Subject: Midyear Updates, Including My Interview with Realtor(R) Ebby Halliday

 

	Dear Fellow REALTOR®:          We just wrapped up our best-ever Midyear Legislative Meetings in Washington, D.C. Not only did we raise the "Voice for Real Estate" on a number of key political issues, but we also tackled many important business and association issues. I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the hottest news and special highlights on three special member videos: First, by far, the most popular event at this year's meetings was my interview with industry legend, Ebby Halliday, Chairman of the Board of Ebby Halliday REALTORS® in Dallas, Texas. At 97 years old, Ebby is more energetic than most REALTORS® half her age. See how Ebby has outperformed the competition for more than 60 years – in every kind of market. http://www.realtor.org/about_nar/presidents_report/_video/2008_59half Second, the housing market was another hot topic of conversation at the meetings. Everyone wants to know when we are going to see a recovery. Watch this video to see NAR's Chief Economist Lawrence Yun share his insights with 2008 President-Elect Charles McMillan, and visit the Research section of Realtor.org for other commentaries and valuable insights from our expert staff. http://easylink.playstream.com/gvimedia/NAR/NAR_Midyear_Mkt_Update.wvx Finally, many REALTORS® who traveled to Washington, D.C., also wanted to know what REALTOR.com® has been up to lately. In my latest NAR President's Podcast, I asked NAR Chief Executive Officer Dale Stinton to give us a sneak preview of the upgrades that will be available to all REALTORS® this July. Watch the podcast now, and visit www.TourTheNewRealtor.com to see the upgrades for yourself! http://www.realtor.org/about_nar/presidents_report/_video/president_s_podcast_video_may_2008          I want to personally thank the nearly 10,000 REALTORS® who made the trip to Washington, D.C. If you couldn't make it to the Midyear Legislative Meetings, don't worry. Our Annual Conference & Expo in Orlando is shaping up to be more fun and informative than ever. Make plans now to attend this November, and please pass these important videos along to your colleagues.          Remember, there is nothing we can't accomplish when we work "All Together."
