The first time home buyer program will expire on November 30, 2009 if the Congress does not extend the benefit.
Thus, we are nearing what I would call the crunch time to get a deal done.
That is the message I am sending out to first time home buyers on all of my blogs including Florida Homes for Sale.
Many first time home buyers don't know the ropes. (I wonder if that is why we call them first time home buyers!)
The first step in the process is to get qualified for a mortgage. Many have banking institutions that they say they will contact. Sometimes they do not know anyone or ask for recommendations.
Sometimes I provide lender names and phone numbers.
Most of the time I give the contact information to the lender representative so they can be proactive.
I really get disappointed when the buyer prospect calls me back to say the lender representative did not call them.
If you are a first time home buyer in Brevard County Florida, call me. Lets get started as time is running out on the first time home buyer tax credit program.

I love this, so many first timers don't know when they should start the whole "money" process. That's the key ingredient!!
Heidi - Step one is the most essential and possibly frustrating by the time closing happens. Thanks.
I would love to se everyone who can, take advantage of this windfall! Thanks for stopping by my blog, always nice to see you.
Janna - Thanks. Hope many do take advantage of the benefit.
Gary - I am teaming up with a lender to send a postcard about the time frame targeting apartment complexes to start.
Hi Gary -- time is running out. I just did a post asking AR members to let there congressmen/women know if they should extend the credit .. what say you?
Joan - Yes, extend but wait till the last mention lest people procrastinate further!
