Thursday, March 17th, 2011

$2500 for Teachers

SUWANEE – Touchstone Homes continues to show its appreciation into 2011 for the everyday heroes that contribute to our communities by expanding its Community Leader Program.  Firefighters, police officers, EMTs, teachers, active/retired military, and public servants are eligible to receive $2,500 off the list price of any inventory home. But now, not only do these community leaders reap the benefits offered by Touchstone Homes, we have expanded the program to include Family Members as well.  If a Community Leader refers a family member to a Touchstone Community, they will receive a $500 referral bonus when their family member closes on their new home!

Police & Fire Discount

“We want to show our gratitude to the men and women in our communities that are out there everyday making a difference,” said Mike Zambri, Sales Manager of Touchstone Homes. “These Community Leaders and their families sacrifice everyday to help and defend others and Touchstone Homes wants to reward them for their actions.”

Military personnel are also being recognized and have the opportunity to benefit as first time or repeat homebuyers with the extension of the Military Tax Credit.  Those who served on official duty outside of the United States for 90 days or more are eligible for an extended homebuyer tax credit provided contract is written prior to April 30, 2011 and home must close by September 30, 2011.  In order to qualify, you must be a member of the uniformed services of the United States military, a member of the Foreign Service of the United States or an employee of the intelligence community.  Visit www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com/service_mem.php for additional information or consult your tax advisor for details.
