Charting Our Course: NVAR’s Annual Legislative Blueprint
Each year, NVAR carefully develops a comprehensive Legislative Agenda through a collaborative process involving the Realtor® member public, our dedicated Public Policy Committee, and Board of Directors.
This strategic policy roadmap represents our commitment to addressing legislative challenges and opportunities locally and at the state level of government that impact real estate professionals, property owners, and our broader community.
2024 – 2025 NVAR Legislative Agenda
The Legislative Agenda is a critical blueprint identifying key policy priorities to protect property rights, promote fair real estate practices, review regulations, and ensure the continued strength of our professional community.

How We Build the NVAR Legislative Agenda
NVAR develops its Legislative Agenda every year by gathering and refining legislative and regulatory policy proposals with a thorough, member-driven process.
Each spring, committees, forums, and individual Realtors® submit issues to the NVAR Public Policy Committee, which researches and recommends relevant items for the final Legislative Program. After review by the Public Policy Committee and approval by the NVAR Board of Directors, the program is forwarded to the Virginia REALTORS® (VAR) for inclusion in statewide legislative priorities.
NVAR remains steadfast in its mission to protect and promote the real estate industry. As policies evolve, we continue to advocate for solutions that benefit both Realtors® and the communities they serve.
