If passed, RPPSI would give REALTORS® the power
to shape this pivotal moment for home ownership

Earlier this month, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) announced the formation of the REALTOR® Party Political Survival Initiative, proposing a dedicated dues increase of $40, which would keep the REALTOR® organization among the most influential advocacy groups in America.

The proposal will be voted on by the NAR Board of Directors at the Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in May.

Because the proposed dues increase is “dedicated” to this initiative, those dollars would be used exclusively to fund political advocacy efforts. If it is approved, over 50 percent of the NAR budget would be devoted to political advocacy, which consistently ranks among members as the No. 1 benefit they receive from NAR.

Two-thirds of the dollars raised would be returned back to state boards that have met their previous year’s RPAC fundraising goals, to be used in support of local candidates, issue campaigns, and other political advocacy efforts.

The leadership of the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® is working with the leadership of our 14 local REALTOR® boards to provide a forum for your comments and concerns, to be heard by your NAR Directors prior to their voting at the May NAR Board of Directors meeting.

Your local, state and national REALTOR® leadership value your comments and want to hear from you.  You may contact your local board to provide comments, or:

Add this to the list of reasons you’ll want to be at the incomparable Omni Mount Washington Resort on Oct. 17-20, for NHAR’s annual Convention: Mike Staver.

Mike, the author of “Do You Know How To Shut Up?”, is this year’s keynote speaker, and will lead two Monday sessions — on leadership and on creating an exceptional customer experience — with his typical, no-nonsense approach.

Just let him tell you, by clicking here.

Mike is one of many reasons you’ll want to attend this year’s unConventional convention.  The most obvious one might be the site itself — the reconfigured and renovated, world class convention center, in the heart of the breathtaking White Mountains.

Need a few more? How about the exceptional educational opportunities, from the practical (NH Core Course, TrueForms and “The Truth About Mold”) to the technological (Video Testimonials, PowerPoint, Outlook and Excel) to the somewhat whimsical (“The Delicate Art of Client Vocabulectomy”).

And how about an entertaining night of pomp and circumstance surrounding the REALTOR® of the Year and Installation ceremonies, and old favorite Club Soda, getting the dance feet moving afterward.

It will all be there, as will an evening specifically designed to celebrate our exhibitors in the all-new Garden Corridor and Presidential Foyer, an RPAC event, and plenty of social media for this new era in real estate, including a “Tweet Up” Tuesday evening and Real Estate Bar Camp “unconference” on Wednesday.

A getaway to the Mount Washington is a great idea in itself. Add Mike Staver and everything else that comes with the 2010 NHAR Convention, and you’ve got something greater than great. Everything you need can be found on the NHAR website here.

So sign up now. You can thank yourself later.

Register for GRI 103 by 5 p.m. tomorrow, and take LMC for freeeeeee!

Click on the button for a sweet deal.

Every once in a while, the stars align. For those looking to bulk up on real estate education, that time is between this very minute and 5 p.m. tomorrow (June 23).

That’s the window during which the first 20 who register for the June 29-30 GRI 103 course will be rewarded with a free registration to either of the upcoming Loss Mitigation Certification sessions (July 21 or Sept. 22) — a savings of $99.

GRI 103 is one of the eight modules necessary to earn one’s Graduate REALTOR® Institute designation and covers the Code of Ethics, REALTOR® professional guidelines, contracts and agency. It is taught by 2010 NHAR President Monika McGillicuddy and NHAR legal hotline attorney Matt Johnson. As an additional benefit, it is the only GRI module that qualifies for the National Association of REALTORS® quadrennial ethics training requirement.

To register online, click here, or by fax click here.

What is the Loss Mitigation Certification? A one-day course that provides information and guidance on the complicated transactions involving foreclosures, short sales, properties at auction or banked owned, and gives attendees useful ways to protect their commissions while assisting buyers, sellers and mortgage companies through the process. It also addresses the human element of these transactions, as consumers potentially face losing their homes.

Those first 20 registered for GRI 103 (including those who have already registered) will be prompted to register for the LMC course, at no charge, when then arrive at NHAR on June 29.

So don’t delay. Be one of the first 20, and take advantage of this sweet deal from NHAR.

NOTE: This credit applies only to the LMC course and may not be used in exchange for any other course offering.
