2015 realtist week

“KEYS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP”

During REALTIST WEEK, WEEK REALTISTS come together as an organization. I believe that coming together will strengthen our direction in increasing the homeownership rate.

All of the things we are

doing for REALTIST WEEK will help us focus on increasing our community involvement, increasing Donnell Spivey President

our political connections and advancing the vision of

NAREB.

I

ask

all

of

you

to

participate

wholeheartedly in all of the REALTIST WEEK activities. Thank you for your continued support of NAREB.

In an effort to remind our community of the importance of homeownership, it’s a part of our heritage, our designation, and our mandate to own the land and properties in our neighborhoods.

With home purchases and investments made today, we can position ourselves, and our families for a brighter future, enabling us to experience significant equity, gains, and profits!

Let’s be a part of this great wave, and ride the curve back up to the top… before real estate prices quickly increase again! As our REALTISTS creed declare, it’s up to us, we are the foot soldiers in the field, assigned to bring democracy,
