NAR Creates New Consumer Guide for Veterans
|
|
|
NAR has shared the next resource in their “Consumer Guide” series, “What Veterans Need to Know About Buying a Home.” This resource covers what NAR is doing to promote access to financing for veterans and highlights the options available to veteran buyers in their homebuying process.
As a reminder, these resources can be given directly to inquiring buyers and are part of NAR’s ongoing campaign to help you bring clarity to the practice changes for consumers and reiterate the value of
working with an agent who is a REALTOR®. This new guide, along with the first three resources in the series, are available for download on facts.realtor, and can be found at the following links:
