The National Association of REALTORS® released a statement Monday by NAR President Elizabeth Mendenhall following the end of the federal government shutdown.

Her statement was:
“We are pleased that members of Congress were able to come together to extend short-term funding for the federal government and end the shutdown, which thankfully, will have only a minimal impact on real estate transactions. However, following this shutdown we strongly urge Congress to speed passage of legislation to reauthorize and reform the National Flood Insurance Program for a longer term and end the uncertainty of the current stopgap approach.”
