Home Ownership Matters!

Last week Justine and I attended the Rally to Protect THE AMERICAN DREAM at the foot of the Washington Monument. We were in Washington D.C. for our annual National Association of REALTORS Mid-Year meetings where we visit with our Congressmen and Senators to lobby for legislation beneficial to current and future Home Owners (more about that in a future blog post).

Being an election year, and with our legislators looking for ways to balance the budget, Congress is looking at FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Mortgage Interest Deduction, and other things that could negatively impact the ability of Home Buyers and Sellers to buy and sell real estate. Over our next few blog posts I hope to let you know about some of the issues we addressed with our representatives and why they are important to all of us.
