Call to Action: Support the First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account Program

The Pennsylvania Assocation of REALTORS urges all members to contact their state legislators and ask the to support House Bill 1981, which would establish the First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account Program. The program would allow Pennsylvanians to save money toward the purchase of a home and the money saved would qualify as a tax deduction for their state income tax return. Parents and grandparents would be eligible to save for children and grandchildren as well. To take action and learn more, visit www.firsthomepa.com

Is That Agent Really Licensed?

How many times has a consumer or client asked you to provide proof of your status as an active real estate licensee? How often have you asked another agent for proof of their license status? The answer is likely “rarely” - if at all. This reality makes real estate an easy target for imposters, scam artists and thieves.

It may be awkward to ask for such proof. However, it is easy enough to check from any internet connected device. Through this link to the state real estate commission’s license verification page you can verify the licensing status of any individual. It only takes a minute or two and the results can save you and/or a client time, money and possible harm. Read more.
