Tom Fabisak Realty
Professional Education & Awards*
The
Accredited Buyer
Representative, ABR®, designation is the
benchmark of excellence in buyer representation.
This coveted designation is awarded to real
estate practitioners by the Real Estate BUYER'S
AGENT Council (REBAC) of the
National Association of REALTORS® who meet
the specified educational and practical
experience criteria.
An e-PRO is a
REALTOR® who has successfully completed the
e-PRO training program for real estate
professionals. Endorsed by the National
Association of REALTORS®, the e-PRO course
teaches professionals the nuts and bolts of
working with real estate on-line: Web sites,
e-mail, on-line tools, and most of all, what
today's consumer really wants.
Similar to earning the CPA in accounting, the
CBR is a specialty designation in real
estate showing that an agent is serious about
serving clients. Agents with the CBR
designations are in the elite few of the real
estate field. Less than one percent of all
members of the National Association of REALTORS
have earned this designation.
The
Graduate REALTOR® Institute
(GRI) symbol is the mark of a real estate
professional who has made the commitment to
provide a high level of professional services by
securing a strong educational foundation.
REALTORS® with the GRI designation are highly
trained in many areas of real estate to better
serve and protect their clients.
Home or house staging is the vital
process of glamorizing the look of any home by
presenting it in an optimal light to maximize
the selling price. It’s a tool that is all
about turning the house into a marketable home;
the vehicle that transforms a lived in house
into a home that is ready to sell. These are
two completely different things and the subtle
differences translate directly into higher sales
prices.
When Is a Real Estate Agent a REALTOR®?
A real estate agent is a REALTOR® when
he or she becomes a member of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®,
the world's largest professional
association. The term "REALTOR®" is a
registered collective membership mark
that identifies a real estate
professional who is a member of the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and
abides by its strict code of ethics.Click

First-Time
Homebuyer Credit
Expires September 30, 2010
Updated July 6, 2010,
for changes to the deadline for
closing on home purchases.
Legislation enacted in July 2010
extended the closing deadline
from June 30 to Sept. 30, 2010,
for eligible homebuyers.
Legislative changes in November
2009 expanded and extended the
credit and also added
documentation requirements for
claiming the credit. Due to
increased compliance checks by
the IRS, failure to submit
documentation will slow down the
issuance of any applicable
refund.
For Qualifying Purchases in
2010
For qualifying purchases in
2010, you have the option of
claiming the credit on either
your 2009 or 2010 return.
Deadlines
You must meet the required
deadlines to be eligible to
claim the credit. For other
information on eligibility
requirements, see our
questions and answers.
You must have bought
— or entered into a binding
contract to buy — a
principal residence on or
before April 30,
2010.
If you entered into a
binding contract by April
30, 2010, you must close (go
to settlement) on the home
on or before Sept.
30, 2010 (recent
legislation extended
the June 30 deadline
previously in effect).
Filing Requirements
2009 Tax Return
Because of the documentation
requirements for claiming the
credit, taxpayers who claim the
credit on their 2009 tax return
must file a paper — not
electronic — return and attach Form
5405, First-Time Homebuyer
Credit and Repayment of the
Credit (see the
instructions for help with
the form), and a properly
executed copy of a settlement
statement used to complete the
purchase.
Purchasers of
conventional homes should
include a copy of Form
HUD-1, Settlement Statement,
or other settlement
statement, showing all
parties' names, property
address, sales price and
date of purchase.
Purchasers of mobile
homes who are unable to get
a settlement statement
should include a copy of the
executed retail sales
contract showing all
parties' names, property
address, purchase price and
date of purchase.
Purchasers of newly
constructed homes where a
settlement statement is not
available should include a
copy of the certificate of
occupancy showing the
owner’s name, property
address and date of the
certificate.

Seacoast Board of
REALTORS
SEACOAST RESIDENTIAL
SALES VOLUME HITS THREE
YEAR HIGH
PORTSMOUTH—With
the combination of a
normally active spring
market, expiring
homebuyer’s tax credit
and near record low home
mortgage interest rates,
June was apparently the
“perfect real estate
storm” in the nine
sample seacoast towns.
According to the
Seacoast Board of
REALTORS, sales of
single-family homes
reached their highest
totals since June 2007.
Not surprisingly, sales
of homes priced under
$400,000 also reached a
three-year high.
Single-family sales
climbed 28% from May and
21% from June 2009.
Inventory also reached
its highest level since
July 2009.
Condominium
inventory, by contrast,
remained about the same
as it has for the past
three months. Still,
sales climbed a solid
12% from May and that
was enough to rack-up
the best sales total
since August 2007. The
37 units sold was a
thumping 32% improvement
over June 2009.
Interestingly,
higher-end units, priced
from $300 to $600,000
saw their best totals
since August 2008.
“Realtors in the
Seacoast area are very
encouraged by the June
statistics and can only
hope that July will
bring more of the same,”
said Joanna Rousseau,
president of the
Seacoast Board REALTORS.
“The extension of the
deadline on closing
those transactions
taking advantage of the
tax credit will likely
be a huge help."
