The Voice for Real Estate – Legislative Meetings, HUD-1 and Trolls

In this weeks video from the NAR YouTube channel, NAR’s Director of Broadcasting Stephen Gasque talks bout the upcoming 2015 NAR Legislative Meetings where more than 8,000 REALTORS will travel to Washington to help ensure federal legislation and regulations help rather than hurt real estate. Stephen talks with Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and NAR Chief Lobbyist Jerry Giovaniello talks about priorities in NAR’s legislative town hall meeting.

We also learn about lawmakers getting tough on patent trolls and NAR Senior Counsel Finley Maxson provides advice on preparing for August 1 changes to closing procedures.

NAR Midyear Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo

I’m heading to the NAR Midyear Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo this morning, in the hope that I’ll learn a lot about where the industry is heading. The event describes itself as “where NAR members take an active role in advancing the real estate industry, public policy, and the association.”

It’s also a great opportunity to meet friends so if you are attending let me know, it will be great to see you!
