REALTORS, ALERT ACTION NEEDED - Rural America Loans THREATENED...

Maryland REALTORS, please help ensure sustainability of the existing Rural Housing Service (RHS) Loan Program (Sec. 502). Roughly 900 communities across the country will soon lose eligibility for Rural Housing Service programs -- Maryland communities like Accokeek & Benesville (Charles County), Chesapeake Ranch (Calvert), Eldersburg (Caroll), Elkton (Cecil) and Sykesville (Carroll). While this may not be your Maryland community, it significantly impacts our state market as a whole during these fragile economic times. We need your help!

Remember...collectively, we CAN make our voice heard! YOUR personal action DOES make a difference! Compounded with over 20,000 Maryland REALTORS and nearly a million more nationally, REALTORS will be heard LOUD & PROUD! Please take Action TODAY?! As always, many thanks for your advocacy efforts!

PLEASE READ MORE HERE & TAKE ACTION NOW!
