Impact

The resolution highlights the significant role of the Georgia Association of REALTORS® in addressing issues related to real estate practices, such as home ownership facilitation and education for real estate professionals. By recognizing this day, the legislature emphasizes the importance of the real estate sector to the state's economy and the ongoing education and advocacy efforts provided by the association.

Summary

House Resolution 1001, sponsored by Representative Washburn, commemorates the Georgia Association of REALTORS® and designates February 8, 2024, as REALTOR® Day at the Dome. This resolution honors the contributions of the association to the citizens of Georgia, particularly in advocating for private property rights over the past century. The event is expected to gather over 1,000 REALTORS® at the state capitol, serving as a platform to celebrate their professional achievements and ongoing commitment to the real estate industry in Georgia.

Contention

While House Resolution 1001 generally has a celebratory nature and does not propose any legislative changes, it reflects the larger discussions surrounding property rights and the real estate market in Georgia. There is often contention surrounding issues of housing affordability and regulations in the real estate sector, which the REALTORS® association actively navigates. The acknowledgment of REALTOR® Day serves not only to celebrate the accomplishments of its members but also to reinforce their influence and advocacy on behalf of property rights in the state.
