After serving our our MLS board for a few years, I was elected President this past week. I am very proud to serve that position and I hope this year to bring many new technology products to our board members.
The first convention that I will attend will be the NAR Convention in Washington D.C. this Spring and that is always a great convention for the MLS as that is where we see all the new products to enhance our business.
I lived in McLean, VA in the 60's while my Dad was stationed at the Pentagon so it is always fun to go back and try to fit in a little sightseeing also.
This will be a special trip for me too as my Dad passed away last year and while I was able to attend his Memorial Service I could not go to the burial at Arlington National Cemetery so I will get to visit his site this Spring. I know it will be an emotional time for me but something that I really want to do.
The real estate market in El Paso, TX started off with a bang and hopefully it will continue that way.
I understand that some of the FHA rules are going to be changed and I hope we can put a stop to that as Realtors as that will really hurt the FHA market in El Paso, TX. If they go to 5% as a down payment that will put many El Paso buyers right out of the market.
If you are a Realtor and reading this please send an email to your Congressman or woman and ask them to vote to not change the 3.5% down payment that is already in place. We need to keep the housing market strong and see it that can help to get this economy back on track.
