We all have fears... Down to going to the Dentist!

Have you ever found yourself avoiding the doctor or dentist for one reason or another?  Me too.

Recently I found myself with a couple problems that I needed to see the dentist about... Admittedly, I'd just kept putting it off!

I'd actually attempted to go to the dentist recently, but that experience just confirmed my fears.  I chose the place because it was in my hometown and I liked their name.  Seemed like pretty good reasons at the time.  BIG mistake.  After my appointment began, I was out of the chair and on my way out the door less than 5 minutes into the procedure.  This was an experience headed in the wrong direction.

After some time passed and with much hesitation, I picked up the phone and started calling around.  I came upon a warm, friendly and informative voice on the other end that gave me the feeling this was the place to go.  There's really something to be said about establishing trust.  This also ended up being a place that had been referred to me - and in my book, there's nothing better than a quality referral.  This made the whole experience that much more comforting to me, even though I was still not looking forward to going to the dentist

After my long hard search, I chose Dr. Doyal with Pacific Family Dental in Sherwood Oregon.  The overall experience after several appointments has honestly been great.  I'm still nervous when I go, but I get through it and my fear is nothing like it used to be. 

The entire staff there is fantastic.  There are so many of them, like an army of smiles and greetings.  Everyone including the dentists are patient, caring and gentle.  This office is very educated and innovative.  They truly go the extra mile to insure you have an experience worth talking about.  From the dynamic team, the latest in pain-free procedures, technology and tools to iPods and virtual glasses, they have thought of everything and their reputation exudes that. 

So this is my shout out to the Pacific Family Dental Team in Sherwood Oregon.  Thank you for everything, you have no idea how much you've helped me beyond a healthy smile.  You've made the experience worth sharing.

If you happen to live in Sherwood or in the Portland Oregon area or are even visiting the area and need dental assistance, consider this office.  I highly recommend them!

Here's Pacific Family Dental Contact Info.  By the way, they're near completion of their brand new office building just off 99W - It'll be open any day!

Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 - Make it Work for You!

 

 

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

The passage of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 should not only benefit hundreds of thousands of home buyers and sellers, it also marks the beginning of the next real estate cycle. Two of the most significant provisions in this legislation are first-time home-buyer tax credits and permanent increases to FHA loan limits.

In order to qualify for the first-time home-buyer tax credit of 10% of the home purchase price (up to $7,500), buyers must not have owned property within the last three years and must make their purchase between April 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009. The credit phases out for individuals making more than $75,000 or joint filers making more than $150,000 a year. The credit functions much like an interest free loan from the government. It is not a tax deduction and must be paid back in equal installments over 15 years.

The last time the government passed a tax credit for home buyers in the 1970s, 535,000 people took advantage of it, sales of homes increased 10%, and inventory of new homes on the market went from over 10 months to under 6.

Increasing FHA loan limits to as much as $625,000 (varies by area) will help many potential borrowers qualify for affordable mortgages.

 

While there is a good selection of homes in the more affordable price ranges, there is not an overabundance. Homes in the more affordable price ranges will only go up over this next ten-year housing cycle. The ripple effect of increased sales in the more affordable markets will eventually cause a chain reaction of sales up the price points, helping to stabilize the entire housing economy.

If you are interested in learning more about how this new legislation could affect your and your home, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer your questions or put you in touch with a qualified mortgage consultant who can discuss

financing options with you.
