Officially called the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first time home buyers.  There are 2 important deadlines you need to know.  First, you must be under contract to purchase a qualifying home by April 30, 2010.  The second deadline you need to know is the home purchase must close and fund by June 30, 2010.

This is an exciting opportunity for qualified home buyers in the market to purchase a home.  But you need to get started now, before time runs out.  Before the first deadline of April 30th, you need to first qualify for a loan, determine the style of home you want to purchase, take some time to look for the right home, allow a Realtor professional to negotiate on your behalf with the seller's agent and execute the contract.

Though there is not a lot of time left to accomplish this, our team is prepared to walk you through the steps to make sure you are successful in time to take advantage of this great benefit.
