Prince George s Real Estate Agents for Change formed in late September armed with a point plan for increasing homeownership and help housing related businesses in the county through legislation. The member group already has the support of several state lawmakers including Del. Aisha N. Braveboy D Dist. of Mitchellville. Braveboy is working with the group and other legislators on a bill requiring at least percent minority business participation on any project receiving public financing subject to state approval. We think the council was pleased that we weren t there to bash but to offer constructive advice said Brian Austin a Mitchellville broker and one of the group s committee chairmen. I said I hope they take these suggestions seriously. County Councilman Thomas E. Dernoga Dist. of Laurel said the group raised some points that the council had thought were being covered by the county housing department but added that the county needed more specifics. We like to know if we have things that could be done or if there are things the housing department is not on top of Dernoga said. The group chose to loosely describe its plan rather than present it in detail to the council going over items such as improving the program to help convert people living in subsidized Section rental housing into homeowners eliminating recordation and transfer taxes for home buying first responders and teachers who have master s degrees and instituting a moderately priced dwelling unit program. The agents also emphasized a desire to have input on how the council uses the . million it expects from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Prince George s is one of three Maryland jurisdictions to receive direct assistance for neighborhood stabilization because it has the highest foreclosure rate in the state. Dernoga said the council met with the Maryland Housing Authority secretary after speaking with the agents and has a great deal to consider in terms of spending the federal money. Nothing is wrong with them being involved in that the money is still in process as to how it s going to work he said. Dernoga said he hopes to set up a meeting between the agents and the county s Department of Housing and Community Development next month. Austin said the council also warned the agents that the county s cap on property taxes could interfere with some of the group s proposals saying it minimizes the available resources. This applies especially to the group s suggestion to eliminate recordation and transfer taxes for county first responders and home buying teachers with master s degrees. Ruth C. Wright the organization s founder and president of The Wright Realtor in Mitchellville said the council also recommended meeting with County Executive Jack B. Johnson D . This kind of collaboration between county governments and real estate agents is being seen more often throughout the state said Fern Davis director of Housing Programs for the Maryland Association of Realtors. Anne Arundel County agents are working to establish a better relationship with Anne Arundel Community Development Services a county funded nonprofit that promotes affordable housing. Also Baltimore County officials recently attended the local real estate agents annual housing conference and numerous agents assist in the county s moderately priced dwelling programs Davis said. Richard Nelson director of Montgomery County s Department of Housing and Community Affairs said he regularly speaks with real estate agents about foreclosures and how they affect the industry. The county and real estate groups also work together to ensure truthfulness in home advertising. We compare notes he said. Davis said her association itself is working with HUD toward stimulating the market. We want to teach Realtors what the local government is doing she said. Wright said she found the council to be receptive to the group s concerns and added that the agents are not looking for grant money but want to look at new ways to solve problems.
