Moreover, the Residential Economic Trends & Issues forum provided a comprehensive overview of the current market dynamics and emerging trends shaping the industry.

Beyond the conference halls, the Heartland REALTORS® embarked on a memorable trip to Capitol Hill, where they engaged in fruitful discussions with representatives and fellow REALTORS. These meetings served as a platform for exchanging information, advocating for property rights, small businesses, and homeownership, while also strengthening bonds within the real estate community. This was the highlight of our time in DC.

Education was also a key component of the trip, with sessions such as "Bias Override: Overcoming Barriers to Fair Housing" providing valuable insights into promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry.

Overall, the NAR Realtor® Legislative Meetings proved to be an invaluable opportunity for the Heartland REALTORS® to engage, advocate, and learn.
