Even if you don’t have the time to track all of the action at City Hall, the State Legislature, Congress, or the many regulatory agencies, be assured that we do. REALTOR® Associations work to monitor legislative policy at the local, state, and national level to ensure pro-homeownership and private property rights and a pro-real estate business environment. REALTOR® associations accomplish these goals through strong correspondence with legislators and politicians, candidate interview programs, and through the efforts of the REALTOR® Political Action Committee.

The Government Affairs program at the South Metro Denver REALTOR® Association is dedicated to promoting housing opportunity, protecting private property rights, and fostering economic development and a pro-business environment conducive to the real estate profession. To accomplish these goals, the Government affairs committee works to:

• Monitor local, state and federal public policies that affect property rights, as well as other issues relating to the business of real estate.
• Raise, with the help of REALTOR® volunteers, Political Action Committee (PAC) funds to assist candidates who support the real estate industry.
• Meet with elected officials to present our members’ views and opinions on relevant issues and legislation.
• Generate opportunities for REALTORS® to interact with local, state and federal officials.
