Q:
Where
do I get information on homes with
historic value?

historic value, contact the National
Trust for Historic Preservation, Washington,
D.C. at (202) 588-6000; nationaltrust.org.
Q:
Where
do I get information on housing market
stats?
A:
Your
HomeJoy Real Estate agent is a good
source for finding out the status
of the local housing market. So is
your statewide association of Realtors,
most of which are continuously compiling
such statistics from local real estate
boards.
For
overall housing statistics, U.S.
Housing Markets (meyersgroup.com)
regularly publishes quarterly reports
on home building and home buying.
Your local builders association
probably gets this report. Finally,
check with the U.S.
Bureau of the Census in Washington,
D.C.; (301) 763-3199; census.gov.
The Chicago Title company also has
published a pamphlet, "Who's
Buying Homes in America." Write
Chicago Title 601 Riverside Ave.,
Jacksonville, FL 32204; (888) 934-3354;
ctic.com.
Q:
How
do I reach the IRS?
A:
To reach the Internal Revenue Service,
call (800) TAX-1040; irs.gov.
Q:
Where
do I get information about finding
a real estate attorney?
A:
To find a real estate attorney,
contact your local bar association,
which may offer local referral services.
You may also ask friends or your HomeJoy
Real Estate agent for their recommendations.
When you have several names, call
each to find out about fees and their
level of experience.
