Attend REALTOR® Day at the Texas Capitol
Don’t miss REALTOR® Day at the Texas Capitol Wednesday, March 26. REALTORS® from around the state will connect with their elected representatives and staff. The event is a chance to make your voice heard and advocate for your industry.
If you don’t know what to say to your state senator or a chief of staff, don’t worry. The association can offer guidance. Or if you’d prefer, you can just be present and show your support that way. Your attendance matters.
The event doubles as an outstanding networking opportunity. Get to know your fellow REALTORS® during the barbecue lunch, morning rally, and group photo. Plus you can tour the association’s headquarters and participate in other fun activities. Check out these frequently asked questions here and then sign up to attend.
Share the benefits
Becoming more aware of the association’s advocacy efforts is the first step to sharing that information with your clients and prospects. Your contacts will see your commitment to professionalism and that could make a difference in a future transaction.
No matter what happens, rest assured that your state REALTOR® association will be there where decisions are made to support the best possible environment for you to buy, sell, and lease real estate.
