Legislative "Bus-In" Hill Visits

February 21, 2012

Mark your calendar for this year's Legislative Bus-In day, scheduled for February 21, 2012. This event brings hundreds of REALTORS® to Des Moines to meet with legislators and discuss important real estate issues.

The legislature needs to hear from REALTORS® regarding the issues that are important to real estate and important to keep the real estate industry a vibrant piece of Iowa's economy.

This event is FREE for REALTORS® and includes bus transportation from "hubs" around the state, as well as food and drink while in Des Moines.

Join us for lunch to hear from Jeff Robinson of the Legislative Services Agency talk about taxes and its effect on real estate.

This event is critical to our legislative success in the coming year and has become one of the largest political action events for the Iowa legislature.

Don't Believe in Political Action?

FINE.

When they . . . . . .

  • eliminate the mortgage interest deduction and
  • raise property taxes and
  • tax your commission and
  • increase your liability . . . .

You will ask, “Where was IAR?”

And we will reply, “Where were you?”


We need YOU at this event...
Don't leave it up to somebody else.

Real estate is your livelihood.
Is one day too much to invest
in the future of your career?
