Perched majestically on a promontory in the heart of Beverly Hills, La Villa Serena sets a new standard of fine living and lavish entertaining. A world of glamour, sophistication and style encompassed in 15,000 sq. ft. of Brand New Mediterranean Opulence. Behind the massive wooden gates one arrives at a large motor court and adjacent car museum. Beyond the wrought iron and glass front door, the panoramic views of the Los Angeles Basin explode. Down a flight of steps, the baronial “Great Room” frames the view with three sets of steel-case French doors. Flanked by two fireplaces and rising 24 feet high, the “Great Room” is destined to become a legendary and iconic space. Designed by Jesse Castaneda and built by LG Development, La Villa Serena is a work of art that will be cherished for generations to come.

Hello and welcome to This Month in Real Estate. Im Jay Papasan.
The First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit has been extended and expanded, and the details can be found in our most recent special edition.
For December, we take a look at the results the incentive had on stimulating home sales since 2008.
According to the IRS, about 1.4 million people have taken advantage of the first time homebuyer tax credit.
Not surprisingly, California ranks number one with the number of people filing a claim for the tax credit, while Alaska and Wyoming are among the states with the fewest number of claims.
But those numbers dont tell the whole story. For more, we go to Bryon Ellington. Bryon?
Bryon: Thanks, Jay.
According to the Internal Revenue Service, every state in the Union has participated in the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
If we look at the results according to the total number of claims, heres how the rankings shake out:
California is number one with more than 160 thousand tax payers taking advantage of the first time home buyer tax credit.
Texas is number two with over 131 thousand.
And Florida is number three with over 105 thousand.
But when we look at the data in terms of per capita claims, or the percentage of folks in each state who took advantage of the tax credit, we get radically different results.
Heres a look at the top three in terms of per capita participation in the tax credit
Nevada is in the number one position with more than 20 thousand claims out of a population of 2.6 million.
Utah is in the number two position with over 17 thousand claims out of a population of 2.7 million.
And Arizona is in the third position with over 38 thousand claims out of a population of 6.5 million.
Whats more, we find Alaska moving from near the bottom of the rankings to number 26 above California! And Wyoming, the least populated state in the U.S., moves to number 16. Thats just a bit behind Texas in terms of per capita tax payer participation.
Back to you, Jay
Jay: Thanks, Bryon. Thats it for This Month in Real Estate. Thank you for joining us.

Live at The Break Room 1999.
Live is a live album by American emo band Sunny Day Real Estate. A set list from the How it Feels to Be Something On tour, it was released in 1999 on Sub Pop. Sunny Day Real Estate was apparently displeased with the outcome of the record. However, their label Sub Pop apparently did not run the record by the band before releasing it to the public. This record is allegedly the reason why Sunny Day Real Estate left Sub Pop for another label.
The core of Sunny Day Real Estate formed in 1992, originally under the name Empty Set. Empty Set consisted of Dan Hoerner (guitar, vocals), Nate Mendel (bass), and William Goldsmith (drums). They released a 7-inch, Flatland Spider, before a tumultuous period of musical chairs and name changes. In that timeframe, Mendel took a break to tour with another band, Hoerner took over the bass, and the group was joined by Jeremy Enigk, a high school friend of Goldsmith. Before long, Enigk ascended as the permanent frontman of the band. Where Hoerner’s vocal style had been in the rougher, hardcore vein, Enigk’s higher-pitched, somewhat strained vocal style added greater emotional depth to the band’s songs. When Mendel returned, the complete band settled on the name Sunny Day Real Estate. They released another 7-inch, Thief, Steal Me a Peach in 1993.

How does a person decide to become a real estate developer?
There are as many paths to the decision, in all likelihood, as there are real estate developers.

All commissions are negoitable and some brokers may have a menu of services, that could include an hourly rate, this may also be true with a real estate attorney.
Remember what you are paying for is a level of service and in the end results.
I would personally interview multiple brokers and ask the tough questions,
1. How long have you been in business.
2. I would like to see a list of your personal solds in the past year? in my neighborhood?.
3. Can I see your website?
4. What professional designations to you hold?
5. Give me an multiple examples of your marketing such as realtor.com, local media,
6. Do you promote in an extended area and if you do, give me an example.
7. References from your last 6 Sold’s
What I suspect is the cheapest will be limited in the answers from the above.
Real Estate is much more than placing a sign in front.

Does anyone know how to become an agent or has any adive about the process?
If I wanted to become a nurse then i would go into nursing but I don’t so your answer will not help but thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure this is what I want i am just looking for more information. Right now I think its a good time to take classes and learn about it since it is slow.
Heather, there are several ways in which you can get your real estate license. The State of Illinois gov’t website can direct you to it’s real estate division which should list licensed instructors and/or places where you can take courses. Check your local colleges, many of them offer real estate courses. In our area, it is often advertised when classes will start(there are many people who are licensed instructors who hold classes in places other than college campuses. I took my course at the local high school). You might even contact the Illinois Association of Realtors. The market is pretty yucky right now, but there sure are a lot of foreclosures being listed right now! To begin, you will have to pay for class and to take the state test. On the upside, these expenses are tax deductable, as would be your mileage. Best of luck!
