CAROL BUSHBERG REAL ESTATE CELEBRATES BANNER FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY! |

Advertising Director Mary Heffner,
IT Director Nicole Fedio, Broker &
Owner Carol Bushberg Ithaca, NY : January, 2010 marks the first anniversary of the opening of Carol Bushberg Real Estate in Ithaca, NY. Despite the very tangible challenges of the economic climate, Carol Bushberg Real Estate has gained a solid foothold in the local business community, boasting a highly successful first year. Having accomplished so much already, Ithaca's newest full service real estate brokerage is looking forward to even greater success in 2010.
Since opening for business in January, 2009, Carol Bushberg Real Estate has sold over 30 Ithaca area properties, with a value of over 5.5 million dollars. In one year, her firm has become the 8th largest real estate company, out of 46 member firms of the Ithaca Board of Realtors.
Based on Carol Bushberg's analysis, more than half her firm's sales this past year involved new home owners chasing the benefits of the Federal Government's First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. "This offers proof positive that the Federal Government's stimulus package is having a positive impact on the local economy", Bushberg says. "The great news is that, now, you don't have to be a first-time homebuyer in order to benefit from this Tax Credit program. Eligible buyers who are selling a home that they have occupied for five of the last eight years may now apply for a $6500 tax credit, as well. In order to qualify for this Tax Credit, homebuyers must close on their new homes by June 30, 2010."
Commercial property sales are an area of expertise at Carol Bushberg Real Estate. In addition to the many residential listings closed in 2009, two commercial buildings were also sold. Both buildings provided the buyers with exceptional opportunities for business expansion and development.
The firm's motto is "Sound Advice for Big Decisions." To contact Carol Bushberg Real Estate, please call 607.273.3400, or email carol@carolbushberg.com.
