Auburn AL Homebuyers Catch a Break on the Tax Credit Closing Deadline
 Auburn AL, June 30 –After a close brush with the deadline, Congress has passed an extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit for all Auburn AL first-time homebuyers closing deadline, the Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623). This will enable Auburn AL homebuyers who because of one reason or another couldn’t close by June 30 still receive the First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. The extension applies only to transactions that have ratified contracts in place as of April 30, 2010 that have not yet closed. The legislation is designed to create a seamless extension to help all homebuyers across the nation and in Auburn AL. The new closing deadline for eligible transactions is now September 30, 2010. There will be no gap between June 30 and the date the President signs the bill into law. NAR worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to enact this important legislation.
The National Association of Realtors® today commended Congress for timely passage of bill to extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline. They now head to the president for his signature. Extending the tax credit closing deadlines will help provide additional stability to real estate markets across the nation, said NAR.

Rick Coffin Earns NAR Short Sales & Foreclosure Certification
Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR® Expertise in Distressed Sales
 Auburn AL Realtor Earns Short Sale and Forelcosure Designation Rick Coffin, a Realtor who helps both buyers and sellers with foreclosures in Auburn and Opelika Alabama and works at Weichert, Realtors® - Porter Properties has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource certification (SFR).
The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) offers the SFR certification to Realtors® who want to help both Auburn AL buyers and Auburn AL sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.
According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. Realtors® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.
Coffin is an 24 year army veteran actively involved in the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization and is a member of the Government Affairs and Equal Housing committees for the Lee County Association of Realtors® in Auburn AL.
The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales; negotiate with lenders; protect buyers and limit risk; and provides resources to help Realtors® stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves. To earn the SFR certification, Realtors® are required to take one core course and three Webinars.

Home buyer Tax Credit Deadline Approaching Fast for Auburn AL Home Buyers
 The deadline for the tax credit is April 30, 2010. Call today to schedule a tour to see an Auburn AL home for sale. With low interest rates and an abundance of inventory buyers are seeing that now is the time to buy an Auburn Al home. And for those who were previously on the fence, the extended 2009 first-time home buyer tax credit is becoming the incentive they need, allowing buyers to save thousands on a new home this year in Auburn AL. Local Auburn Al Home Company, Weichcert Realtor- Porter Properties is a full service real estate agency ready to meet the needs of those qualified buyers.
“This is a great opportunity to capitalize on the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers who purchase a principal residence in Auburn AL”, says Stacey Salatto, Broker of Weichert Realtor-Porter Properties. “In addition, a $6500 tax credit or grant is available to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. Unlike previous home buyer tax credits, this credit does not have to be repaid, but the deadline is fast approaching, so now would be a good time to purchase.”
For many interested buyers, this tax credit not only provides financial support, but it allows many to realize the dream of Auburn AL home ownership that they may not have qualified for previously.
The details of the credit are similar to the one offered in 2008 and include the following requirements:
- Buyers must be under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by July 1 of this year
- Buyers must ensure that they are qualified first-time buyers under IRS guidelines
- Current home owners purchasing a home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010, who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight.
- Each home buyer’s tax credit is determined by the price of the home and buyer’s income
The success of the tax credit thus far has led to its extension beyond the initial deadline. This is just one of many efforts under way to help people like you achieve the dream of purchasing in Auburn AL homes.
With all the requirements and restrictions for this credit, the key is to work with a real estate professional that knows the local market and specializes in buyer representation - like an agent who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation. Many of the agents in the Weichert Realtors -Porter Properties office has earned this designation and would love to help you find the Auburn home for sale to fit your needs.
To receive a free copy of the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council Homebuyer’s Toolkit, please call the Weichert, Realtors ® - Porter Properties office at 334-887-2070 or visit us on the web for more all Auburn Al Home Information.

Auburn AL Homes Realty Makes a Huge Impact on MLS Home Search
Auburn AL Real Estate Company, Weichert Realtors® - Porter Properties, introduces a new online MLS search feature that allows buyers to find Auburn AL homes for sale through online web 2.0 technologies.
Now Auburn AL homes for sale are easier to navigate with an interactive dynamic map search function creating one source for everything needed to make informed real estate decisions,” company broker Stacey Salatto, said.
“Finally home buyers and sellers can get detailed property information, have the ability to explore the neighborhood, community news and financing options all in the same place. The advanced search function eliminates the need to visit several websites for the information that is critical to making a home buying or selling decision.”
 Auburn AL Homes Neighborhood Search Feature Auburn AL properties are everywhere online, but home seekers have wanted a platform to locate local information in one easy resource. Such resources include the ability to navigate the Opelika AL & Auburn AL neighborhoods, answer questions such as; where is the nearest school, grocery store, hospital, movie theater, bank, or cafe of the desired Auburn homes they are interested in. The new Explore the Neighborhood feature brings all of this and more with maps, therefore providing a valuable experience to buyers & sellers in the Auburn homes for sale process.
We wanted to make finding homes in Opelika Auburn AL as engaging as possible.
Sellers in the Auburn AL Real Estate market have also recognized that placing their homes for sale on this new web 2.0 technology engages buyers and helps sell their homes faster.
With nearly 2,000 Auburn AL Homes on the market, website visitors can narrow searches by Auburn homes, Auburn condos, Auburn town homes, new homes in Auburn, Auburn rental, and commercial properties.
Along with local map neighborhood features, the capability to get directions, compare properties, save to favorites, and staying informed with daily emails alerts so you can be one of the first to know when an Auburn home comes on the market has been a hit with website visitors.
Additional features include getting the most up-to-date Auburn AL real estate statistics, and the ability to discover what Auburn AL homes are selling and for how much. Whether you are looking to buy a home or listing your property, you will be aware of your competition and be capable of familiarizing yourself with what the neighborhood market commands. And of course the Real Estate agents at Weichert, Realtors® - Porter Properties are only a phone call (334-887-2070) away to answer any questions you have about our community.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 87% of home searches begin on the internet. “This number is too large to ignore”, says Stacey Salatto. “We wanted a platform to embrace home buyers and sellers and provide a seamless experience that made searching for a home as effortless as possible. We continue to listen to NAR, our home buyers and sellers, along with providing the systems and tools they need to make the Auburn AL Real Estate process as easy as possible”.
