WASHINGTON – The National Association of Realtors® shared another new Consumer Guide to help Realtors continue to build trust with inquiring buyers, this time with a focus on veterans.

The resources you need to do business in the post-NAR settlement real estate industry.

The guide, “What Veterans Need to Know About Buying a Home,” is the latest in NAR’s series that demonstrates the value of working with a Realtor®. This guide explains what NAR is doing to promote access to financing for veterans and highlights the options available to veteran buyers in their homebuying process.

The new guide, along with the first three resources in NAR’s Consumer Guide series, are designed to be downloaded at facts.Realtor or through the following links:
