Have you ever been in a short sale and the bank has approved the short sale and now you can’t get it closed. Welcome to how our banks are servicing the clients. I recently got into a transaction and the bank approved the sale and gave a closing date to close escrow or we would have a per diem per day… that day passed and the bank didn’t close. Another week went by and the bank didn’t close. Meanwhile the buyers loan documents expired and the buyer then had to extend for a cost to them and were still not closed. You try to call the bank and the closer and their lines are full and they don’t return e-mails, very frustrating for everyone! You are at mercy of the bank…I’m recommending that you file a grievance against the bank..and one with Consumer Complaint. I doubt that anything will happen but it will make you feel better.
There is a clean energy and climate bill under negotiation right now. We need to call our Senators and demand the strongest legislation possible. It’s been one of the largest call-in campaigns in the history and we are getting peoples attention. Tonight is the deadline to call your senator! Senator Boxer 202-224-3553..Senator Feinstein 202-224-3841.
When you call in remember to tell the staff member you want your Senators to pass comprehensive clean energy and climate legisation this year!
You want a strong bill that invests in clean energy, creates millions of jobs and sets a limit on harmful carbon pollution from all sectors of our economy.
Every voice matters in this fight to solve the climate crisis and jumpstart a clean energy economy.
You’re probably up to your next by now in forms and paperwork as the April 15th income tax deadline approaches. Maybe you’ve already completed your taxes, paid your bill, or awaiting your refund check. Either way, now is the perfect time to revisit the extended and expanded Home Buyer’s Tax Credit.
Why? Because now, as you calculate your tax bill or refund, you can finally see in real terms just how beneficial a tax credit of up to $8,000 can be to your bottom line.
REMEMBER:
1. You don’t have to pay it back (as long as you stay in your qualified home for at least 36 months).
2. If you qualify for the credit, you can still apply it to this year’s taxes, even if you have already filed your returns, or save it for 2010 tax returns.
3. This is a true tax credit, not a deduction. If you qualify for a full credit, there will be an actual dollar-for-dollar reduction of up to $8,000 on your tax bill now or in 2010.
4. You must be in contract by April 30, 2010 and closing by June 30, 2010, so don’t wait!!!!
