Reminder: Flood Ins. Call for Action
Encourage members who haven't sent a letter to their member of Congress that time is running out for renewal of federal flood insurance. The program is the main provider of flood insurance and it expires at the end of September. Without it, thousands of transactions a day won't be able to close. Some 22,000 communities across the country have flood zones requiring insurance before lenders can provide financing.  REALTOR® Action Center link.  More in the latest Voice for Real Estate news video

Chris Millis Resigns


WILMINGTON (September 1, 2017) - "I was surprised to hear that Chris Millis resigned from the State House," said Neal Johnson. WECT-TV broke the story mid-day that Millis was resigning from his position as State Representative for Pender and Onslow Counties. Millis is in his third term of office. In his resignation letter, Millis notes that, "It has been my desire to effectively serve and then step away at the proper time. For me and my family, now is that time."  
Johnson continued, "He has been a hard-working public servant, but having children, I understand why he wants to spend more time with his family and we wish him well."

"I've enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Realtors® as we've worked together to both protect and develop the coast," said Millis over the phone with staff discussing his resignation.
