Dear Fellow REALTOR®, By now, we all know about the severe devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. NAR is helping answer the calls for help in two key ways. First, we are contributing $550,000 to charities that will help bring much-needed supplies and care to the people of Haiti. Included in that sum is $100,000 donated by our REALTOR Benefits® Program partner, Lowe’s®, which we have matched at $100,000. From that we will donate $50,000 to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by REALTOR® Patrick Moore, a 2007 Good Neighbor Award winner. Patrick has done great work for several years in Haiti supporting orphans, delivering clean water and providing medical care for more than 3,500 people a year. http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2010/01/donate_haiti We are also contributing $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which is supporting earthquake recovery efforts with immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. For up-to-the-minute information about these efforts, visit NAR’s Haiti relief page on REALTOR.org. Second, I have asked NAR to accept donations from REALTORS® through the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. Please consider giving today. To make a donation, go to www. realtor.org/relief, and complete the contribution form. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
A proposal to create an Auxiliary Membership for home buyers and home sellers was recognized as a “game changing” idea by the National Association of REALTORS®. NAR received more than 200 submissions. Fourteen associations, including the Sacramento Association of REALTORS®, received grants to undertake their chosen projects. Nelson Janes, Sacramento AE, had long thought that Members’ clients, both buyers and sellers, could also benefit directly from the Association’s services. The Auxiliary Membership will be provided through REALTOR® Members and will not available any other way. Upon taking a listing, the seller’s REALTOR® gives a Membership to the seller. Upon entering an agency relationship, the buyer’s REALTOR® gives a Membership to the homebuyer. The Auxiliary Membership includes access to a website with Members-only information on preparing their house for sale, real estate statistics and demographics and new legislation affecting private property rights. Also included is access to affinity programs and discounts developed by the local Association. |
