Q: What exactly will the legislation do? A: It will allow those who qualify to cancel their old mortgage loans and replace them with 30-year fixed-rate loans for up to 90 percent of the home's current value. The FHA will insure a total of $300 billion of the loans over a three-year period. But the decision on whether to write such a loan remains up to banks, which would have to be willing to take a loss on the existing loans in exchange for avoiding an often-costly foreclosure.  Q: Who is eligible? A: Eligible borrowers must have spent more than 31 percent of their monthly incomes on their mortgages as of March 1, 2008. The troubled loan must have originated no later than Jan. 1, 2008, and be on the borrower's primary residence. And the borrower's income must be verified.   Q: When does... 08/10/2008

We recently purchased a new home from NV Homes in Maryland.  I have been very impressed with the quality of the product that was delivered.  The home includes many features that contribute to a luxurious feel including crown moulding & chair railing, granite counters, hardwood floors & ceramic tiles, stainless steel appliances, and open floor plans. A major contributor to our positive experience with NV was our sales rep, Marcus Brown.  Whenever a problem arose Marcus was always available to answer any questions and to help guide us through the process.  He always made us feel that our concerns were legitimate and that he would look out for our needs.  Dealing with Marcus has been one of the most pleasurable customer service experiences of my life. Our decision to purchase a new NV home... 07/11/2008

The question is, Do you really need a real estate agent when you're buying a new home?  The answer, an emphatic yes!!!! Last year my husband and I decided we wanted to purchase a new home.  I knew it would be an easy task.  I would just drive into that community I pass all the time, pick out what I want and they would start building. Of course, life is not that simple.  Turns out I didn't like any of the available floor plans in my price range.  I was left trying to figure out where to go next.  A little research turned up dozens of new home communities in Upper Marlboro, MD.  Hours of research and weeks of driving around I finally had it narrowed down to one community.  Still from there I had 7 builders to choose from and countless floor plans.  As I was sitting in my living room with ... 06/09/2008
