More often than not, the Realtors' agenda is in tandem with the interests of buyers, sellers and ownerse of real estate. There is, as the group says on its website, "a natural alliance."
The National Association of REALTORS® is helping its members nationwide work directly with consumers - including buyers, sellers, homeowners, and those aspiring to own a home - to cut through all the media noise and understand what is most relevant for each person's individual needs.
Meanwhile, the REALTORS® advocacy at the national, state and local levels ensure that homeownership remains a possibility for more Americans - as buyers who are qualified to purchase a home should be able to do so without additional runaround from lenders, banks, or excessive regulations.
Even as the November 6 Presidential election gets close, it is worth remembering the most important point in the Times' story about who these consumers are:
And make no mistake, homeowners are voters. Some 85% of owners are registered to vote.
And hopefully you are registered to vote as well. If not, then hop to your local post office or library today! If you are a California resident, click here to register. The deadline to register is October 22, or October 30 if you vote by mail. Don't wait - your democracy depends on it.
