ATHENS, TN., - As more real estate sales involve buyers and sellers dealing with properties in foreclosure or already foreclosed on by the bank, many licensed Realtors are looking to ?change their approach' and focus more on short sales in order to help preserve home values and the American dream.

 

Three Realtors in Crye-Leike's Athens, Tennessee office felt compelled to expand their knowledge and take the Short Sales & Foreclosure course offered by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

 

Crye-Leike Athens Realtors Melonie Carideo, Becky Wattenbarger and Cathy Swafford are now armed with their new Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR) certification and are certified to qualify sellers, negotiate with lenders, limit risks and protect buyers.

 

"Getting this certification will definitely help me to be better equipped with the tools and ?know how' to help sellers maneuver and negotiate the complexit...

Deadline nears for incentive

 

By RICHARD CONN/ rconn@c-dh.net

 

Colene Dooley said Thursday may have been "the busiest day in any real estate agent's career in Columbia."

 

Dooley, managing broker and vice-president of Crye-Leike Realtors said there was a rush of folks in her office this week who were looking to take advantage of a federal tax credit of up to $8,000 available to first time homebuyers that expires at midnight Friday.

 

Dooley said one of her Realtors had written two contracts in the last couple of days and was working on another one Thursday to beat the deadline.

 

"There were several of them in Tuesday's sales meeting who were talking how busy they are with just the tax credit thing," Dooley said.

 

The tax credit is available to buyers who haven't owned a home for three years and is valued at 10 percent of t...

Buying a home is a big decision and Angela Weakley wasn't sure she was ready for it.

 

"I wasn't sure if it was really an option with my finances," said Weakley.

 

What changed her mind is the $8,000 she's getting under the Federal Stimulus First Time Home buyers credit.

 

"It's made it possible really because it's gonna help me cover the cost of down payment when I'm reimbursed for it," said Weakley

 

Weakley's decision was more last minute than most.

 

She started looking at homes Sunday and put an offer on a townhouse Wednesday.

 

She had to rush because the tax credit expires at midnight.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- Residents who are in the market to buy a house have only a few days left to take advantage of the $8,000 home tax credit.

 

Jessica Hogue and her husband Todd will be closing on their new home on Friday. The first-time homebuyers started looking for a home about a month ago when they realized they could get $8,000 of free money just for buying a house.

 

"We're right at the deadline. The reason we started looking when we did is to take advantage of the tax credit, and we're very excited, and we'll put the money to great use," said Jessica Hogue.

 

Michael Osborne of Crye-Leike Realtors in Murfreesboro said residents still have time to capitalize on the credit if they're...

The Realtors in Crye-Leike's Hendersonville office recently put business on hold for a few hours and transformed the sales center into a Chapel of Love.

 

Crye-Leike Hendersonville Assistant Office Administrator Diane Simpson married David Curtis a high school classmate from the Maplewood High School class of 1964.

 

The two had not seen each other since graduating high school in 1964 until they met up 45 years later at a monthly Class of 64 dinner and gathering on July 17, 2009.

 

Diane and David had originally opted for a simple wedding at a local county office. When word spread of their intent they were encouraged and inspired to have the ceremony at the Crye-Leike office where Diane has worked for the past six years.

 

It was truly a Crye-Leike Wedding with Hendersonville Realtor and Su...
