In this episode, we’re joined by Melissa Garza, ECAR’s Government Affairs Director, for an inside look at how public policy and real estate intersect. Melissa shares how ECAR advocates for REALTORS® and property owners at the local, state, and national levels — ensuring that laws and regulations support a strong, fair housing market.

From legislative updates to the importance of member involvement, Melissa breaks down the key issues shaping the future of real estate and highlights how every REALTOR® can play a role in protecting private property rights and promoting smart growth in our communities.

If you’ve ever wondered how advocacy impacts your business or how to make your voice heard, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
