Raleigh AssociationoOf REALTORS® Participates in the REALTOR® Nationwide Open House

Raleigh, NC, April 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Theresa Clark, president of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® (RRAR) (www.rrar.com), has announced that the association is participating in the REALTOR® Nationwide Open House event Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11. The nationwide effort is to increase consumer awareness of the benefits of buying a home and give sellers an opportunity to increase the exposure for their home for sale. Most importantly, the open house event is a collective effort on behalf of the REALTOR® association and its participating members to continue to spread the word about the expanded first-time homebuyer and long-term homebuyer tax credits, which end April 30. Qualified buyers wishing to take advantage of the credits, which provide up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 for longtime ones, must enter in a contract by April 30 and close no later than June 30.

Quotes:
“With the first-time homebuyer and long-term homebuyer tax credits ending soon, we are hoping to encourage potential buyers to get out and see the available options the Triangle has to offer,” said Raymond Larcher, executive vice president of RRAR. “We are hoping the team effort of REALTORS® across the area during the Nationwide Open House will help bring a surge of activity to our local real estate economy.”
