EAST ORLANDO HOME BUYERS:
There are still plenty of homes currently listed at or below current market value, and with rates still low, and an $8,000 tax credit for 1st time home buyers, now is a great time to buy in East Orlando. Hopefully Congress will approve an extension on the tax credit to further help our market!

Email me at WaterfordLakes@yahoo.com and lets go over the figures to find you the most home for the least amount of money!

EAST ORLANDO HOME SELLERS:
Although the above numbers look terrific as far as a sign of our market stabilizing, unfortunately, many mortgages are still in default. This will continue to keep your market value low for the next year or two, in my opinion.

However, If you are serious about selling, contact me, Dawn Pratt, Realtor with Keller Williams Advantage II Realty, for a free comparative market analysis of your home. Let me sell your home at a discounted brokerage fee and a listing agreement of 90 days. Just mention that you are a www.EastOrlandoLife.com reader. If you are unsatisfied with my performance, you may cancel our listing agreement at any time- no charge to you whatsoever.

My promise to you is to provide you with personalized service, consistent contact, and to do what it takes to reach our ultimate goal- to get your home sold!
