National Legislative Issues

As America’s largest professional trade association, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® actively protects the interests of its members daily.

From its building located steps away from the United States Capitol, NAR advocates for federal policy initiatives that strengthen the ability of Americans to own, buy and sell real property.

The  REALTOR® legislative and regulatory agenda has been focused on efforts to stimulate, stabilize, and strengthen real estate markets across the nation while protecting the business interests of members. A stable real estate market is an essential component of the economy and essential for the communities in which we live and work in.
