April 30th, WKRN Interview
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – An $8,000 incentive has lured thousands of first time homebuyers into the real estate market in the Nashville area and across the nation but it ends Friday at Midnight.
Julie Johnson, a real estate agent with Your Move Real Estate, told News 2 the tax credit has kept her “extremely busy.”
“We have been extremely busy, not with just first time homebuyers trying to make the deadline but also with the sellers trying to get their homes on the market to benefit from the purchase of these buyers really rushing for the incentive,” Johnson explained.
The original deadline for the $8,000 new homebuyer tax credit was November 30, 2009 but was extended five months, until April 30.
One new change to the credit deadline is that new homebuyers only have to have a contract written up by the deadline.
As long as there is a binding contract, new home owners have until June 30, 2010 to close.
Johnson said some of her clients cut it pretty close.
“There have been some contracts that have fallen just from odd circumstances so we have had to get back out there and search for their perfect home,” she said.
Tony Fowler is one of her clients who had a contract on a new home fall through and scrambled to find new one.
“The contract is signed and I have given the earnest money,” said Fowler from the door way of his soon-to-be new condo. “We are just ready to move in. My home inspector is here and we are getting it inspected right now.”
Fowler will close on his new home in early May and still qualifies for the $8,000 tax credit.
“I really wanted that,” he said. “If I lost that it is pretty much loosing a free $8,000.”
Joe Repass, a mortgage loan originator with Avenue Bank, told News 2 a lot of people have been scrambling at the last minute to make the deadline.
He cited one woman who lost out on two bids and was writing another offer on Friday. Repass said he expected to work late into the night Friday.

Home Maintenance Tip -
Keep Cool this Summer with Preventative Maintenance
Help your clients keep cool by reminding them to conduct annual maintenance on their air conditioning units before the heat hits this summer!
Here are a few things that most homeowners can do themselves to help maintain their air conditioner:
- Ensure the filter is clean and/or replaced regularly. Disposable filters are inexpensive and should be replaced once per month during periods of high usage.
- Trim back plants so there is at least one foot of clearance around the A/C unit - this will allow proper air flow and prevent motor strain.
- Sand and other debris can get sucked into the condenser coils. To clean the coils, first disconnect the power to the A/C and then use a garden hose to spray the coils.
The best advice you can give your clients is to have an annual maintenance inspection performed by a professional HVAC Technician. Your home warranty company is an excellent resource for qualified referrals. When interviewing Technicians, ensure the following items are included in their service:
- Condenser - Check pressure, oil the motor bearings, tighten all hardware, check current electrical draw, and visually inspect wiring and condenser coils.
- Air Handler/Evaporator - Visually inspect wiring; oil the motor bearings; clean or replace filter; tighten all hardware; inspect condensation drain, pan, pump, and auxiliary pan; clean drain system; ensure that evaporator coils are clean and free of damage.
With proper maintenance, the air conditioner should run smoothly for years. However, should a covered unit fail due to normal wear and usage, your client’s Old Republic Home Protection Plan will repair or replace the covered parts and components!

MIRANDA LAMBERT TO SEPARATE
THE MEN FROM THE BOYS WITH HER
“ROADSIDE BARS & PINK GUITARS TOUR”
Nashville, TN (March 11, 2010) – With her sharp-tongued, no-holds barred attitude, incendiary stage performances, and gun-toting anthems, platinum recording artist Miranda Lambert is a force to be reckoned with — a woman most men would think twice about double-crossing. Her recent number one hit “White Liar” along with hits like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Gunpowder & Lead” and “Kerosene” leave no question that the gal can hold her own. But there’s a new breed of rough & rowdy country artists who think they are man enough to keep up with the 6x ACM nominated star.
Miranda embarks on her “Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars” headlining tour next week and for all but a handful of dates, she’s enlisted some of the hottest male talents in country music - James Otto, David Nail, Randy Houser, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Eric Church, Jake Owen, Wade Bowen, Luke Bryan and Chris Young. Each will join Miranda for select dates through out the tour.
“I like pink guitars and puppies so how scary can I be?” laughs Miranda. “Seriously, it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’ve been on tour with some great male headliners so I thought it’s only natural that I invite some talented guys on my first official headlining tour!”
“We’re excited to join Miranda for a few dates on her upcoming tour,” exlaims Cross Canadian Ragweed’s guitarist Grady Cross. “It’s been about 5 years since we’ve performed with her and we’re proud to be back. Miranda is a great entertainer and its guaranteed to be a good time!”
“Miranda is one of the most talented singer/songwriters out there,” says Chris Young. “I have always loved her music and her live shows, and I’m very excited about being on the road with her.”
“I can’t wait to get out on the road with Miranda,” says an enthusiastic Jake Owen. “She and her band know how to rock and our show is a perfect fit with that. Her fans are always ready to have a good time and we’re ready to show them a party.”
“Miranda has always been one of the most confident women I’ve been around. It seems she always has her head in the game and ready for the next step before she even knows what that might be,” says fellow Texan Wade Bowen. “Her music is original and unique without sticking herself under the radar and with every album release, I find myself anxious to see what she is going to do next. Not many artists have that effect on people anymore!”
“Miranda and I both have a lot of respect for each other musically,” says Eric Church. “I consider her a badass and she considers me one. Put us both together and it should be unsafe at best. Everybody better rest up for this one cause we’re gonna blow it up.”
Miranda’s newest single “The House that Built Me,” a song that showcases her softer, sentimental side, became the #1 most added song this week at over 100 country radio stations. With six 2010 ACM nominations under her belt, a newly celebrated Gold certification of both her first #1 single, “White Liar,” and her critically acclaimed third studio album, Revolution, and her first headlining tour, Miranda Lambert has laid a strong foundation in becoming country music’s next big superstar.
ABOUT MIRANDA LAMBERT:
Platinum and three-time Grammy nominated recording artist Miranda Lambert recently scored six Academy of Country Music nominations, including Album of the Year for Revolution, and both Song and Single of the Year nods for her first #1 hit “White Liar.” Her critically-acclaimed third album, Revolution, debuted at #1 and joins her previous two releases that debuted at the very top of Billboard’s Country Album Charts, making her one of four artists in country music history whose first three albums landed the #1 spot out of the box. Lambert received rare perfect reviews from countless publications including 4 stars from Rolling Stone and USA Today, an ‘A’ from Entertainment Weekly and exuberant praise from SPIN, NY Times, Washington Post and more. Many have claimed Revolution the “Best Album of the Year” in any genre including Houston Chronicle and NPR’s All Things Considered. She won the coveted ACM Album of the Year in 2008 and ACM Best New Female Award in 2007. Her string of nominations include CMA’s Horizon Award (2005, 2006), ACM’s Top Female Vocalist Award (2008, 2009) and Grammys for Best Female Country Vocal Performance (2006, 2007). With this much artillery under her belt, it’s no surprise the fiery Texas bombshell packs a pretty hard punch - her live shows no exception.
ABOUT DAVID NAIL:
Missouri native David Nail’s debut record I’m About To Come Alive was released on MCA Nashville August ‘09 and became the 3rd highest new artist debut on the country charts for the year. Single “Red Light” peaked at #6 and holds the record for the longest charted single in Mediabase history at 42 weeks. The track also just earned an Academy of Country Music Award nomination for “Single of the Year”. Nail wrote five of the eleven tracks for Alive, which boasts many notable names. Lambert lends her vocals to the moody “Strangers On A Train” and both Rascal Flatts lead Gary LeVox (“Summer Job Days”) and Kenny Chesney (“Turning Home”) appear in the songwriting credits. People magazine boasts Nail as “One of Nashville’s Hottest New Stars” and praises the album saying it’s “a rewarding set that showcases his soulful, nuanced vocals” and awarded it three out of four stars. He has also been featured by Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly, Ladies Home Journal and on iTunes, AOL and ESPN 2. He’s performed at Kenny Chesney’s pre-show tailgating parties, opened for Sugarland and on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Nail’s new single is “Turning Home”. Visit www.davidnail.com <http://www.davidnail.com/> to hear it or http://awe.sm/50VWX to purchase it.
ABOUT RANDY HOUSER:
Los Angeles Times wrote that Randy Houser adds “grit to the genre” with his debut album ANYTHING GOES, which has positioned the Mississippi-born, soul-drenched country singer and songwriter to become one of the next big artists to emerge in the genre. Houser, was ranked No. 1 in Country Aircheck’s 2009 Airplay Stats list in the New Artist category and was named one of this year’s New Faces, receiving a great response from both fans and radio programmers with his first single “Anything Goes,” which catapulted into the Top 20 after an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. His most recent hit single, “Boots On,” reached Top 5 on Billboard and Mediabase charts, and spent 2 weeks at #1 on Music Row charts.

Home Maintenance Tip -
Cooktops and RangesCooktops and ranges generally do not require much maintenance, but a little care and prevention can do a lot to prolong the life of your unit. The key to maintaining range or cooktop function is to keep it clean. Wipe up spills as soon as they cool - acids from foods can cause damage, so clean up spills before they have time to react with the cooktop surface. Reflective drip pans should be cleaned regularly to maintain their shine, because shiny surfaces reflect heat back to the pot or pan. Plus keeping drip pans clean lengthens their life. When cleaning around burner elements, ensure the elements are completely cooled, (to be extra safe, unplug the unit before cleaning around burners), and be careful not to shove debris into wiring or gas ports. Choose non-abrasive cleansers to avoid scratching, pitting, discoloration or damage to vulnerable porcelain or ceramic cooktops.
