Hi everyone!

We’re starting a new series to open up the first time home buying experience – blogs from our buyers!!! We figured you would want to hear details from people who just went through the process. WARNING: we are NOT editing or sugar coating any of the down and dirty, read at your own risk 🙂

One of our favorite buyers last year, Kimberly, had good news to share a about her experience and the first time buyer credit. She writes:

Deciding to buy my first home after steadfastly saving for nearly 2 years was the best decision I have ever made and wanted to share that thanks to Obama Bucks I am getting over $7,000 back from my taxes this year!! I only owned my condo for 2 months in 2009 and had started claiming 4 once I was in escrow however my tax guy told me I could still stay at 4 and next year get nearly $2000 back! I wake up every day so excited to own these walls and not have a landlord anymore! I hope this feeling of pride and achievement never leaves, I’m on cloud 9! I’ll add some tips for new comers very soon!

Thanks, Kimberly! We agree the tax benefits to owning a home are very nice indeed 🙂
