Almost everyone selling a home has a For Sale sign (believe it or not, a few do not), and some people also have a Lender’s sign, but how many times have you seen a ‘This Home Qualifies for the $8000 Tax Credit!’ sign. Real estate article after real estate article points out how the tax credit is bringing out the buyers, and any principal residence is eligible. However, buyers are confused and do not know who to trust. Make it easy for them by putting up a simple sign (You can have a sign made for under $20) and providing one of the government documents to anyone who asks. Here’s two good links with information easy to understand: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204672,00.html and http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204671,00.html

Oh, by the way, you should be able to get those buyers inside your home while getting copies of the handouts for them. Make sure to give them a flyer on your home at the same time.
