NAR Midyear Conference
The National Association of REALTORS® held their conference in Washington DC in May.  The conference was a mix of informative educational opportunities and REALTOR® committee meetings.  The conference also gave our members an opportunity to meet directly with our elected officials at the Capitol and discuss several pressing issues of concern to our industry.  There are several legislative and regulatory challenges currently before us that could significantly limit the availability of residential mortgages and take home ownership out of reach from millions of Americans.
