WANT CU REALTY OF TEXAS FOR YOUR CREDIT UNI0N?

More than 475,000 Texans buy or sell a house each year. That's a BIG opportunity for credit unions to help its members achieve the American dream of homeownership. Credit unions can assist their members in buying or selling a home and allow members to earn a reward in the process. There are more than 7.1 million credit union members right here in Texas waiting for our services!


WHAT IS CU REALTY OF TEXAS?

CU Realty of Texas is a credit union service organization (CUSO) formed by Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union and CU Realty Services, a premier provider of real estate services for the credit union industry. Our goal is to streamline the process of buying or selling a house. We offer a comprehensive package of online decision support tools including access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS), pre-approved real estate agents, and a valuable home rebate program.


WHAT SERVICES ARE OFFERED?

WANT TO BUY?
CU Realty Services' innovative web portal that allows credit union members to search realtors MLS for homes, view school reports, neighborhood demographics, and get a map to the home. Members can also get an estimated "market value" on a home they're thinking of buying, and link to participating credit unions for mortgage approval.


NEED TO SELL?
In selling a home, members can learn the estimated value of the home they're selling, access tools to evaluate the property condition, get help to determine what repairs will yield the best return on their dollar, and receive guidance throughout the process.


LOOKING FOR AN AGENT?
Members can view agent information, photos, and learn more about the agent prior to contacting them. Agents are listed on the site based on the city they serve.


WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

According to the National Association of Realtors, homebuyers in 2004 spent an average of two to three weeks searching for homes on their own before contacting an agent. This "window shopping" timeframe is the perfect opportunity for credit unions to help members find their dream home and an agent they can trust.

Participating credit unions, its members, and the hand-selected agents reap the benefits.
