Description
The Advocacy Scoop is the only podcast that takes you inside the advocacy work of the National Association of REALTORS®. The Advocacy Scoop is dedicated to peeling back the curtain on the advocacy operation of the world's largest trade association. The real estate sector makes up nearly 20% of the entire U.S. economy, and NAR's advocacy work is critical for housing affordability and protecting private property rights. Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how NAR’s advocacy operation works, its many successes, and how the advocacy team is faring on some of NAR’s biggest legislative fights. Shannon and Patrick will also share insights on the 2024 Election, as well as stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

New year, new season, and new policy priorities for NAR’s advocacy team. Shannon and Patrick delve into the complicated world of tax reform and how Congress and the administration plan to tackle the expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). From Opportunity Zone incentives, to the SALT deduction, to protecting 1031 like-kind exchange, they discuss what’s on the table this year and what’s most important for REALTORS(R) and the fight for affordability, availability, and accessibility.
In the last episode of the season, Shannon and Patrick recap the extensive, yet captivating, list of Advocacy Wins for 2024. The fight for affordability, availability, and accessibility comes in many forms, and they detail the top wins in each of the five advocacy areas: legislative, policy, judicial, state and local, and political. Shannon also shares why she made space in her voicemail ahead of the election - and what her favorite episode was this season.
