Commercial Leg/Reg Subcommittee
Met In Early February
The major objective of the
meeting was to set 2010 goals
for NAR Commercial. Prime among
them is to conduct Congressional
Roundtable meetings. Several
meetings have been held to keep
Representatives aware of
commercial real estate market
issues – especially liquidity
for loans; more in-district
meetings are scheduled. Are
your members constituents of a
House Financial Services
Committee member? View the list
of committee members today and
contact your Association's
Government Affairs Director to
inquire about arranging your own
commercial real estate
roundtable meeting.

Results of the 2010 Real Estate

hiring needs and total
compensation packages are headed
in 2010?
