Our president and CEO of the real estate company I work for shared a very important e-mail with us a couple of days ago.
It was a Urgent Call to Action for us to get involved! It is not often that we have a chance to influence legislation as he stated. This amendment would have a positive impact on our business and boy do we need that. There is a provision for the Federal Government to buy-down mortgage rates to 4.5% or less for a 30-year fixed rate loan for the purchase of a primary residence.
This would allow thousands of new buyers to be able to afford housing which would boost our economy. He also encourged us to call and voice your support of Amendment #353 to the Economic Stimulus Plan and state why you think a mortgage buy-down will help stimulate housing sales in your community and the impact it will have on the local economy.
I agree with him. We as Realtors can have a positive impact on our economy and help our current and future clients. What a great way to show our support!
All you have to do is look up contact information for your U.S. Senators listed by state with their Washington D.C. office contact information.
Here below is Senator Ensign's information. Provide them with your name and company information including your location, # of sales associates and offices you have and the # of real estate transactions your company had last year. Also state why your in support of Amendment #353. Make sure you leave a message if you get a voice mail.
Just thought I would share because the more realtors that get involved the better impact we can have!
Let's show them our support!
