Johnson County Board of Realtors

11/21/2025

Yesterday, we gathered at The Barn at Sleepy Hollow for our JCBOR General Board meeting, where we were treated to a delectable and beautifully prepared Thanksgiving meal, generously sponsored by Vanessa Zavala with Arvest Bank and catered by Melissa Hurst Muldoon.

What better way to celebrate than to present this year's fundraising proceeds to our four chosen recipients? The proceeds from our annual Teacup Auction Fundraising event, held each September, enabled us to present checks totaling $8,276.16 to four deserving nonprofit organizations, with each receiving $2,069.04.

This year's recipients were:

Johnson County Helping Hands
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Disabled American Veterans
Pregnancy Help Clinic

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community for their unwavering support and attendance at the teacup auction each year, as well as to our affiliate members and businesses who generously donate sponsor levels and items. Your selflessness and kindness are the driving force behind our success, and we are forever grateful. Without you, none of this would be possible!!

Good idea or bad one????

Over the weekend, President Trump endorsed a suggestion to create 50-year long mortgages, 60% longer than 30-year mortgages. It's all part of an effort to combat higher home prices and interest rates. But it's drawn criticism after increased costs to the home buyers were calculated.
