In an effort to best serve our NABOR members, now and in the future, we have partnered with The CEShop to offer you online education.

An Important Update from NABOR
COVID-19 resources
FAQ from NAR's Federal Advocacy team. Click here to read.
Hello NABOR Members! We wanted to make sure you all received the following message from Louisiana REALTORS. Make sure to watch the short video and read ALL information using the links in the message.
Louisiana REALTORS® continues to closely monitor the quickly developing effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Over the weekend, LR sent letters to the Governor, the Louisiana Tax Assessors' Association and the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association urging the collaboration of government entities that are crital to the transaction. View the video message from Norman Morris, CEO providing an update and list of things available to you to help you navigate these times.
Starting at 5:00 pm TODAY, March 23, 2020, a statewide Stay at Home Order goes into effect. We have provided some general guidance and answers about how does this order impact real estate. The guidance addresses the following:
· Does the Governor’s Stay at Home Order mean I cannot conduct business?
· Can we still conduct real estate closings?
· Can I still hold open houses on listed properties or show houses?
We encourage brokers and managers to contact their agents and support staff to determine a plan of action on how best to serve their clients through remote and virtual methods and how to conduct business while also following the Governor’s Order and the CDC’s guidelines on group gatherings. If you have transactions and timelines that are potentially impacted, put to use the Coronavirus Amendment that has been drafted.
We wish for everyone to take these precautions seriously and remain in good health and positivity to navigate this challenge together!
Sincerely,
Evelyn Wolford

Dear NABOR members,
We have further updates regarding NABOR, COVID-19 and the most recent recommendations made by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). As of March 15, 2020 the CDC has recommended that no gatherings of more than 50 people be held for the next 8 weeks. Also with the closure of schools many of you are having difficulties with child care.
The Board of Directors feels strongly that, while we want to maintain as many normal activities as possible to help you be successful, your health and well-being are paramount. In an effort to follow through with our mission while being responsible we have made the following decisions about upcoming events:
1) NABOR Boot Camp is cancelled for March, April and May, 2020.
2) New Member Orientations will be POSTPONED.
3) Live CE classes will be cancelled through May, 2020.
4) The General Membership Meeting for April 7, 2020 will be cancelled.
5) The PAT Fundraiser for May, 2020 will be POSTPONED.
6) The Awards Gala for March 19, 2020 is POSTPONED.
7) The scheduled Board of Directors meetings will continue as scheduled.
Because this is an ever-changing environment there may be more adjustments made and communicated to you via email and social media. Please, stay diligent in watching for future communications.
The most recent recommendation from the CDC can be found HERE.

"Confidence and stability are two of the most critical factors impacting America’s housing market and economy," the National Association of REALTORS®’ President Vince Malta said after the agreement passed the House.
