In anticipation of additional federal funding for the CARES Act, we want to share a video NAR has created that offers guidance on how you can secure funds for your business.

The video features REALTORS®, with different business structures and sizes, sharing how they successfully obtained Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans. You’ll also hear tips on navigating the Small Business Administration, what forms to have on-hand when applying, and how to find a lender in your area.

Don’t wait—and be prepared when you apply—because funding is limited.

Earlier today, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced that he plans to sign an executive order next week extending Illinois’ stay-at-home order until May 30.

As we learn more about the final details of the extended stay-at-home order, we will share them with our members.
