A Real Estate Company

A decision has been made!

I have decided that I am going to go and work with the Los Altos branch of Coldwell Banker here in the Bay Area.

I visited with several agencies and I decided that this company would be the best fit for me. After my experience with Coldwell Banker Hickok and Boardman Realty, it seemed a little daft to change what is already working for me........

I am still awaiting (with baited breath!) a test date for sitting my examination and I am hoping that I will be up and running in the New Year.

In the meantime, I am enjoying settling in to the company and getting prepared to hit GO!

Have they or haven't they?

There has been so much recent talk about extending the First Time Buyer Tax Credit that even I didn't know who to believe!

It is definite though - there is an extension and some icing on the cake - there has been an incentive created for "Move Up" buyers. So if you have been in your current residence more than 5 years then check out this site for more details......

For all my Silicon Valley friends, there has also been a change to one of the requirements of being a First Time Buyer.....if you are a single taxpayer with an income up to $125,000 and if you are married with an income up to $225,000 you can qualify for the full tax credit. But you have to purchase your home after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010 AND it has to be under $800,000 which is cutting it close in Silicon Valley!

First Time Buyer Credit

A quick chat about the looming deadline for the First Time

Buyer Credit.

Is it too late to get on the boat? $8000 is a lot of money! If you are in Vermont you are probably still able to do so if you have

the right team behind you.

I will put you in touch with all the right people.

Email me at Stella@StellaAbraham.com or call me for a chat on 650.919.3190

Cheers!

I miss being able to open a lockbox!

I miss showing property! It is amazing to me how much I miss showing property and being in the Real Estate world! That is when you know you are in the right job......when you can't stop thinking about doing what you love!

I have been spending the last few weeks studying hard for my California Real Estate license. It seems the process of becoming licensed here is going to take a few months :(

I am currently trying to work out who I am going to work out which company would be best to work for now that I have moved back to the Bay Area. I will keep you updated as to where I lay my hat......

One thing I can say is that you really don't realize how good you have it until it is has gone and that is VERY true. I can not rave enough about Coldwell Banker Hickok and Boardman as a company to work for as well as what service they offer their clients. They really are brilliant.....if you are in Vermont and are thinking of selling or buying a property then let me know.....I have the perfect agent in mind for you!
