REALTORS® schedule meetings on Capitol Hill to tell their story to Congress, and let policymakers know “Who We R” and what we care about, like:

• Private property and homeownership rights
• The value that REALTORS® bring to communities
• The impact of real estate on the economy and the vital role it plays for consumers
• The importance of property ownership in building safe communities, accessible to all

Legislators appreciate when REALTOR® constituents take time to visit the nation’s capital. A visit to Capitol Hill is an effective tool to build relationships, and act as a resource to explain our position when Congress is considering an important piece of legislation.

During past visits, REALTORS® have talked to their legislators about a myriad of issues affecting homeowners, including the reauthorization of flood insurance, enhancements to home inventory and fair housing, the investment deadline extension for qualified opportunity zones, and additions to the Equality Act under Fair Housing.
