National Issues

The Charlotte Regional Realtor® Association works closely with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) on issues affecting Realtors®. NAR gives Realtors® several resources to learn more about issues and to communicate with our elected officials

Calls for Action
Realtors® have strength in numbers. With more than 1 million Realtors® nationwide, NAR uses its Calls for Action to mobilize thousands of Realtors® to communicate with Congress. Sign the pledge to join the Realtor®
Party and support Realtor® Calls for Action.

Realtor® Action Center
The Realtor® Action Center has information about current issues, and provides access to many tools for Realtors® and local associations.

Legislative and Regulatory Issues
NAR has an extensive library of issues important to Realtors®. Go to NAR Research for background information and statuses on issues before our elected officials.

New FTC Rule Requires on Short Sales Disclosures
Realtors® involved in short sales transactions may be affected by rules recently issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Although the new Mortgage Assistance Relief Services (MARS) rules are primarily directed at companies that offer loan modification services to consumers, the rules also affect Realtors® working with short sales if the Realtors® negotiate short sale terms with a lender, advertise short sales experience or take up-front fees from short sale sellers. Go to the Summary of the FTC rules or NAR Letters of the Law newsletter.  

Mortgage Interest Deduction
The Charlotte Regional Realtor® Association is closely tracking the latest news on defending the mortgage interest deduction. The most up-to-date information on how proposed legislation would affect Realtors® can be found at http://www.realtor.org/government_affairs/mortgage_interest_deduction/.

NAR Mythbusters
"NAR Mythbusters" is a document that addresses several e-mails that are going around titled 'Homeowner Listen Up" and the "National Real Estate Transfer Tax", both of which are untrue. Go to Mythbusters to learn the truth and provide the correct information to your clients.
