Top Five Things About the 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program Realtors Should Know

For most first-time home buyers, buying their first home can be a challenge. The current economic climate and slump in the Real Estate market can make it even more confounding for buyers to decide when it may be a good time to buy.

Most Real Estate experts, however, believe this is an excellent time for first-time buyers to enter the market. Besides lower prices and attractive mortgage rates, first-time buyers can now take advantage of the first-time home buyer credit program under both the 2009 Federal First-Time Home Buyer Credit Program and the recently announced New York State tax credit called the New York State Mortgage Credit Certificate.

Deborah Rule (Formerly of Prudential Douglas Elliman) is proof of the success a Charles Rutenberg Agent can achieve!

"I love being at Charles Rutenberg Realty! I just closed my first deal and it was great getting the whole commission. I would have had to close two deals at the other Broker to earn the check I just received. I was paid in three days instead of having to wait one to two weeks. I think back to all the commissions I have given away to my previous Broker and it seems unbelievable to me. Why would anyone want to work any other place? The owners are wonderful and they have a friendly, efficient staff. They offer numerous training classes and seminars to help each Agent grow. The sky is the limit here! Thank you, Charles Rutenberg Realty!"
