PAR’s annual Government Affairs Seminar culminated Wednesday as REALTORS® marched on Capitol Hill to meet with state lawmakers to voice their opposition to the proposed sales tax on professional services, including those on real estate transactions. Following PAR’s press conference in the Capitol Rotunda, nearly 100 REALTORS® met with 30 senators and representatives.

Jale and Karlene,
Thank you for your interest in this important legislative issue. We’re carefully considering our course of action right now and will be asking members to take part when we can move out as an organization. Please continue to follow the issue on PAR JustListed which will relay if Government Affairs issues a Call-to-Action. At that time, we would welcome and encourage you to send a letter to your state senator or representative, expressing PAR’s belief that taxing professional services involved in the home-buying and -selling process will reduce demand for housing, something Pennsylvania can ill afford. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks again,
Kim
Hi Kim,
For those of us who are not able to be at the the Capitol, is it possible to create a an e-mail format addressed to the Governer and/ or our State Law Makers?
Thanks,
