NAR Guides Cover Fraud, Fair Housing, Taxes

NAR released three new Consumer Guides on title fraud, fair housing and mortgage interest deductions to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Association of Realtors® released three new Consumer Guides in recent weeks designed to help sellers and buyers understand title fraud, fair housing and mortgage interest tax deductions.

In the Understanding & Protecting Yourself From Title Fraud guide, buyers and sellers learn the basics of title fraud, how it happens, who’s most at risk and how they can protect themselves from the threat. The Overcoming Barriers to Homeownership guide discusses homeownership readiness, debt management and barriers to entry with a focus on how Realtors® help find dream homes. In the Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction guide, NAR explains how the deduction works for smarter financial decisions.  

Like others in NAR’s Consumer Guide series, the resources are also aimed to equip customers with the tools they need to make informed choices following the practice changes that began Aug. 17, highlighting the value of working with a Realtor.

The Consumer Guides can be printed as handouts. Most are available in English and Spanish. All of NAR’s resources can also be viewed at facts.Realtor.
