State & Local Advocacy

Rally to Protect the American Dream - State and Local Advocacy

State & Local Advocacy

The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations working to protect and promote homeownership and property investment. The REALTOR® Party speaks with one voice to advance candidates that build strong communities and promote a vibrant business environment.

The REALTOR® Party is effective at all levels of government because of its grassroots strength. That strength is exhibited in advocacy as well as community involvement. The REALTOR® Party works hand in hand with the REALTORS Political Action Committee (RPAC).

NAR provides a wide variety of resources to foster and harness the grassroots strength of the REALTOR® Party.

Land Use Initiative

NAR’s Land Use Initiative is a program designed to assist state and local REALTOR® associations in their public policy advocacy of land use issues.

State Issues Tracker

The State Issues Tracker is an interactive database designed to help association staff to find state regulations affecting the real estate industry.

State Legislative Monitor

The State Legislative Monitor is a service designed to help association staff to identify and monitor state legislation.
