NIHBA Updates

2020 NIHBA President, Dan Jurjovec/ Lakewest Custom Homes

The 2020 Cavalcade Tour of Homes is underway!  We have 17 homes committed and going strong!  If you are or know a Builder/Remodeler who may have a project or new home to enter in our September 2020 Tour please contact Shela!      

We also have excellent sponsorship opportunities for Cavalcade!  Contact Shela or Vanessa for more information!

 40% of our Cavalcade Tour ticket proceeds will be donated to Naperville Responds to Veterans and Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans!    We encourage all of our Builders and Remodelers to consider participating in our 2020 Tour!  Call our office for information!    

NIHBA is following the recommendations of the Illinois Health Department and Federal Agencies in regard to safety and precaution during these difficult COVID-19 times.  We have postponed all events, seminars and meetings until after May 1st. 

The following regulations were handed down by the IL Department of Finance & Professional Regulations:

• Open Houses are NOT permitted
• Showing occupied rental properties is NOT permitted
• Showings of vacant or owner-occupied units ARE permitted if necessary and scheduled in advance but limited to no more than 4 people
• Virtual showings ARE preferred

We look forward to May and June when we can bring our members the outstanding events and seminars that we typically provide as an active and energized Association!  

Builders, you can look forward to June 4th when we will be hosting our annual Mega Conference which provides valuable information on our local markets and the state of our housing industry. 

May 14th will be a great day for our Open House hosted by Sierra Pacific Windows - it will be a perfect way to kick off your Memorial Weekend early! 

And who doesn't love Italian food?!  You'll be able to join us on June 2nd at the fabulous Fiamme Restaurant in downtown Naperville for an NIHBA member only event!  We will have the restaurant to ourselves and a fantastic Agenda designed for you to meet and learn about your colleagues and your industry!

And of course you don't want to miss our SUMMER GOLF OUTING being held on June 25th at the award winning VILLAGE LINKS GOLF COURSE in Glen Ellyn!   NIHBA has you covered with seasons of outstanding events!  Visit us online to register and learn more about our events and upcoming Member Seminars!  

NIHBA strives to be politically heard and urges our members to forge relationships with your State Reps and learn about important legislative issues that impact our industry.
