Chairs and Vice Chairs of Committees met today at the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors©. One of the first things read was KCRAR's mission statement. "It is the mission of the KCRAR to be the advocate for Realtor© members, to advance the professionalism, integrity and competency of members, and to promote private property rights." We've all read that statement more than once but do we consider it's implications in our daily lives?KCRAR Chair and Vice Chair meeting

Many people may not realize that the National Association of Realtors© was formed in1908 and that Kansas City MO was one of the founding boards.

One of the first committees formed within the NAR was a committee on taxation. The committee's purpose was to ensure fair taxation for property owners.

Since it's inception, the NAR has been fighting to keep property taxes reasonable so that 'ordinary' people can afford to own a home and land. Every time congress wants to levy a new tax or fee on property owners, the NAR has been at the forefront to protect property owners' rights, freedom and economic welfare.

We covered many topics today but the one thing that kept coming back to my mind over the course of the day was the importance of protecting the property rights of our citizens. Sometimes we get caught up in business and forget how important this is. It's crucial to keep an eye on our elected representatives and their financial backers so that owning property remains an attainable goal for all U.S. citizens.

What a great little bit of history of the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors, Maria – they certainly do good work!  It’s the efforts of the affiliated REALTORS that truly support the community!

NAR has done some good, but they need to get back on track.  It has seamed to be floating around a bit to much.

Hi Maria. Thanks for sharing this. Protecting the property rights of our citizens is very important.The power to regulate private property rights must be returned to state and local governing units and confined to the strict original concept of common law nuisance and harm backed by empirical, peer-reviewed research. I hope everything will end up well. Best of luck.
