INFO TO KNOW:
|
This year's legislative session was
significant
for Texas real estate consumers and private property rights. Our advocacy, responses to 'Calls for Action', and our March visit to the Capitol made the difference. The REALTORS'
®
involvement helped to change the property tax system and school finance system to benefit taxpayers, to end cities' ability to forcibly annex property without the owner's approval, and to get more resources to property owners affected by disasters. You can pick up a copy of the
Legislative Recap
in the GLAR office, or view online at TexasRealEstate.com/LegislativeRecap. Thank you Governmental Affairs Chair
Mark Wise,
Vice Chair
Connie Niedzwiecki
, TREPAC Chair
Brandy Jett
and TREPAC Vice Chair
Rosalie Bishop
for leading the way! If you would like to serve on the Governmental Affairs/TREPAC Committees, please contact director@glar.com.
Thank you to Education Chair Steve Etzel and Affiliate Attorney Kellie Stokes
for our upcoming 4th issue of
"Real Estate Pros in the Know" podcast - "Curative Items A Title Company Will Help Catch"
(probate, tax liens, mortgages, divorces, trusts, etc.).
The monthly podcasts are cataloged at www.glar.com and distributed to Members to use as a resource to educate their clients/contacts on real estate issues. REALTORS® know this community, know the city leaders, know the economic growth, and are EXPERTS about our town(s). They have the MOST accurate real estate information for living in this area. We want to ensure our community is aware. This 4th issue will be emailed the last day of June.

Our Community Services Committee is needing Members to help fill CCA 'Bags of Blessings'
in
July. Contact

David Hodges
has been a member of GLAR since 2006, and, a most EXCELLENT Affiliate he has been! He has Emcee'd, energized, arranged, advertised, planned, partied, decorated, and danced his way at every single event GLAR has held since he joined. He is known for his high spirits and giving attitude as is displayed by his serving on the Boards of Directors for GLAR, Rotary Club, FM Chamber of Commerce, Youth & Family Counseling, and the YMCA! In ALL his spare time, he can be caught out at the lake fishing with his family.
David is a Mortgage Lending Officer for Southside Bank, with offices in the immediate area of Flower Mound, Grapevine, and Las Colinas, but he can go anywhere in Texas. And, he will! This is the kind of professional that can and will help REALTORS
®
build their businesses and take ultimate care of their clients. Thank you, David, for giving back to all in such a huge way!

MLS & Membership Coordinator

Membership:
Per your Membership agreement, membership updates, including email, phone, home address, etc.
must be made in writing. Be sure to use the Member Info change form on the Forms tab of GLAR.com (Realtor column) or email melody@glar.com.
MLS Tip for July:
Coming Soon status is treated in MLS as an active listing, however not yet ready for showings. Keep in mind your seller should settle on a price BEFORE listing in put of any kind - even as coming soon - as
it will show as a price change rather than a new listing when updating status to Active.
