ACTION ALERT: Ask your member of the NC House to vote YES on the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act!


Now, more than ever, your help is needed to protect homeowners and homebuyers from predatory real estate practices!

Contact your member of the NC House of Representatives TODAY and urge them to vote YES for SB 1015, the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act!

The Issue:
Next week the NC House will vote on SB 1015, the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act, sponsored by Senator Josh Stein. We are in a race to the finishline to pass this important bill before the legislative session ends!
SB 1015 will prohibit foreclosure rescue scams and add reasonable consumer protections to certain real estate transactions: lease-option or "rent to own" deals and contracts for deeds. These scams and real estate practices have been used in deceitful ways to exploit families who are desperately looking for ways to save their home from foreclosure and North Carolinians looking for an alternative path to homeownership.


Please act today!

Contact your member of the House and urge them to VOTE YES on SB1015.

The Ask:
Please vote YES on SB 1015, the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act. This bill will help NC homeowners facing unprecedented job loss and risk of foreclosure by prohibiting foreclosure rescue scams. It will also protect unsuspecting homebuyers from a range of predatory real estate practices that stand in the way of sustainable homeownership.
