Coaching For Real Estate Agents, Your Voice does Count!

Coaching For Real Estate Agents

Your voice does count!

Get involved! Get involved with your community and your government.

Real Estate Agents made an impact on bills being passed by the house and senate here in Florida.

Post your comments here about how Real Estate Agents are getting involved in your legislative process where you live.

We are dealing with property taxes in Florida that have gone through the roof. This has created a huge hardship on homeowners and business owners here in the state of Florida.

The House was going to get rid of the property taxes and then raise the sales tax by just a cent or two. Most homeowners supported this bill. Our sales tax is lower than many states and municipalities.

But then the Senate messed it all up and brought back something so convoluted and the legislature could not come to any terms everyone could agree on. Nothing new, in politics! They waste our money arguing over things that make no sense and then they don’t do what the people want!

As a Real Estate Agent, get involved, let your voice be heard. The NAR® is the largest member organization in the country with over 1.3 million members. If we all speak up, our voice will be heard. The NAR and your local state and community boards all work on government issues. A great way to serve is to get on one of these boards, write letters to your Congressman, Senate and House members, most important make sure you get out and VOTE!

There is a property tax crisis in most states of the union. Ask your clients what they want done about it. Sign petitions that you agree with that are going around your area.

Start a petition in your area to reform the property tax issue. Tell your governments to stop wasting our money.

There is a Real Estate agent who just got elected as a counsel woman to a local municipality. This is a great service to her profession as well as to her country and community. It also sets a great example of what you as a Real Estate agent can do to make a difference in the lives of others.
