Buying first home? Section to offer help

First-time homebuyers will be turning out in big numbers to take advantage of the federal housing tax credit worth up to $8,000.

To help out our readers, the T-G will publish a "First-Time Homebuyer's Guide" on March 12.

The magazine will help provide readers with all the basics they need to know about the federal program, as well as tips for first-time buyers, how to choose the right real estate agent, obtaining financing and much more.

Other features of the magazine will be a fact sheet on the federal housing tax credit, a first-time home buyers Q&A, a guide to home insurance, choosing the right realtor, coming face to face with the loan officer, surviving your first closing, and many more related topics.

This is also the perfect opportunity for businesses like real estate brokers, furniture and appliance stores, insurance, home decor and others to reach their target audience who are ready to make their first big investment for the future.
