From NAR: Tax Credit Extension Update

Here are the latest details on the Tax Credit Closing Deadline:   Our best advice to members with questions and concerns is to proceed as if the June 30, 2010 date is binding.   NAR is pursuing all possible options with senior congressional staff to determine what other legislation may be available for passing a June 30 extension.  Each of the possible options face difficult obstacles, but NAR's efforts to clear the way are on going.   The Senate will NOT have any votes today (Friday, June 25) this will push the Tax Credit Extension deadline to the week of June 28, 2010.   Should Congress extend the date, information will be posted on www.realtor.org/government_affairs as soon as it happens.   The final outcome will be posted on www.realtor.org/government_affairs on July 1, 2010.

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.
