My New Blog

     Here it is 2 days before thanksgiving and there is much to be thankful about. The family is well and another storm season is almost over without any trouble. Sellers seem to be coming to terms with the reality of the market and buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines are finally making a move.

     Personally I have been recruiting low and moderate income families interested in home ownership to the Volusia County SHIP down payment assistance program. For those that aren't familiar, it is a grant program that gives singles who make up to $40k a grant of $30k toward down payment and closing costs. On a $150k property that would be 20%! As long as you own the home it does not have to be paid back. It's a great deal for the working families who lack the resources to buy without coming up with a huge amount of money.

     For all my peeps out there, have an enjoyable and safe holiday. For the classic and hot rod enthusiasts - see ya at Turkey Run!
