[Sound of power saw cutting] Pam Higgins: Hi, I'm Pam Higgins and I'm a real estate agent. [Saw cutting sound again] I really like what I do,

00:00:06.450 - 00:00:13.710

especially now that so many new homes are being built. [Hammers pounding on wood] I guess the only time I don't like it is when a really great couple wants a house

00:00:13.710 - 00:00:19.380

that they just can't afford because the high down-payment. That used to happen pretty often a couple of years ago,

00:00:19.380 - 00:00:26.940

that things are better now since the government requirements were changed to reduce down payments and increased FHA mortgage limits.

00:00:26.940 - 00:00:34.670

[Power saw cutting] We can thank our Congressman Tom Evans for that. His work in Congress and his legislation has made it a lot easier for families to

00:00:34.670 - 00:00:40.850

buy the homes they want. And his Young Families Act may soon let first-time home buyers save for

00:00:40.850 - 00:00:49.730

their downpayment in a tax-free account. Young home buyers have a lot to thank Tom Evans for. {Hammers pounding again] And as for me, I thank him every day that

00:00:49.730 - 00:00:56.690

I don't have to turn people down when they want to buy a home. [Power saw cutting] That's what they mean when they say Tom Evans is working for you,

00:00:56.690 - 00:01:02.520

for Delaware, and for America. [Construction sounds continue] Male voice: Paid for by the Evans 78 Committee.
