Mayors Announce $41M for First-Time Homebuyer Program!

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman announced that they have $41M to contribute to the "CityLiving Program" for first-time homebuyers. These programs reach a great number of candidates with the income threshold being set relatively high. This is a great opportunity for those looking to purchase property in the city of Minneapolis or St Paul.

This money goes out on a first come, first served basis and it will not last!

New Home Buying Seminar Dates Added

We have added a bunch of Home Buying Seminars for the fall. As always, the seminars will cover the entire home buying process from start to finish. There have been many changes in the buyer process in the past year with an increased amount of foreclosures and "short sales" and the constantly changing loan programs. All of this information will be addressed in the seminar.

We had originally designed this class for first time homebuyers. With so many changes to the market and the buying process in the past couple of years, we recommend everyone that is considering a purchase attend one of these classes as the information is vital for making a good decision in today's market.

Attendees will receive a complete home buying packet and a chance to get a free credit report. The seminar is at no cost and no obligation.

Spread the word - come one, come all!
