Please join your Association and the thousands of REALTORS® and other associations around the country by participating in the first annual…
This is an incredible opportunity for consumers to shop for a new home while:
o Interest rates & home prices are still low
o There are lots of attainable home choices
o Expanded Homebuyer Tax Credit is still available until April 30th
We are asking that you and your offices join this effort to reach out to consumers by holding as many Open Houses as possible on Saturday and Sunday, April 10th & 11th.
Please encourage your buyers to visit and your sellers to participate. Your MLS recommends posting these Open Houses to show up on THEwilmingtonMLS.com’s Open House page. To watch a quick video tutorial on how to do this in Rapattoni, please Click Here.
The REALTOR® Store at your Association office will also be offering some special discounts on items you might need for these Open Houses.
To view these items as well as other valuable resources, key messages and tools to help you prepare for this weekend, please go to: www.wrar.com/nationwideopenhouse
Local Public Awareness TV Campaign
Earlier this week, your Association launched its first pair of TV segments on Time Warner Cable’s Cape Fear NOW (channel 18) and Carolina Homes On Demand (channel 1115 for certain subscribers).
These segments called “Get Your Tax Credit” and “Why Rent? Just Buy!” are designed to educate consumers about the local housing market, the homebuyer tax credit, why now is the time to buy and to contact a REALTOR®.
This campaign kicked-off last month with two commercials that also promote REALTORS® and the extended tax credit. They are currently airing on HGTV, Food Network, Lifetime, LMN, News 14 Carolina, Oxygen, & TLC.
We ask that you help us track the effectiveness of these campaign efforts. Please ask your clients if they’ve seen any of these TV segments or commercials and whether or not they impacted their decision to use a REALTOR® and/or buy or sell their home. Please send these comments and any other feedback to comm@wrar.com.
Thank you in advance for your enthusiasm and participation in the Open House Weekend and I look forward to great results from our Awareness Campaign.
REALTORS® Core Health Insurance
Five Ways NAR is Helping REALTORS® Save:
Do you have coverage? If you have no coverage… these plans are guaranteed acceptance for NAR members.
-
“[SASid representative] has been enthusiastic and professional every time I have spoken with her. My husband has had a pre-existing condition that made it difficult to find affordable coverage for just every-day needs. I had my questions answered repeatedly and [SASid] showed great patience. I am most appreciative with consistent communication and confident that both my husband and I have medical coverage.” – Vickie H. (Florence, KY)
Are you paying a lot for coverage? You may save on your current health plan by buying additional (supplemental) insurance.
-
“I initially called inquiring on possibilities of a cheaper plan through the NAR. I was paying $1,200 per month and it just seemed like stealing when I am so healthy. With the guidance of SASid I was able to find a major medical plan that would be a good fit with a REALTORS® Core Health Insurance plan. I not only have more affordable major medical coverage now, but I also have coverage for my day-to-day needs that will save me nearly $500 a month!” – Richard G. (Celebration, FL)
Have you had difficulty obtaining coverage? Being a guaranteed acceptance program, you are already qualified for coverage with no medical tests or questions required.
-
“Thank you again for all your patience, helpful commentary, great attitude, and simple explanations of such a complex issue as determining a suitable medical insurance policy. You „Made My Day‟ and ended a five-day search for health care insurance that wouldn‟t break the bank, yet would give us day-to-day coverage for normal medical issues encountered by healthy adults…” – Deberra O. (Menlo Park, CA)
Are you looking for accessible medical providers? You can go to ANY doctor or hospital and the benefits do not change.
Are You Looking for Options?
-
“We are grateful to be able to provide health insurance options for NAR‟s uninsured members. What we didn‟t anticipate was the impact on the 70% of members who currently have medical coverage. Many of these members have high costs associated with their current major medical* premium‟s. We have been able to reduce these costs by supplementing their major medical* with the RCHI program. SASid is passionate about helping members explore their coverage options.” SASid (program administer) President Shannon Kennedy, Licensed Agent (Janesville, WI).
