I am the REALTOR® Party of California and I Vote!

California REALTORS® cannot afford to ignore what occurs in the halls of government 

because Real Estate is one of the most regulated industries at the local, state and federal level. 

This is why every REALTOR® needs to be counted on Election Day!

Call-for-Action Update:  Loan Limits Reinstated
On November 17, 2011 Congress restored the loan limits for FHA for two years. In late September the FHA and Fannie/Freddie Loan Limits were reduced in 42 states pricing potential home buyers out of the American Dream of home ownership and holding back the housing recovery.  REALTORS® immediately went to work with the goal to get the loan limits restored in Congress.  Read more.

REALTOR® Broker Involvement
C.A.R. and NAR know that when brokers tell their agents that something is important, agents listen.  This is especially true when brokers ask their agents to respond to Red Alerts or Calls-for-Action on legislative issues that will affect their business. That’s why both organizations have started broker involvement programs to increase member participation in Red Alerts and Calls-for-Action so that we can successfully pass good laws and fight bad legislation.
