Builders Testimonials
"As a small to mid-size builder in a rura l market, we were   n't sure this would provide value for us. Our first quarterly rebate covered both our annual dues to our local home builders association and the staff time to complete the simple rebate request form. Three quarters of bonus rebates! Definitely a benefit worthy of membership! Gregg Moneyhun, Shelter Alternatives, Inc. (VA)

"The HBAV Rebate Program offers a great incentive for home builders in Virginia. We were very excited to receive over $2,300 dollars in rebates. There are a variety of companies and quality products involved with the program, with more being added.
every quarter. The submittal process is easy and painless, with minimal forms required. We look forward to receiving more rebates in the future." Caskey Hunt, Southern Development Homes (VA) "

Time is Running Out for the NFIP


Congress needs to act immediately to pass legislation to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) before its July 31 deadline.
It is essential that the program is reauthorized before the deadline or sales of homes across the nation will face delays or cancellations. We need Congress to understand that the reauthorization of the NFIP is an urgent priority for home builders, homeowners, and their local communities.
Contact your representatives now and urge them to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program.


   

 We want to take this time to thank Jamie and Ruth along with their entire staff in hosting our July Members Night Out!  The tour they provided us to show their entire operations. It was truly impressive!

The RMI has been consistently above 50-indicating that more remodelers report market activity is higher compared to the prior quarter than report it is lower-since the second quarter of 2013. The overall RMI averages ratings of current remodeling activity with indicators of future remodeling activity.
