Re:      HUD Guidance on Monetizing the Tax Credit; New REALTORÒ Benefits

Dear Fellow REALTOR® ,

I want to take just a few minutes to update you on some important developments on the regulatory front and highlight two excellent new member benefits.

As you know, NAR held our first-ever Real Estate Summit during the Midyear Legislative Meetings in May.  The event was a resounding success.  Please take a few minutes to watch the video and listen to what top government officials and industry experts had to say about the challenges we are facing.

As a direct result of our Summit, we have made progress on two critical issues:  improving the short-sale process and HUD’s efforts to monetize the first-time homebuyer tax credit.  My latest podcast includes updates on both topics.  Please listen and send to your fellow members.

Public Policy wasn’t the only hot news from NAR in May.  We also unveiled two great new member benefits. 

 

First, the REALTORSÒ Federal Credit Union opened its “doors” and already has nearly 1,000 members.  I encourage all REALTORSÒ to join today for low rates on auto loans and very competitive returns on savings.

Second, NAR is now offering REALTORSÒ Core Health Insurance.  This guaranteed-acceptance, limited medical insurance program is being offered at an affordable price for members in most states who are under the age of 65.  Plans start as low as $70 per month and you have the freedom to choose your doctor and hospital.

Again, these are just a few of the ways we continue to work on your behalf.  For updates on all of our efforts on the legislative and regulatory front – and for the latest on the Right Tools, Right Now program – please visit Realtor.org today.

With your help, I have no doubt that we will continue to move forward, “United Toward Tomorrow,” in the months ahead.

Sincerely,  

Charles McMillan Signature
