First Time Home Buyers Seminar: Beat the Deadline For the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit

We are hosting a seminar for first time home buyers in Marin County on February 4  at our Greenbrae office. If you are thinking of buying your first home in Marin County, this may be the best 90 minutes you spend all year.

Our team hosted four of these seminars last year, and we are proud to report that we put NINE buyers into their first home in Marin County last year!

The presentation is geared specifically to first time home buyers, and will cover topics such as:

- An overview of the home buying process, timelines, and a review of current market conditions

- The tax benefits of home ownership, how to qualify for the first time home buyers’ tax credit, including deadlines and income limits.

- How to get the best interest rate and get pre-approved for a loan now

- FHA loans that will allow you to buy a home with as little as 3% down

- Strategies for and advantages and pitfalls of buying foreclosures and short sales

Back by popular demand will be Bill Shine, owner of William Shine Company an accounting firm in San Francisco. Bill advises hundreds of clients on investment in real estate, and owns 23 properties himself. We’ve done numerous workshops with Bill and learn something every time, and we’re sure you will too!

Gina Kemsley of Terra Mortgage will discuss financing options, loan packages, and FHA loans, and how to get the best rates and terms.

Pat and I will discuss search and negotiation strategies.  These filled up quickly last year, and we received lots of great feedback, so we’ve made them even better. If you’re a first time home buyer, this will be a very valuable 90 minutes. And of course, there will be wine, cheese, snacks, and some fun as well.

There are 94 days left to get in to escrow to take advantage of the first time home buyers tax credit.  Get started now and you’ll be ready to pull the trigger when the right home comes along.  Just email to bravasio@fhallen.com for a reservation.
