WATCH: Real Estate Agents Are Eligible for PPP Loans until May 31

It's no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has been rough on the bottom lines of people and businesses everywhere. Fortunately for real estate agents, there's a ray of hope. Earlier this year, the federal government announced that Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans are now available to independent contractors, which includes real estate agents.

What's more, the government extended the application deadline from March 31 to May 31. If you haven't applied for these forgivable loans yet, don't delay!

In order to make this process simpler for real estate agents, real estate technology company MooveGuru has teamed up with Blue Acorn and Capital Plus Financial. Now, all you have to do is visit mooveguru.blueppp.com to get the ball rolling.

We learned all about the ins and outs of applying for PPP loans in a recent webinar. Watch the recording below to find out what you need to know:
