James Cook answered:
I believe as long as you go into the deal knowing "You get what you pay for " you will be ok. Most Realtors will show whatever properties their buyers would like to see. I will say that properties that offer more normally get more activity. More activity = quicker sale(in most cases). You could possibly save money with good pricing and a good commison in the slower market. - Fri Oct 3 2008, 17:40

How do I find out if my deceased father's house has a lien on it?

James Cook answered:
The best way to find out if your fathers house has a lien is to have a title company run a search on the property. The easiest way to achieve is to have your REALTOR contact his/her title agent. - Mon Sep 15 2008, 20:48

The tax credit is available for first-time home buyers only.
The maximum credit amount is $7,500.
The credit is available for homes purchased on or after April 9, 2008 and before
July 1, 2009.
Single taxpayers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
The tax credit works like an interest-free loan and must be repaid over a 15-year period. - Tue Aug 19 2008, 14:45
