2024–2025 Legislative Agenda

Nov 13, 2024, 10:33 by Grace Parr
The 2024–2025 Legislative Agenda, developed by the NVAR Public Policy Committee, is now live.


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.
