There are many issues concerning real estate right now that could have a negative impact on home ownership. We are all aware that US government officials are BIG spenders and have a difficult time trying to get their budgets under control. While this may be a near impossible feat for them they are considering cutting certain incentives so valuable to home ownership. One of them is the possibility of reducing or eliminating the mortgage interest deduction. See my previous blog http://actvra.in/j67.
What can you do?
Broker Involvement Program
Are you a broker owner or managing broker? Are you involved with NAR's Broker Involvement Program?
This dynamic program provides you, the broker-owner, with a quick and effective tool to rally your agents on critical legislative issues affecting our industry.
The Broker Involvement Program offers you and your agents:
A voice on Capitol Hill.
The program is an opportunity to bring a strong and united REALTOR® voice to Members of Congress. With over 7,500 broker owners and 350,000 agents in the program, the REALTOR® voice will be heard loud and clear.
An easy-to-manage solution.
Nothing needs to be downloaded and there is no cost to the broker. NAR gives the broker-owner or managing broker access to the Broker Portal.
Proven results.
Your online participation report will show you response rates on Broker Calls for Action are significantly higher. The message is from you, the broker, to your agents. In 2010, nearly 40 percent of all responses on the Broker Calls for Action were from agents in the Broker Involvement Program. Your agents listen to you then take action!
If you haven’t yet joined, I urge you to consider getting involved. Mention it to your Broker if he/she hasn’t yet signed up. We can all make a difference one Realtor®at a time!
