NAR to Congress: Ease Up on Mortgage Credit
|
 Credit-worthy borrowers are being denied a chance at home ownership due to "unnecessary regulatory burdens" that are preventing them from qualifying for a mortgage, National Association of REALTORS? leaders testified Thursday before the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. "REALTORS? support strong underwriting standards to protect consumers from the risky lending practices of the past, but we are concerned that the pendulum has swung too far," NAR President Chris Polychron testified. "In some cases, well-intentioned, but over-corrective policies are severely hampering the ability of millions of qualified buyers to purchase a home. I believe, and our members believe, that we have yet to strike the right balance between regulation and opportunity." Read more here. |

Trespassing is entering a listed property in any manner other than by the listing agent's showing instructions. A visible keybox on the door
IS NOT an invitation to enter. You must follow the showing instructions the sellers have given his/her agent.
At listing appointments, sellers are told that only professionals will be entering their homes and that they can rely upon their professionalism. Not honoring showing instructions of a seller is one of the things that give REALTORS? a bad name and makes us look untrustworthy in the eyes of consumers. In addition, entering because there is a keybox visible on the door can put the agent in harms way. Some sellers have pets who don't take kindly to strangers and who put them up when they know the property is being shown for the agents' and buyers' safety. We lost the confidence of one family last week that may never trust REALTORS? again due to the failure to make an appointment when it was clearly indicated in the MLS listing's showing instructions.
