Axiom Financial Sponsors "St. George Home Run Tour" Realtors and Builders Participate to Move Local Economy

 Local mortgage lender Axiom Financial sponsored a tour spotlighting newly completed homes that are eligible for the state’s $4,000 Home Run Grant. Realtors® from Washington County were invited to attend the event, view the homes and learn what programs may be available for consumers hoping to take advantage of the grant and the federal first time home-buyers tax credit before they expire November 30, 2009.

The homes shown range from $129,000 to under just under $385,000. Five local builders, Ence Homes, S & S Homes, Bangerter Homes, Destination Ridge & Millcreek Townhomes participated by showing the beautiful homes they have built, and offering special prizes for tour participants.

Russell Behrmann, St. George Area Chamber of Commerce President offered a great deal of assistance in bringing the tour together. “We appreciate Axiom Financial making the effort to bring this sort of event to our city,” says Berhrmann. He adds, “As everyone feels the pinch of economic changes, this kind of inventive activity refocuses businesses and creates a positive impact on the city.” St. George Chamber members Costco and Ruby Tuesday’s provided water and a catered lunch, respectively, for all tour participants.

“We feel we can help our community build strong relationships between Realtors, builders and consumers by working together,” said Sandy Thompson, Branch Manager of Axiom Financial, St. George, “We value the Chamber here and the service they provide to the community. We want to be an equally valuable mortgage resource for our community by providing knowledge and expertise to our clients and our partners.”

The grants are limited on a first come, first served basis for qualified buyers, so time is of the essence. In combination with the $8000 Federal Government tax credit, qualified home buyers are eligible for up to $12,000 in grants and tax credits. That creates a positive scenario for buyers, builders and Realtors in this challenging economic climate.
