NAR Helps You Navigate the Current Economy

Richard "Dick" Gaylord, President
	Dear Fellow REALTOR®, A number of you have told us that you are having a hard time dealing with the troubled economy and this challenging market and you need our help. Believe me, working in this business every day, I understand. NAR is eager to help you meet the current challenges and keep your businesses going, so we can all thrive once again. We know that you need resources that can help you close transactions, and you need them at little or no cost. And, that's exactly what we have been working on. Today, we are giving you the all-new FHA Toolkit online for FREE to help you get clients the financing they need in a credit-strapped environment. If you are anything like me, it has been years since you have used the FHA Program. I am anxious to learn about the new and improved FHA, and this toolkit covers everything. It is one of the most comprehensive toolkits we have ever produced, and it's available to all REALTORS® right now. Let me know what you think - I am anxious to hear from you! We've also launched a new page on our web site, NAR Helps You Navigate the Current Economy, where you can find dozens of great products and resources, like the FHA Toolkit, for free or at a steep discount. Just go to Realtor.org/NARHelpsYou for links to these great programs and products. We will be adding more resources in the weeks and months ahead, so please check back often: http://www.Realtor.org/NARHelpsYou On the public policy front, we just announced a four-point plan to stimulate home sales, and we have called on Congress to return to Washington, D.C., after the election to enact it. Below is a link to our latest press release: http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2008/fourpoint_housing_stimulus_plan For additional updates in the days ahead, please check: http://www.Realtor.org/creditcrisis. We all know that the challenges in the current market won't go away overnight. You can count on NAR to get you through the tough times, so that we can enjoy a bright future "All Together."
