What does politics have to do with your real estate business? More than you might think.

James Hackman joins Miami and RWorld Talk to explain how decisions made at the local, state, and national levels can impact Realtors®, homeowners, and the real estate transactions they navigate every day.

From property rights and housing policies to down payment assistance, condo legislation, and commercial real estate, James shares why advocacy is an important part of the real estate profession.

We take a closer look at what RPAC does, how Realtor® leaders work with elected officials, and what actually happens during Great American Realtor Days in Tallahassee and Realtors® Legislative Meetings in Washington, D.C.

Plus, we discuss how the combined MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld organization is strengthening 
opportunities for members to engage in advocacy, build relationships with policymakers, and better understand the issues affecting their communities.

Whether you’re a Realtor® who’s already involved in advocacy or someone who’s never attended a government affairs meeting, this conversation offers a closer look at the work happening beyond the transaction.

What’s one issue affecting real estate or homeownership that you believe deserves more attention?
