So what's the story?
DCAR and our volunteer leadership members got together at the John A. Wilson building to speak directly to the Council about the most important REALTOR® issues we are, and will be, tackling in the next year or so. It was an important and productive opportunity to engage with District officials. Happily, we were received well and the discussions were informative.
What issues did you discuss?
As you know, we aim to keep you informed about all the legislation that affects DC's vital real estate community. Even so, we still need to inform the Council about what is important to our members and the people they serve. Topics included lowering
recordation & transfer taxes,
TOPA, affordable housing and economic development.
Where can I learn more about DCAR's public policy?
You can always keep your eyes on our newsletter (which you are reading right now), legislative alerts, election endorsements and our always active social media presence.
Who can I contact about REALTOR® issues?
We are happy to receive your comments or questions by e-mail. Please drop us a line anytime by e-mail: DC Legislative.
Hey, that's a neat picture!

Important Information From The EPA And DOEE
|
Lead poisoning is a preventable crisis and we want to make sure you have the knowledge you need to avoid the pitfalls of renovations and demolitions. In order to deliver that knowledge to you, we brought in the experts from DOEE and the EPA.
DOEE's Lead & Healthy Housing director Pierre Erville and from the EPA's National Program Chemicals Division, Cindy Wheeler gave a great presentation and answered the important questions. We would like to thank Pierre and Cindy for their time.

Did You See Who Showed Up At The Happy Hour?
|
Our members know how to get classy, and classy they were when we treated them to a night of networking and good spirits. What a night we had! Our Ward 5 happy hour took place at Old Engine 12 Restaurant in the always beautiful Bloomingdale. On top of that, Kenyan McDuffie, the ward's Councilmember, stopped by for a visit.
The historic landmark was converted into a two-level bar and restaurant, which set the stage for a fantastic night.
We know business can be stressful, and that is why we make sure to take care of you at our many networking opportunities. To stay on top of what's happening at DCAR, follow us online at about.me/dcarealtors.
