon to the objects below

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a free moving truck...I knew a smooth move was near.

An energetic sales team, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment it was Linda Frierdich

With loads of experience her team members came.

And she whistled and shouted and called them by name

Now Whitney and Angi, Naureen, Lindsey and Sam!

“Let’s make this sale another easy grand slam!”

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!

Now paint it, now clean it, now start packing it all!

My house will sell quick as a wink

Soon my wife will have her new kitchen sink!

My kiddos can sleep at easy rest

Knowing that Daddy hired the best!

With tax credits, low interest, and good buys around

Our purchase will be simple

And more space will abound!

The details will be covered and Linda will handle it all.

My wife and I can relax and we’ll all have a ball!

This Holiday Season my family made a great move

And using Linda sure made it smooth!

Tax Credit Update

Greetings!!

Just wanted to keep you updated on the extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit.  It has passed at both the Senate and House (just passed this afternoon) levels and is awaiting President Obama's approval.  The extension actually brings about even more opportunity for buyers!

Here's a quick summary of the most important additions/changes that have been approved by Congress thus far:

*       Tax credit extended for eligible buyers who sign sales contracts by the end of April and close by the end of June.
*       Tax credit of up to $6,500 for buyers who have owned their current homes for at least 5 years.  (this is HUGE!!)
*       Income levels have also been proposed for increase. The new proposal is set to include individuals with incomes up to $125,000 and couples up to $250,000; this is an increase from current tax credit provisions of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples.

Give me a call or send me an email and I'll fill you in with the information I have been provided.  Please call us at 618.719.3134 or via email at lincen21@gmail.com so that we can get started looking for your new home and some free money!!  :-)
