The leadership of the NY, NJ and PA National Association of Hispanic Professionals (NAHREP) Chapters developed the 2nd Annual NAHREP Conference - New Business Opportunities In Serving the Hispanic Market on January 23 - 24, 2008. The Conference Chairperson, Nelson Ramos of SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. should be congratulated for bringing together an awesome array of speakers and topics to the Delaware Valley.

It was a power packed event with leading industry experts presenting information so desperately needed for the continued success of any real estate professional. For a list of the presenters, go to Conference Brochure 2008

The primary message throughout the conference was Rebuilding Trust in the Real Estate Professional. And NAHREP is taking a major step towards this by having its membership sign off on the Code of Ethic: En Confianza.

Tino Diaz, CEO, Vertex Mortgage Bankers and a member of the NAHREP Speakers Bureau, pounded the importance of developing a lasting trust with our customers, community and profession which means measuring up to a higher standard, as if we were the recipients of the professional real estate services being delivered by us.

En Confianza is a step in the right direction and I invite all real estate professionals to adhere to such a standard so that we don't have another real estate melt down as experienced in the last 5 months (Sept 07 - Jan 08) because we are hoping that with these new rate cuts and stimulus package from DC, we could all begin to do some real estate business.

God bless...
