Message from the EVP of NJAR - Megan's Law

Recently Joyce Andreoli was asked by members of the New Jersey Association of Realtors about our ability to notify buyers when we are notified of a convicted sex offender in the neighborhood.

Here is the printed answer in the New Jersey Realtor August 2007 edition.

"No, you may not inform a potential buyer that there is a convicted sex offender in the neighborhood. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 2C:7-6 through 11 (Megan's Law) and the guidelines promulgated, licensees shall make no inquiry about and provide no information on notification from a county prosecutor issued pursuant to that law.
In response to requests for such information, licensees shall inform the person making the inquiry that information about registered sex offenders is maintained by the county prosecutor. The NJAR contract of sale contains a section that notifies the buyer that New Jersey law establishes an Internet registry of sex offenders that may be accessed at www.njsp.org."

STOP a potential new TAX on your home equity

As I was reading my August 2007 edition of New Jersey Realtor magazine I was informed about four legislative bills (A3190, A3341, A3387 and S2080) that would allow municipalities to impose their own local realty transfer fees.

In my opinion this is horrible. Why should homeowners have to pay another realty transfer fee? If passed this legislation will erode more of your home equity and provide you less money for your next home or retirement fund or _________. You fill in the blank.

To learn more about these bills you can contact Jarrod C. Grasso, NJAR's VP of Government Affairs, at (732) 494-5616 or contact your local representatives in the New Jersey Assembly or Senate.
