 HISTORIC HOUSING WINS
2023 Legislative Session Recap
The 2023 Washington State Legislature adjourned Sine Die on April 23. Washington REALTORS® entered the session with a lengthy to-do list, asking the Legislature to update and correct several real estate brokerage issues, and to make this session the year of housing policy. It is well known that Washington State ranks last in the number of housing units per family nationally, and the dream of homeownership has been moving farther out of reach for many families in our state. To urge the Legislature to address the housing crisis, Washington REALTORS® formed a partnership with Amazon and created the “Welcome Home” campaign, which prompted thousands of our members and consumers to reach out to Legislators, asking them to back REALTOR® prioritized bills.
 
Thanks to the constant advocacy of your Washington REALTORS® Legislative Team during this session, bills have been passed that will benefit your business, future clients who are on the verge of becoming homeowners, and those in desperate need of affordable housing solutions.

Be Good with your Signs
Message #2 – Offending Behavior

If you post a listing sign off your listed property, post more than one sign, or leave them up long after your listing sells, you risk a fine by code enforcement.

The laws are different, depending on the location of your listing. Find out more with this handy resource.
Be good with your signs.
