Jim Gillespie, President and CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, appeared on Bloomberg TV this morning as one stop on his Washington, D.C. tour. Jim took this opportunity to while in the Rayburn House Office Building and the Hart Office Building to talk about the number of first time home buyers taking advantage of the $8,000 tax credit and buying the foreclosure and short sales, helping to alleviate our nations over supply of home inventory. He also took this time to speak to:
- Congressman Charley Rangel’s top aide
- Congressman George Radanovich and his aides
- Senator Richard Shelby’s top aides on the US Senate Banking Committee
- Senator Charles Schumer’s top aides
about the many other reasons we are seeing a positive impact from the $8K first time home buyers tax credit and why the nation’s economy 
would benefit from expanding that credit to all buyers of primary residences for a year and increasing it to $15K. He was meet with cautiously optimistic support of this plan. He also made stops on CNBC and Bloomburg News.
A push to our government leaders from all of us, from Presidents of large Real Estate organizations right down to the agents on the streets, would be a great help to get this market back on track. I believe our market has corrected a health amount but this is enough. Lioke Jim I feel we need to get the move up buyer back in the market not just the first time home buyer. We need the buyers back in this market now. Reach out to your Senators and House representatives.
