It’s a big year for change!
My son proposed to Katherine (Kitty) last winter and it’s been a whirlwind of wedding plans for 2010. Exciting.. yes! And to add to the excitement they’ve decided to purchase a home.
They don’t want to miss out on that free money that the government is giving away to first time buyers. They feel that they can take that $8,000 and use it to their advantage next year. I heartily agree. My wife Lisa and I had a great time showing them homes and talking to them about real estate… it wasn’t that long ago that Angus would roll his eyes when Mom and Dad drove by houses, now we share in the fun. They found a terrific house that fits all of their needs and will be closing next week.
As a dad in the business, they’ve followed all of my advice happily. (yikes!) It’s a bit nerve wracking because I want this to be a great experience for them… well, I want it to be a great experience for all of my clients..but.. he IS my son! It’s a fine balance between being helpful and being overbearing.
My team has really pulled through for me. Craig Howard the Home Auditor took his time and explained things well, Maureen Lein at Max Mortgage took the time to prepare them properly and Naperville Attorney Tom Alore has stayed on top of the details and made them feel great. I have to say that I really appreciate all of their efforts.
I’m really proud of Angus and Kitty, they set their minds to do something and took all of the steps necessary to make it happen.
Even better… the government is going to pay them $8,000 for it.
About Food – Not Naperville Real Estate
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Well, several years ago I was trying to write about some of my favorite restaurants here. With the popularity of Yelp, a community of other people who like to eat, it seems to make sense to post my restaurant experiences there.
