One More Time for the Homebuyer’s Rhyme
Homebuyers have cause for joy Their taxes reduced, oh boy! If they rhyme their elation In a Tweet celebration Prizes are theirs to enjoy
March 20, 2010 - This can be a great time for American homebuyers. They can earn tax credits and potentially win prizes if they purchase a home before April 30 of this year.
Congress has extended the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 until April 30. The act provides a tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time homebuyers purchasing a principal residence. To celebrate the extension, American Home Shield (AHS), a leader in home service plan protection for homeowners, has launched a new contest in which homebuyers can win up to $4,000 in prizes just by posting a rhyming Twitter message.
AHS’s “Twitterick” contest for 2010 invites qualified homebuyers to submit a rhyme on Twitter. The rhyme should describe your home buying experience and be written in the style of a limerick. Complete rules are available at AHS newly revised website, www.firsthomeexperience.com.
AHS sponsored a Twitterick contest for homebuyers in 2009. The winner was Chris Swanson of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
“The first contest was so much fun, we decided to do it again,” said Nicole Ritchie, communications director for American Home Shield. “The tax credit extension provides another great opportunity for homeowners to express their happiness in a Twitterick.”
For those who may struggle with poetry, American Home Shield offers a second way to win. Simply go online and update your Twitter status with a specific message that is available on the FirstHomeExperience website and you’ll be eligible for a weekly random drawing for a $100 Sears gift card. No purchase is necessary but you must be at least 18 years old to win.
In addition to contest information, homebuyers who go to the website can obtain lots of great information about buying a house, as well as money-saving coupons and special offers.
