Advocacy
We advocate for private-property owners—and each other. Thousands of interactions take place between NAR and members of Congress. Those efforts on issues like protecting 1031 exchanges and stopping capital gains tax increases will save consumers an estimated $1.47 trillion in federal taxes during the next 10 years. Texas REALTORS® represents you at the Texas Capitol in efforts to achieve historic property tax savings and fund the state’s infrastructure as well as supports local efforts and candidates.
