 NAR is Going to Bat for Small Business & Independent Contractors, Among Others 

 

REALTOR® LOGOThe unemployment numbers are increasing daily and with more states shutting down, the self-employed small business owners are facing a bit of a struggle to earn a living.

 

With 1.4 million REALTORS® across the country, Vince Malta, President NAR, reached out to Congress & the Senate this weekend. He strongly urged relief for small businesses and employers to include direct help for the self-employed workforce. 

 

NAR has urged lawmakers "to recognize the millions of self-employed workers of America that lack the benefits and financial aid offered to traditional W-2 employees." 

 

We appreciate the efforts to protect the small business owners of America who invest everything to support their consumers and their families.

It is at times like this, that the we need no help from anyone voices realize there is a lot of good that a government can do when there is trouble. But, it needs to be set up to do it rather than just handing out money. Right now, we all need to pull together.

I am so grateful to be in a position to get through this but, my heart aches for those small businesses who won't make it through, Grant Schneider. Bless you for helping those who face real threats.

I totally agree, Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 and I'm still trying to figure out how I can help. It seems a bit overwhelming!

Debe Maxwell, CRS just being positive, and helping others not to panic. Be yourself that is probably most important.

Debe it will be interesting to see what the final bill will be that comes out of the Senate.  They are supposed to be close to agreeing on one.

Hi Debe- small businesses don't have the deep pockets that larger companies have. They need help to keep their employees paid and their business going. My friend's daughter owns a children's resale clothing store. There are no high-ticket items in the store so she needs volume. She herself is going online to try to use that technology to market their clothing.
