Dear RSAOR Member
Time is running out
on important
housing-related
issues before
Congress. We need
REALTORS®
to contact their
elected
representatives in
Washington, D.C.,
today.
If you do not make
your voice heard,
then who will help
protect our markets
and the consumers
who rely on us to
represent their
needs in addition to
our own? Taking
action is simple and
only takes a few
seconds.
Here is what we need
for you to do:
 Reauthorize
National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP)
to ensure access for
millions of
Americans to
affordable flood
insurance which is
not available in the
private insurance
market. The House
has passed it's
bill. Now we need
you to urge the
Senate to act.
Without
reauthorization, the
National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP)
also will expire on
September 30,
2011. Today, 5.6
million property
owners rely on the
program in 21,000
communities where
flood insurance is
required for
federally related
mortgages. Both
consumers and your
fellow REALTORS®are
counting on your to
help get this bill
passed.
 Tell
Congress to
Reauthorize the
National Flood
Insurance Program
Make
permanent the
current loan limits
for FHA, Freddie Mac
and Fannie Mae to
ensure the
affordability of
mortgage credit for
hundreds of
thousands of
responsible and
credit-worthy
American families.
Just three months
from now the cost of
a mortgage could
rise significantly.
If this happens,
many of your clients
run the risk of
being priced out of
the American Dream
of home
ownership. This
could hold back the
housing recovery.
The new loan
limits show that
more than 669
counties in 42
states and the
territories would be
negatively impacted
by the loan limit
change. To find out
how these projected
loan limits will
impact your market,

Action Center link

Action to Ensure
Your Clients Have
Access to Affordable
Mortgages
Thank you for your
support, your
consideration and
your time. |
