$6000 First time Utah Homebuyers grant!


The pot just keeps getting sweeter! Low interest- lots of homes to pick from- $8000 rebate if you haven't owned a home in 3 years, and now for the residents of Utah a $6000 grant from the state! It doesn't get much better! Take this beautiful rambler on a huge .45 acre lot with the basement completely finished! Already a super bargain at only $229K. Real wood floors throughout! 5 bedroom + a big office, 2 family rooms, 3 baths, auto sprinklers, fenced and even a large shed! This home is located on a private cul-de-sac in Grantsville Utah. Located at 357 Plaza Circle.
You will love the town of Grantsville! It is where we have lived for the last 10 years. It is a small town with all of the city convenience. SLC is only a 30 min drive. Tooele is 15 min away and has all of the big town shopping available. This lovely town of about 8500 has beautiful mountains 7 min. from my front door! A reservoir for fishing and secondary irrigation. We also have the most fantastic 4 wheeling nearby also. My husband Bryan & I love to take the grandkids up a canyon that we can drive right out of the driveway to. We take a few shortcuts going on some back roads and we are right in this beautiful canyon. At the top of the trail is an old abandoned mine. We always stop there for a snack and beautiful vistas. The grandkids love swinging over a little stream on a rope. It makes them feel very adventurous and the pictures give their moms a heart attack. It looks much scarier than it is.
We feel very blessed to live in this oasis of peace and tranquility with wonderful neighbors and friends around us. The only thing that we are missing is all of our kids. I am trying to talk them into the move!
There are some income limits on the grant, but they are quite high and on a sliding scale according to family size. The grant needs to be used for a new home that has never been lived in. We have lots of those out here!

Call the Sherrif, someones about to steal!



It is a buyers market right now as you all KNOW! Foreclosures are everywhere. A great example of this is the pictured gorgeous brick rambler that is a foreclosure steal! It is on the market with a $30K discount for a fast sale! This gorgeous all brick home is in Grantsville, Utah at 167 Harris, MLS # 861782 This beautiful home is just waiting for a new family to enjoy all of the fabulous amenities like organizational closet in the family room! Pellet stove in the Spacious family room. Built in entertainment center! It is within walking distance of all 3 schools!

Two years ago it was hard to find a good buy! Now they are everywhere you look! Put 4.75% interest on top of that and how can a buyer loose? Not to mention the FREE no strings attached government money you will get as a rebate if you are a First time home buyer! You can get up to $8,000. Here is a chart that will help you understand the government rebate program!

Out with the old!


Would you love to have a new home? The first step to having one is getting your current home ready to sell!

It takes longer to sell a home than to buy one. We can get you in a new home in less than 3 weeks! That is not the problem!

The problem is getting your home sold. How do you get it noticed among the 1000's of homes out there! STAGING!

This is a free service that The Solutions Team offers to their clients. We have helped get a home staged and ready to go, and all of a sudden the sellers realized what a jewel their home was, and decided Not to move.

Above is a picture I took of a home that was perfectly staged. The old closet doors were put over an unattractive old corner window to give the room a fresh new look. A few plants, a table cloth over an old table, and a couple of placemats and the room looked inviting!

Most of us have too much stuff! Load it up, haul it out! This one step alone can make your home look more inviting and much more spacious.

Decluttering is one of the best things you can do to get your home sold. It is also one of the best things you can do to make your home more attractive for you.

When you go into a room look at it as though you were seeing it for the first time. What is adding to the feel of clutter? What things do you love? Asking yourself these and other questions can make your home look like a showplace. Call for your free staging! We'll do it for buyers when they move in also, so take advantage of a service that will make you feel at home. Out with the old, in with the new... or the not so new, just different!
