MORE GREAT NEWS FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS
You've read about the $8000 first-time tax credit.   This is a wonderful opportunity and here's some good news you may not have heard!   Through a THDA program, you can get a second mortgage for down payment and costs NOW and pay it back with the credit. 
You can also choose whether to report the credit on your 2009 return or on the 2008 one by filing amendment.  For details, see the $8000 First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit page.  

Topics above and those at right (don't miss nested links) are from over 40 pages of answers to all your questions about the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee and fun and useful information and links - not just real estate. 

I'm re-organizing the site to increase its appeal to several groups - people wanting to learn about the area, wanting to find homes here, local folks who want easy information about local government, activities, etc., and folks with special needs - downsizing, first-home, investments, in-laws, one-level, etc.   I"ll give you free reverse auction credits for any suggestions I can use.   

IT'S ALL HERE - some samples:  information about Johnson City's  climate, schools, utility #s, fun sites for kids,  driver's license, City Commission meetings, taxes,  Gray Fossil Site, Johnson City Symphony schedule, story-telling, Bristol racetrack, home repair and improvement, buying a home, selling process, finance (estate planning, taxes, school, more), bus schedules, area history, medical reference, TVA (rivers, lakes, fishing), MUCH MORE.

Local MLS is your starting place for homes in the Johnson City area.   See also “Area Homes for Sale” at right for  Realtor.com, and other resources. I do more thorough customized searches for my clients’ needs and keep them informed daily about listings and changes that might interest them.   May I do this for you?
