Fannie Mae Confirms Short Sales Commissions Policy and Establishes Appeals ProcessIn discussions between NAR and Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae has reconfirmed its short sale commission policy and established a process for REALTORS® to follow if issues arise. On February 24, 2009, Fannie Mae sent Announcement 09-03 to its servicers instructing them not to negotiate commissions on short sales below the amount negotiated by the listing agent, unless the commission exceeds 6 percent. The Announcement reminded servicers that third party approvals (i.e., private mortgage insurers) may be required and can affect commissions. In response to concerns raised by NAR that some servicers of Fannie Mae loans are unaware of this policy or believe it is not binding, Fannie Mae has established a process for NAR members when short sale commission issues arise.

THE NUMBERS TELL THE STORY!Here's some numbers that hopefully will give you a smile of pride!
All information was compiled from NAR and the respective Association's websites by Justin Carinci.
RAMB has 11,723 members and a staff of 24
RAGFL has 8,300 members and a staff of 28
SBBOR has 2,017 members and a staff of 6
NWD has 516 members and a staff of 2
and we have 12,141 members and a staff of 15
so... on average, the number of members served by each person on staff is:
RAMB 488
RAGFL 296
SBBOR 336
NWD 258
and us... 809!
And every day we get thanks and praise from satisfied members, especially from those Brokers and Agents who transferred to us and can compare the difference in service between the Association they left behind and us.
