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.

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?
