When policy makers are deciding how to vote on legislation, it’s critical that the voice of Virginia’s REALTORS^® is heard.

Whether Congress is considering changing the Tax Reform or the extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, our input is essential in ensuring that your business interests remain protected and that your clients’ rights are defended.

That’s why we need you to sign up for the Broker Involvement Program today. This allows NAR to communicate to your agents, under your name, when the legislature is doing something that will harm your bottom line.

The Broker Involvement Program offers you and your agents:

• A Voice on Capitol Hill

The program is an opportunity to bring a strong and united REALTOR^® voice to Members of Congress. With more than 15,000 broker owners and 470,000 agents in the program, the REALTOR^® voice will be heard loud and clear.

• An Easy-to-Manage Solution

It’s easy to register and there’s NO extra work required from you. Nothing needs to be downloaded and there is no cost to the broker.

• Proven Results

Participation reports show us that response rates on Broker Calls for Action are significantly higher than normal action alerts. The message is from you, the broker, to your agents. Agents who receive Calls For Action from their brokers are 10% more likely to respond. That’s a big impact.

Thank you for all that you do for our industry.
