Professionally Speaking

Dear Community,

What's In Our New Real Estate Website?

(Part 1) The members of the Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area Association of REALTORS® (PSPAAR) and the PinehurstSouthern Pines Area MLS, Inc (PSPA) are proud to announce the launching of a new and improved real estate website on Tuesday, April 11th. The new website can be reached using the domain names of either www.move2moore.com or www.pinehurstncREALTORS®.com.

So what inside this new website that would be of interest to real estate consumers, first-time homebuyers, relocating homeowners, retirees, business executives, second home buyers, investors, and our members: First a quick overview- The home page provides further access to pages on- Property Search, Find a REALTOR®, Use a REALTOR®, and Find an Affiliate Members, About the Area, Consumer Information, Community Links and About Us. In addition, there is a Search box for access to local real estate information by using key words for a search. Also provided on the home page are short concise real estate informational articles or links to libraried articles. You can define personal widgets from a selection of about 45 different widgets.

Association and MLS members can login using personal passwords. There is also a rotating pictorial of Moore County sites. There is also a quick link to the Open House search. An Association and MLS events calendar can be easily reached from the Home Page.

So now let's talk about the Property Search page. The design theme for the Property Search pages was to allow consumers and clients to access all properties listed by members of the PSPA MLS. The main search criteria are: Residential, Land, Commercial or Open Houses. After selecting the main criteria you can enter

search criteria such as Town/Village/City, Street Name, Type (Single family, condo, horse farms) Square Footage, Number of Bathroom and Bedroom. Probably most important is price range. Easy to use toggle bars and pull downs were used.

Consumers can now obtain a complete listing of all planned open house locations by accessing the Property Search tab. The Open House calendar listing will give you location, open house time, comments about the property. What a great resource for consumers.

Now let's find a REALTOR®. It very easy using the template and pulldowns on the Find a REALTOR® page.

An easy search would be by first and or last name- just type it in. You can also search by Broker Office, REALTOR® Designation, Multi-lingual REALTORS® and Specialties. From this search page you will be provide a complete list of REALTOR® members who fit your criteria.

The member information contains a photo, contact information and the ability to send an email, view that REALTORS® residential, commercial or land listings. All listing information contains complete Google mapping.

Let's see we did a property search, found a REALTOR® and now we need to search for maybe a home inspector, mortgage consultant, local bank or an attorney. So let's go to Find An Affiliate.

This page provides a link by business specialty for the Association's Affiliate members. It provides contact information, office location mapping and other business information.

So I've talked about the important aspects of our new and improved website. So please, take an internet ride on either www.move2moore.com or www.pinehurstncrealtors.com.

Homebuyer Tax Credit is Extended!

Qualified home purchases, subject to a binding sales

contract signed by April 30, 2010, will qualify for the tax credit provided closing occurs prior to July 1, 2010.

LET’S TALK HOME F I N A N C E

Tax Credit Extended For Military Personnel

Although most Americans had to sign a sales contract by the end of April 2010 to claim one of the government’s homebuyer tax credits, qualified military servicemen and women have an additional year to take advantage of these incentives.

The $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers and the $6,500 credit for repeat buyers have been extended for active military personnel as well as members of the Foreign Service and intelli-

gence agencies. Eligible buyers must sign a binding sales contract by April 30, 2011 and close the sale by June 30, 2011. This provision only applies to those who have served on official duty outside the U.S. for at least 90 days between January 1, 2009 and May 1, 2010. However, a person who did not complete the required 90-day tour of duty because of medical reasons may also qualify for the oneyear extension.

In addition, service members

Longleaf

“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”

who must sell their homes because of official extended duty are exempt from the rule requiring repayment of the tax credit if they move within three years.

You can find much more information about the homebuyer tax credits at www.federalhousingtaxcredit.c

om or the Internal Revenue’s web site at www.irs.gov.

For a free consultation to discuss which type of mortgage loan will work best for you, call Victoria Spannaus at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage at (800) 741-7813 or 910-692-6225.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

Professionalism: The Key To Finding A Quality New Home Builder

If you are in the market for a new home, you of course will be looking to buy one constructed by a qualified professional builder. Professionalism is one of those concepts where you know it when you see it, but you may have trouble defining it. There is no single definition, but there are certain principles that a building professional will practice.

Building professionals exhibit a strong responsibility toward their customers and their community.

Honesty is their guiding business policy, and they believe in dealing fairly with customers, employees, trade contractors and suppliers.

They try to build high standards of health, safety, and efficency into every home.

They are licensed by the NC State General Contractor Licensing Board for any project larger than $30,000 They have and show proof of appropriate liability insurance for your project Maintain a clean well organized job site Provide refferals from past satisfied customers who verify both the builders work quality and their after the sale service and warranty work.

Have long term established relationships with highly skilled and respected trade partners such as electricians, plumbers, drywall installers, painters, etc‌ Another important indicator of professionalism is whether the contractor belongs to a PAGE 12

builders association or other professional groups such as The National Association of Home Builders. Becoming a member in good standing of such groups usually means that a builder is an established member of the community.

Builders associations encourage research to develop materials, new building techniques, new building equipment, and improved methods of home financing so that home buyers receive the greatest possible value for their money.

The quality of a new home will be determined by the skill of the building professional and his trade partners who con-

struct it. You should shop for a builder as carefully as you shop for the features of a home. When you buy a new home, you are not just buying a structure. Along with the structure comes a package of services, and the quality of those services will have an important effect on your enjoyment of the house.

So, don’t to rush the process.

Set a reasonable timetable for your search, and do not make your decision until you feel comfortable about what you are doing. You will be in frequent communication with your builder during the construction

process and after you move into the house, so try to choose a builder with whom you will feel comfortable working.

Buying a new home will be the largest single purchase you will ever make. So make sure that you buy it from a qualified professional builder. For more information on choosing a builder, contact The Moore County Home Builders Associaiont at www.mchba.com or visit www.nahb.org/forconsumers.
