For many of you ladies, this spring could the ideal time to buy your first home. With the $8,000 tax credit being offered until May, now’s the time to cash in on some free money from Uncle Sam AND get into your own new digs. Win win!

So where should you start? First things first, you have to find a shepherd, a counselor, a voice of reason, a source of inspiration, a tour guide and an expert this sort of thing– the right real estate agent for you. And Debbie Barrera just might be that person.

Do you know Debbie? If you’re looking to buy or sell– or even lease a rental– she’s the one. She’s lived in Austin for over 10 years, so she knows the ins and outs of all the ‘hoods, and can even tell you where the best food, drink and music is nearby any house you’re interested in….which is very important. Trust me.

She’s all about first time home buyers to help you find the right place to call home. What’s even cooler is that she’s into all the social media outlets as part of the home buying/selling process– fun stuff like Virtual Tours, You Tube Videos, Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, blogging and vlogging, which not everyone’s doing yet, if you can believe it!

So call Debbie Barrera. Get her to do the hard work for you– trust me, she lives for it! As the ringleader of the Mullets softball team, she’s used to taking action, motivating people, making things happen. And as a REALTOR with the Presidio Group, she does exactly the same.

Check her out at DebbieKnowsAustin.com. You can even meet her in person at bMUSED Music Fest at Sister’s Edge this Saturday and pick up a koozie (you can never have too many, really).
