At MarylandHomeownership.com, the consumer-facing website from the Maryland Association of REALTORS®, features a wealth of reliable information on homebuying, housing assistance programs, fair housing, avoiding foreclosure, and much more. “With the growing nationwide crisis in housing affordability, Maryland ­REALTORS® need to continue to be proactive in our consumer outreach efforts, both through our members and directly to the public,” says association CEO Chuck Kasky.

“MarylandHomeownership.com provides an effective platform to present REALTORS® as the best resource for home buying expertise.” The website also gives members a REALTOR®-branded place to refer clients to and has been recently updated to include a searchable database of mortgage programs and down payment and closing cost assistance incentives for first-time and low-to-moderate income buyers. The site is intended to be a clearinghouse for all information related to the home buying process. “The website complements our Workforce Housing Certification education program, which prepares REALTOR® members to guide working individuals and families through what can be a challenging and confusing process,” says Laurie Benner, the association’s director of housing programs.
