News from REALTORS® Federal Credit Union

It’s finally March and spring is just around the corner! Your credit union is preparing to launch our new online banking, mobile banking and business checking in the upcoming weeks! Please stay tuned and watch for emails for more updates.

Business Lending
REALTORS® Federal Credit Union now offers a variety of business loans to accommodate any of your business lending needs. We offer Small Business Loans and Lines of Credit for up to $50,000 to purchase business items such as new computers, office equipment or new RAMCO technology. If you have larger lending needs (over $50,000) look to our Member Business Lending for purchasing or refinancing a building, investment properties or improvements to your business. REALTORS® FCU has partnered with SentriLock to help you with financing for your lockbox needs with our SentriLock Loan. And through a partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration we are also able to offer SBA Loans to qualified small businesses.

Realize YOUR American Dream with REALTORS® Federal Credit Union
REALTORS® Federal Credit Union has a variety of home loans that can make the American Dream a more affordable reality. REALTORS® FCU offers first mortgages for home purchases or refinances with a selection of affordable options. Features include flexible terms, competitive fixed and adjustable rates and convenient payment methods. REALTORS® FCU can also provide you with home equity loans and credit lines such as Home Equity Line of Credit and 2nd mortgages to finance home improvements, taxes, emergencies, debt consolidation and more.

Annual Dues & REALTOR® Event Savings Accounts
REALTORS® Federal Credit Union has created two different savings accounts to make paying your annual dues and going to REALTOR® events a breeze. An Annual Dues Savings Account is a great place for you to stash some extra cash when you have it – and forget about it. Consider this account “untouchable” until dues time comes around. Dedicate an elected percentage of each commission check and deposit it immediately. Setting aside an average of just $60 a month will cover most of your local, state and national dues for the year. You should also consider opening a REALTOR® Event Savings Account to make setting aside cash for your trip simple and painless. Saving $160 a month could get you to either NAR’s Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo or NAR’s Annual Conference & Expo. Saving for these events is truly an investment in your future. Open either one of these savings accounts today by logging in to Online Banking and clicking on the “Accounts” tab.

More Education = More Opportunity
Education pays. According to data from the 2010 NAR Member Profile, the median income of REALTORS® with at least one designation was nearly $22,000 more than the income of those with no designation. It makes sense then that today’s agents are continuously looking for new educational opportunities. Understanding the importance of education in a changing market, REBAC and NAR’s Center for Specialized REALTOR® Education announce the launch of Training4RE.com.
