Press Release... www.Hope-NWA.com "Be The One" Program for Northwest Arkansas... small acts of kindness!

www.Hope-NWA.com, is announcing the launch of "Be The One," a new program giving the Northwest Arkansas community the opportunity to do small things that will offer large amounts of hope to area residents.  The first project for the "Be The One" program is a Mother's Day outreach.   Hope-NWA is partnering with area organizations that serve women facing challenging life issues, women who are homebound or living in a care facility.  By donating one dollar, people in the community can purchase two flowers that will be given to women across Northwest Arkansas in these situations to help brighten their Mother's Day. 

Be the one...

Anyone wanting to participate in the "Be The One" one dollar donation for Mother's Day, can send their money to Hope NWA at 1201 NE McCollum Dr. Bentonville, AR 72712.  Those not able to donate a dollar but still want to help can instead send a homemade card to the same address.

Via Todd Clark (Broker/Sales Coach), GRI (Beaverton, Oregon Real Estate Expert) (Palazzo Realty Group):

One of the things I tell first time home buyers looking to buy a home in the Beaverton, Oregon, area in 2009, is that if you are still sitting on the fence about buying, then get off that fence because now is the time to buy! One of the biggest reasons is the government is just going to give you money… a sort of reward for having good enough credit and income to be able to purchase that first home.

I still get a lot of, “Todd, I’m thinking of buying my first home and I need some advice, can you help me?” I always will say, “YES!” and then I will sit down with you go over the complete process and get you on our way to home ownership.

Now, I say $8,000, but it could be less. The stimulus package states that any first time home buyer, or person who hasn’t owned in the past three years, can qualify for a tax credit of $8,000 or 10% which ever is less. (I don’t know of too many places in Beaverton, Oregon, that are less than $80,000, there are a few, but very few.)

There are a few other stipulations like you can’t make over $75,000 as a single person or $150,000 as a married couple. But, the good news is even if you don’t owe any more to the government at the end of the year, you will just get a check for $8,000 as a reward for purchasing your first home.


***Writers Side Note***
I don’t agree with this. As it is, they are just throwing money at people that already qualify for a loan and are already going to be getting tax deductions from the mortgage interest they are paying. I have a better way to save the housing industry …Read the full idea here.

But if you are a first time home buyer, it is available. By all means, take it and buy your home today before they do away with it.

A day at Wilson Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas...

Wilson Park is one of Northwest Arkansas' most popular parks. It is Fayetteville's first and oldest Park. Many people love hang out at Wilson Park... have birthday parties, family reunions, walk their dogs or just have a lazy stroll! Yesterday Jerry and I took Madison to Wilson Park for the first time. She loved the castle (felt like a real princess). A unique feature of Wilson Park and the castle is that "Hamstring Creek" flows underneath the castle area as well as the swimming pool to the west boundary of the park. Click here to read more about "the castle or "Point 7" - It was designed by Frank Williams in 1979.

Wilson Park is a beautiful park located in Fayetteville, close to the University of Arkansas campus and Dickson Street. The address is 675 N. Park Avenue (see map below).  In the early 1900's Wilson Park was known as "Trent Pond" and was considered the towns "swimming hole" luckily they have a real swimming pool now! During my college years at the University of Arkansas; many of my sorority sisters would take walks down to Wilson Park. It is such a beautiful place. If you live in Fayetteville - be sure to visit Wilson Park... Make it a day trip...

Real Estate around the Wilson Park area in Fayetteville, AR goes for a premium as one could imagine... Many of the homes sell before they go on the market because many people are looking for homes in this unique area that word of mouth usually sells these homes.
