Serving Those Who Have Served: Working with Military and Veteran Buyers

0 CREDITS

WEBINAR

This webinar is free to RRC Members!

Since the GI Bill was passed in 1944, VA home financing has been one of its pillars, designed not only to promote homeownership in the military and veteran community but also to protect those who qualify. In recent years, the low housing inventory has threatened service members' ability to use VA financing, due to the many misconceptions about the VA home loan product.

With the proposed NAR lawsuit settlement, once again the protections afforded to our military homebuyers are facing a further threat since VA borrowers are prohibited under federal law from compensating their buyer representative. In this webinar, Maura will discuss the common misconceptions around VA financing, how to position your VA-eligible borrower for success, and the changes we need to see in Congress to improve the VA program so that it truly protects VA homebuyers in our new real estate landscape.

More than any other group of homebuyers, VA borrowers are under threat under the NAR proposed lawsuit settlement. We owe it to our military community and the 19+ million veterans in our country to preserve the VA home loan program for their use and benefit but also to make sure that the program changes and improves with the current real estate market and trends. Join us on this webinar for a frank and informative discussion on how YOU can be a part of the solution!
