JD Powers and Associates

Agents,
Below is the letter you should have received from KWRI regarding our JD Power and Associates award. Please note that you must stop using their marketing emblem with any marketing as of next week.
Diane

Dear Associates —

2010 is shaping up to be the year that irrefutable proof of the Keller Williams difference is shining through like never before.
We trust that you’ve actively leveraged the 2009 J.D. Power and Associates announcement that Keller Williams Realty received the Highest Satisfaction for Homebuyers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms for Two Years in a Row.*
Please note, however, that we licensed the right from J.D. Power and Associates for all of us to incorporate the J.D Power and Associates survey ranking into our marketing materials, and that contract expires June 30, 2010!
What this means is that it’s time to stop using these claims and trademarks. Please note, however, that if we automatically added the J.D. Power and Associates logo and “Highest Satisfaction” information to your individual or market center Website, we’ll be able to remove it remotely – no action is needed on your part.
If you have included the J.D. Power and Associates information on any printed materials, you can complete your current inventory, but be sure that the J.D. Power and Associates claims or trademarks do not appear on new materials.
This was a well-deserved honor for you, and we were delighted for every opportunity we had to let the world know about it!
We're eagerly awaiting the results of the 2009-2010 J.D. Power and Associates Home Buyer/Seller Study, and we'll share that information with you as soon as we receive it!
Yours in spreading the word and keeping our word!
KWRI Marketing Team

Seller Financing Update from TAR

Many of us have been very concerned about the implementation of federal legislation known as the SAFE Act that would severely limit an individual’s ability to seller finance their property in Texas.We are working on numerous regulatory and legislative solutions to this affront to private-property owners, and have some good news to report. At our urging, the chief regulator over the SAFE Act in Texas, the commissioner of the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending, has taken significant steps to allow Texas property owners to continue to seller finance up to five transactions in a 12-month period.More specifically, the commissioner has delayed the implementation of the SAFE Act requirement for licensure in seller-financed transactions in Texas until August 31. This will give us time to implement regulatory and legislative changes during the coming months. For now it is important for you to know that the long-standing law of allowing a Texas seller to finance up to five transactions in a consecutive 12-month period is still in effect and the Texas Association of REALTORS® will continue to work at the federal and state level to see that this is a permanent solution.Finally, this action would not have happened if not for the thousands of Texas REALTORS® who participated in our grassroots efforts to correct this abuse to private-property owners in Texas.Your actions do make a difference.
