NAR Legislative & Regulatory Accomplishments
As the largest professional trade association in the United States, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® represents nearly 1.1 million members. Our members are involved in all facets of residential and commercial real estate as brokers, salespeople, property managers, appraisers and counselors. NAR advocates policy initiatives that will result in the return of a fundamentally sound and dynamic U.S. real estate market, fostering vibrant communities in which to live and work. The REALTOR® Legislative and Regulatory Agenda has been focused on efforts to stimulate, stabilize and strengthen real estate markets across the nation while also protecting the business interests of its members. NAR has made significant progress on both fronts. The issues highlighted here represent a portion of the activity conducted on behalf of REALTORS®. Read the full report at NAR's website.
