Realto Government Day

I had the honor of attending the Realtor Government Day held March 20, 2013 in Madison. I had the privilege of listening to Governor Scott Walker talk along with both Democratic and Republican legislators and some of their aides. This annual event was sponsored by the Wisconsin Realtors Association. The topics discussed were bills which are currently “on the table”. Some of the topics were as follows:

1. The residency law was discussed meaning that the city of Milwaukee employees would need to reside in the city.

2. Brokers needing a minimum of two years experience as a sales person before one can go onto becoming a broker.

3. Appraiser management legislation which would allow appraisers to do appraisals only in geographic areas that is most familiar to them.

4. A Productive Credit which is a credit to people who are starting up a business that would in effect provide jobs to others.

5. The issue of municipal utility bills that result in utility bills going onto the owners tax bill if the tenant does not pay municipal utilities.

Our voices as realtors were heard as there were about 500 realtors that attended this event. I felt like I played a part in the decision making process of bills that will affect many of my clients lives along with affecting my own business.
