Call For Action

As you are aware, NAR has a current Call for Action asking REALTORS® to encourage senators to keep the mortgage interest deduction, property tax deduction, and other important real estate provisions intact when they consider federal tax reform this fall. Tax Reform is underway on Capitol Hill. The Senate has adopted a “Blank Slate” approach that initially eliminates every provision in the tax code, including those that encourage real estate ownership and investment.
As of today's date, 18% of the Washington County Board of REALTORS® Members have contacted their elected leaders with the encouragement to DO NO HARM.  This issue is so critically important for the ongoing economic recovery which is fueled in large part to a housing recovery that we are now personally asking for your assistance and support.  The process is incredibly easy and will take less than 60 seconds to complete.
Simply follow the link provided. Under the banner TAX REFORM SHOULD DO NO HARM, click on "I want to take action."
Our goal is at least a 50% response from the WCBR membership before July 31st.  The time is NOW!
