First-Time Buyer Tax Credit

mgriffin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:17:26 +0000

It’s been in the news, talked about, and discussed, but this flyer gives a great summary of what 2009 buyers can expect!

First, this credit does not follow the calendar year! It expires December 1, 2009 and is a reduction to your tax liability, not a check sent to you because you purchased a home.

There are also income caps. If you are single, the cap is $75,000 and joint filers it is $150,000, and you need to stay in the home for three years. Unlike 2008, this is a true tax credit, and does not have to be repaid as long as the three year requirement is met.

Take a moment to download this PDF and feel free to call me with your questions!

Santa Visits RE/MAX Allegiance!

mgriffin — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:21:24 +0000

On Saturday, I hosted a “Photos With Santa” event for my customers…. the turnout was great, the kids enjoyed seeing Santa, and everybody enjoyed seeing the magic of Christmas in the eyes of the little ones.

Here’s a pic of me and Santa, and my seven year old son, Kevin enjoying his visit. It’s not only a pleasure, but it’s my honor to serve the real estate needs of Northern Virginia, and hosting Santa was just another way for me to show my appreciation to my customers for their loyalty and support.

Shocking News…….. I haven’t Blogged in Months!!!

mgriffin — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:47:55 +0000

OK, I confess… I haven’t blogged in quite some time. But stay tuned!! I’m turning over a new leaf.

One theme I’d like to develop with my blog, is if I see an unusual feature to a home, I’d like to point it out! Like the Tabby House in Marathon Florida, our vacation to Hilton Head this summer turned up another uniqe feature to a home. This is the Lighthouse Keeper’s House in Tybee Island, GA. The unusual feature of this home is it’s water system is a cistern water system…. rainwater!! With salt water all around, and in the low country fresh water is a premium.

OK, great…….. I’ve blogged, I’m catching up, honest!! Watch this space, and feel free to post your comments!!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!!

mgriffin — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:19:10 +0000

I recently invited all my former customers to a Washington Nationals game! A good time was had by all! We watched the Nat’s battle the Phillies.

We met at my office and traveled by chartered bus directly to the game. The Nat’s got off to a great start, but their pitching couldn’t hold up to the powerful bats of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The game was my way of saying "thank you" for the referrals and support my customers have given me over they years. It’s been not only my pleasure, but my honor to serve the real estate needs of buyers and sellers in Northern Virginia since 1994.

I’d also like to thank everyone who was able to attend! We all enjoyed seeing the new Nationals Park and the antics of their mascots Screech! and "The Presidents" running the bases… it was a great family event, and I hope to see everybody at the next Client Appreciation Event!

RE/MAX Allegiance at the Komen Race for the Cure

mgriffin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:29:25 +0000

Hats off to My Colleagues Who Raced for the Cure!!

Many of my fellow agents got up very early this morning to help set up, work the support tents, and walk, jog, and run to show our support for breast cancer survivors and loved one’s who may have lost their battle to this awful cancer. RE/MAX contributes pink survivor T-shirts and caps, as well as "In celebration of" and "In memory of" back signs and program banners for every race. At the RE/MAX International convention, RE/MAX breast cancer survivors hold a fund raising fashion show… it’s truly an inspiration.

This year I was a donor, next year I’ll be with ya!!
