Carry only the essentials for safety.

While you shouldn't carry unnecessary cash or valuable with you, here are several items you should keep on you—not in your handbag or briefcase!  Your cell phone with a fully charged battery, your wallet or simply an ID, and your car key.  Everything else should remain at home or locked in the trunk of your car. 
Check out www.REALTOR.org/Safety for more REALTOR® Safety information.

The Workforce Housing Certification (WHC) Classes

September 19 & 26, 2008
Obtain this designation for just $50!
Seating is limited – don’t wait to register!

To register, click here to download the registration form or click here to register online.

Increasingly, housing costs in many areas are exceeding the financial reach of many low-to-moderate-wage earners; such as, service-sector employees, entry-level staff and essential health personnel, as well as teachers, police officers and firefighters. Additionally, as many REALTORS® and lenders know, minorities and new immigrants often fall victim to discrimination and predatory lending practices. There are financial programs and tools that can help address the problem of affordability and you can learn about them. Develop your knowledge and expertise to serve this important and growing market by taking the steps to become WHC.

Workforce Housing Certified (WHC) REALTORS® are specially trained to receive customer inquiries on workforce and affordable housing finance programs for selected jurisdictions.  To obtain your WHC Certification just attend the classes on September 19th & 26th!

Click here for more information about the benefits of and how to obtain the WHC Designation.
