Nearly 9,000 REALTORS\u00ae and state and local association executives are in Washington, D.C., this week to make their voices count on Capitol Hill. At the REALTORS\u00ae Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo, members and leaders will gather to advance real estate<\/a> and policy issues, including tax reform, credit and lending policies, and insurance<\/a> programs. “The meetings offer<\/a> members the chance to have a big impact on our issues and how we address priorities,” says William E. Brown, president of the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n
