Leadership Academy Application deadline: January 7th!

"Leadership Academy was a wonderful leadership developmental opportunity.  From learning public speaking skills, personality  strengths and weaknesses, and team building, the time spent working with a small group of professional fellow Realtors was invaluable."  ~ Jane Dodd, Intracoastal Realty

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Effective January 1,
Standard of Practice 12-5 will change. REALTORSŪ will be required to identify the name of the firm in advertising. Since this ethical requirement does not conflict with NCREC Rules, every REALTORŪ must comply to avoid an ethical violation.
 
REALTORSŪ shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise real estate services or listing property in any medium (e.g., electronically, print, radio, television, etc.) without disclosing the name of that REALTORŪ's firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner either in the advertisement or in electronic advertising via a link to a display with all required disclosures.

Voice for Real Estate: Eased Condo Rules
The latest Voice for Real Estate news video looks at the three condo rule changes FHA has implemented to make it easier for buyers to get financing. The changes 1) remove second homes from the definition of investment property, so more units can meet the 50 percent owner-occupant threshold, 2) expand allowable insurance for condo associations, and 3) simplify the condo board recertification process.
