So many spectacular ideas, decisions, and movements arise out of events like NAR Midyear. In a perfect world, we’d all be able to attend – but the reality is that we can’t. That’s why I was so excited that the WAV Group took some time to share with me a presentation they’ve created to summarize NAR Midyear, with a special emphasis on the topics of interest to brokers. I’m going to share a few of the key points here.
1) Articulating the value of NAR. Ways that NAR provides value to their membership include:
2) An economic update. The point that really stood out to me here is “Sequestration,” which means that spending cuts go into effect automatically on January 1st, 2013, unless a new budget is passed.
3) A legal update. There are three main legal issues relevant to NAR right now:
4) Political fundraising. As you know, NAR recently increased their dues $40 per member per year. One of the main objectives for this dues increase was to raise funds for political lobbying to support home ownership rights. There has been a shift in the focus of this lobbying, however, from candidates to issues. Quite simply, the political objective of NAR is to help fight for property owners.
