    How long will a short sale stay on my credit report? How many points on the score will I lose if I declare bankruptcy? How long until I can get a government-insured loan if the bank forecloses on my home?  You've probably heard some variation of these questions from your clients. If you've ever been unsure of how to answer, NAR has created two resources to help:

    REALTOR® RESOURCES YOU CAN USE
    Public Awareness Campaign: What Matters Most
    Free advertising materials from NAR that underscore the value that REALTORS® bring to communities and their clients, and explain that REALTORS® are prepared--to show you options, answer your questions and guide you home. [learn more]

    section and is pleased to offer members an opportunity to write  for the column to showcase their expertise.  Writers will be asked to produce a 300-350 word piece periodically on topics related to homeownership such as preparing for open houses, tips for pricing your home, mortgage lending, staging, renovation financing, budget basics, sprucing up a home's exterior, moving tips, home inspections, etc.

    DAAR is in the process of updating its website at www.dullesarea.com that will enable improved communication with members to accompany an enhanced on-line registration system. With a new community forum for members, improved member resource sections and a streamlined registration system, DAAR's website has been redesigned to better serve DAAR members and consumers looking for real estate information in Loudoun County and beyond.

    As a REALTOR®, you have so many demands on your time.  Between listing appointments, showings, paperwork to complete and advertising to place, how can you effectively keep up with real estate issues of concern that can impact your business and clients?  When you present contracts, the issues discussed at the county government center can cost your clients hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.  Each time your elected officials vote on real estate issues, they either put money into or take money out of your pockets
    Responding to the continued stream of views expressed over the proposed Bay Act regulations, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors (LCBOS) agreed to delay consideration of a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Ordinance proposal until Tuesday, September 21st to allow time to conduct outreach efforts in the community.  The LCBOS began moving forward with the Bay Act regulation proposal in late in 2008.  In response to less-than positive feedback received from the public and Homeowner Associations (HOAs), in particular, at a May public hearing on the issue, the LCBOS will conduct outreach meetings in several communities and with HOAs who were not part of the original stakeholder group on this issue.
