We started early this morning to catch a bus to Austin to visit Capitol Hill for the Texas Association of REALTORS® – 2011 Hill Visits.  You may be wondering why I would be taking a whole day out of my work week to do this.  In today’s ever changing world of real estate, I now see the light….I MUST BE INVOLVED!  Many things have come to light and I realize that I need to be and want to be an active participant because it makes me a better Broker for our clients and our associates.

This opportunity to work beside my fellow REALTORS® gave us the chance to visit with our local legislators and find out where they stand on these important issues.  I assure you that our local and state REALTOR® organizations are looking out for the interest of private property owners in Texas and I can say that I am very proud to be a Texas Realtor!

More than 2,000 Texas Realtors participated in the 2011 Legislative Hill Visits at the Texas Capitol on April 12. Involving myriad meetings between Texas Realtors and legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the Texas House, the discussions focused on supporting a wide range of consumer-protection legislation and protecting the rights of homeowners.
