How can you know if this is for you?

• Are you wondering if you’re able to purchase a home today? Or soon?
• Are you questioning if you’d qualify for a mortgage?
• Do you need help finding your credit score?
• Has it been years (or maybe forever) since you’ve purchased a home?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions this workshop is for you.

All aspects of the home buying process will be discussed. Thanks to HGTV finding the perfect home has become easy, use this home buying workshop to help teach you everything else.

Even if you haven’t started the home buying process receiving this education on the current mortgage process will be a great benefit when you are ready to purchase a home.

So I’ve convinced you, right? The dates are Tuesday, May 5th and Tuesday, May 12th. The time for both is from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Mid State Technical College.

After you go, I’d love to hear your reactions. I’d love an email after the May 12th meeting (plus you can check to make sure I remembered my moms birthday that day).

A new Wisconsin home buyers site, WisconsinHomeBuyer.org, has been launched by the Wisconsin Realtors Association. On the site you’ll be able to find information regarding the first-time $8000 home buyer tax credit that’s available through the end of the year.

If you or someone you know qualifies, this is definitely worth your time reading…

Good news for new homebuyers in Wisconsin. If you can prove a seller purposefully hid a material adverse fact, you can now sue for damages.

You can always perform your due diligence… you carefully go through the home looking for defects, you hire a home inspector to look for defects… but there are times when something still falls through the cracks (sometimes literally). This bill will help if it happens to you…

From WEAU-TV Eau Claire–

Gov. Jim Doyle has signed into law a bill that allows home buyers who believe a seller has lied to sue for fraud to recover damages.

The law change Doyle signed Wednesday reverses a state Supreme Court ruling from last year that said such lawsuits were not allowed.

The proposal sailed through the Legislature with bipartisan support. It was backed by the Wisconsin Realtors Association, a group representing trial lawyers and the state Home Inspectors Association.

Bill sponsor Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Waunakee, said it is difficult to prove fraud, but in cases where it exists home buyers should have that as a remedy.

He says home buyers should have the peace of mind to know that if the seller lied about the condition of a house, there is a remedy.
