As we announced here back in October, Thompson’s Realty has expanded to serve the Tucson metro area. Everything is in place and the “doors” are open! “Doors” in the metaphorical sense of course as we’re virtually based and have no “brick & mortar” office space. We don’t need a shiny and expen...

One of the facts of the mortgage business today is that it can sometimes be a hurry-up-and-wait game. When it comes to buying a house, I have seen it more than once lately where the seller’s lender who has to approve the purchase contract (because it is a short sale or a bank owned propert...

There has been a ridiculous amount of material written about the (up to) $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers. I’m guilty as charged (here are links to my 16 previous posts on the 8K tax credit). The current incarnation of the tax credit ends on December 1. You must close on a home by Nov...
