DCAR is known for its intense advocacy efforts, which definitely helps with being the voice of real estate in DC! We held our annual Advocacy Day at the John A. Wilson Building to cover the biggest REALTOR® issues directly with Councilmembers and staff.

So what’s the story?
DCAR and our volunteer leadership members got together at the John A. Wilson building to speak directly to the Council about the most important REALTOR® issues we are, and will be, tackling in the next year or so. It was an important and productive opportunity to engage with District officials. Happily, we were received well and the discussions were informative.

What issues did you discuss?
As you know, we aim to keep you informed about all the legislation that affects DC’s vital real estate community. Even so, we still need to inform the Council about what is important to our members and the people they serve. Topics included lowering recordation & transfer taxes, TOPA, affordable housing and economic development.

Where can I learn more about DCAR’s public policy?
You can always keep your eyes on our newsletter, legislative alerts, election endorsements and our always active social media presence.

Who can I contact about REALTOR® issues?
