On behalf of the more than 1.5 million members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), thank you for your efforts to improve the Government Sponsored Enterprises' (the Enterprises) ability to fund their charter duties, including support for underserved communities. The Enterprises have been transformed into market utilities and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) should focus on a funding mechanism that takes advantage of that broad construct rather than only the narrowly supported and novel market for environmental, social and governance (ESG) investors. REALTORS® have a keen interest in the viability of the Enterprises and look forward to collaborating with the FHFA to ensure they support their charter duties. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to Ken Fears, NAR’s Director of Conventional Finance and Valuation, at KFears@NAR.REALTOR.
