It was our pleasure to attend the 2014 NAR Midyear meetings and expo, now re-named REALTOR Party Conference and Expo. We were in meetings everyday on a host of issues, some related to the organization’s structure and policies, much of it on legislation and reports from NAR workgroups. Below is a report on just some of the issues we thought would be of interest.
Thank your the opportunity!
Sandy Carroll, CEO
Mark McIlquham, Board President
Karen Climo, 2014 MLS President
