Great American Realtor Days


Along with over 1,000 fellow Realtor members, I made the annual trip to Tallahassee for FAR's "Great American Realtor Days." By meeting with their state senators and representatives, Realtors strongly advocated for FAR's four major initiatives for 2008: property tax relief, property insurance, affordable housing and health insurance.

To kick off the two-day event, Governor Charlie Crist and U.S. Senator Mel Martinez addressed the group.Govenor Crist also thanked Realtors for their support of Amendment 1.

With a united voice that speaks to the needs of the industry, we can accomplish our goals in the legislative arena. Our efforts helped to get Amendment 1 passed. But that was just the beginning. The coming year is promising, and we must continue the fight.

Through continually communicating with our legislative members, we can ensure that our voice is heard.
