Every spring, NVAR compiles legislative and regulatory policy goals for the coming year into a document called the NVAR Legislative Program.
The Legislative Program is developed over several months based on feedback given by NVAR members. The process begins in March, when NVAR committees and forums are asked to submit issues to the NVAR Public Policy Committee for consideration. Individual Realtors® may also submit issues to the committee. A task force researches these issues and recommends pertinent ones for inclusion in the Legislative Program.
Once a draft program has been developed, the Public Policy Committee reviews it and sends a final draft to NVAR’s Board of Directors for consideration. Following approval by the Board, NVAR forwards the program to the Virginia Association of Realtors® for inclusion in the statewide list of legislative priorities.
An important component of the issues we look at is your voice. If you have suggestions for items we should be looking into please email us at govaffairs@nvar.com OR fill out this quick form.

The Northern Virginia Association of Realtors® (NVAR) ensures that the interests of Northern Virginia Realtors® are known to lawmakers at every level of government — from City Hall and the General Assembly to the U.S. Capitol. Our elected officials are making decisions every day that have a significant impact on property rights, quality of life, and the bottom line for Realtors®, their clients, and consumers. These leaders recognize the magnitude of Realtor® impacts on the Northern Virginia economy and beyond, and they listen to the Realtor® voice when it speaks.
This is the power of the REALTOR® Party.
The REALTOR® Party is the powerful alliance of individual Realtors® and Realtor® associations at all levels, working to protect and promote homeownership, build strong communities, and foster a vibrant business ecosystem. Whether it is NVAR advocating in our region, the Virginia REALTORS® working in Richmond, or the National Association of REALTORS® walking the halls of the U.S. Capitol, the REALTOR® Party works to advance public policies that shape our communities and the real estate industry.
Now more than ever, it is critically important for Realtors® across the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area and beyond to come together and speak with one voice. We must emphasize the stability a sound and dynamic real estate market brings to our communities and demonstrate that the American Dream of Homeownership is alive and well.
