Last week, NAR Directors approved the continuation of the Consumer Ad Campaign, increasing the annual special assessment from $35 to $45 per year per member because of the increased cost of media. The current campaign, That's Who We R, is now in its fourth year and has garnered 42 advertising industry awards.

Robert Beshears- Stockton Mortgage
You've heard the horror stories...how hard it is to qualify, the mounds of paperwork you have to provide, the difficulties and delays. Not to mention the fighting, shopping, and haggling to get a good rate.
I've got great news...
When you're ready, the next step in getting a low rate mortgage made easy is to contact me so we can review your unique situation and make sure that you get a low rate mortgage without the stress and hassle that's normally associated with it.
It's easy to reach me - feel free to call me direct or if you prefer you can email me. Either way I'm here to make the experience of getting a mortgage a good one for you.
Whether you need the mortgage to buy a home, or are looking to refinance for a better rate or some cash out of your property, I can help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
