FOR OUR MEMBERS

ADVOCACY
The Oroville Association of REALTORS® (OAR) advocates for its members and clients at all levels of government. We support pro-REALTOR® candidates and legislation that protects private property rights, encourages homeownership, and fosters a strong economic environment. We also keep members informed about legislative changes and show them how to get involved.

REALTOR® ACTION FUND

What does the REALTOR® Action Fund do?
– Supports the passage of laws that benefit the real estate industry (i.e. the home buyer tax credit) and defeat laws that will harm the industry (i.e. eliminating mortgage interest deductions).
– Helps REALTOR®/business friendly candidates get elected to local, state and federal level offices.
– Helps the Oroville Association of REALTORS maintain strong working relationships with elected officials.
– Is non-partisan (neither Democrat nor Republican).  We are the REALTOR® Party!

Why is the REALTOR® Action Fund important?
Did you know that over 35% of all proposed legislation introduced in Sacramento impacts REALTORS®? That amounts to approximately 2,000 bills every year.

During the course of each congressional cycle, special interest groups never fail to propose new taxes, fees, and regulations that both raise the cost of doing business and reduce your earnings.  The only reason these bills do not pass more often is because legislators in Sacramento and Washington D.C., who understand the real issues behind these bills, stand up for your best interest.  The REALTOR® Action Fund is able to support these advocacy campaigns because of your generous donations.

You can affect the laws that the government enacts on your behalf, but only if you get involved.  The REALTOR® Action Fund supports legislators who initiate policies that will benefit you, your business, and your clients.  Nearly one-third of REALTORS® do their part to make the REALTOR® voice heard by contributing to the REALTOR® Action Fund.  We can do even better in 2014.
