With all attention on the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or more widely known as the Stimulus Package, prospective home buyers may be wondering how this will impact the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit that was created in July 2008.

Gracious readers have seen that I go on and on (and on and on) about staging your home before putting it on the market. I want to recommend a talented home stager, Teresa Meyer of Stage a Star. Teresa has been helping home “list-ers” become successful home sellers since 2005. Teresa’s experience and expertise building didn’t just start in 2005. She received her accreditation and training with the top real estate staging company “Staged Homes” in Concord, CA. She holds an ASP, Accredited Staging Professional, and is a member of IAHSP, International Association of Home Staging Professionals. She also has 10+ years as a real estate investor under her belt, so she knows what it takes to get a home sold. Her Average Days on Market is 36!! You read that right! 36! So tell me, why in the world would we NOT be tapping into her creative genius??! Read more

We have talked with a large number of people that are coming to the area with a new job, but need to sell their home “somewhere else” before they are able to buy locally. I thought it might be helpful to let you know that there are some sources for short term living arrangements. Read more
Things to do in Cincinnati – February
Written by Jennifer Cox on February 2, 2009
Wow! It’s February already! Is it just me, or is time just flying by? It is nice to see that the days are getting longer. Even though we just had a snow and ice event to pause the city for a few days, and a little more snow is in the forecast, spring is on the way. Ok. I know. The groundhogs today all predicted that we won’t have an early spring. What do those furry little guys know anyway? No need to just sit inside and wait for warm days. There’s plenty to do in February!
