Dear NHORA Member,

I want to thank everyone who attended the May luncheon. Once again, it was a huge success and a SOLD OUT event. We have a full schedule of events for this year lined up with phenomenal speakers, partnership opportunities and educational material. 

Therefore, we are requesting your assistance to pre-register for these events and specifically our monthly luncheons at Maggianos. This will allow us the opportunity to grow into a bigger room and not have to turn away anyone!

We will complete our series on HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative) Program. Our speaker will be Sandra Villalpando of Wachovia a Wells Fargo Bank. Sandra will address their implementation of the HAFA program and how it will impact short sales. In addition, you will learn the trade secrets in successfully closing a HAFA loan with your lender.

In addition, we will have a special invited guest from the National Community Stabilization Trust (NCST) introducing the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). They will be sharing with us how we can benefit from assisting local housing providers with neighbourhood stabilization activities such as;

(a) Garner opportunities to secure commission by developing a pipeline of mortgage-ready potential homebuyers.

(b) Develop business relationships with local housing providers that could lead to involvement in future housing projects. 

These are just some of the highlights of the opportunities that they will share so plan on attending our June 8th luncheon.

We encourage you to bring a guest who will benefit from being a member. Again, our membership levels are as follows; Guest and Full Membership. 

Our Full Membership level will allow the opportunity to become a Founding Member. For more information please visit our website at www.nhora.org.

In the spirit of mutual collaboration to promote affordable and sustainable homeownership I look forward to seeing you all on June 8, 2010.

Viva NHORA!
