Orlando Real Estate

I'm going back to Tally, Tally , Tally, I'm going back to Tally...(LL Cool J)

Once each year, thousands of Realtors® from across the state of Florida gather in Tallahassee to meet with our elected officials. People often complain about special interest groups weilding too much influence in government whether at the local, state or national level. Keep in mind that about 2/3 of America own their home, and the rest are tenants. Realtors® represent both buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants. Your interests are our interests. We stand for the preservation of property rights, fair tax treatment of property owners, quality of life and sustainable development.

We cannot tackle every issue, but some that are important are: schools, property taxes, insurance and here in Orlando transportation. I will be leaving for Tallahassee tomorrow morning bright and early and will spend the next two days, learning about the different aspects of these issues and sharing that with our local representatives. Your issues are our issues, and we may not always agree about the best way to address every issue but home buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants are alway at the heart of our discussions. Wish us luck in Tallahassee tomorrow and Wednesday.
