THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA REALTORS® POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NV/RPAC) not only protects the real estate industry from laws and regulations that threaten Realtors®’ businesses – it is especially crucial for supporting advocacy efforts during challenging or unique circumstances such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NVAR government affairs team worked tirelessly to ensure the real estate business continued to be protected during the pandemic by:

• Urging Governor Ralph Northam to keep real estate businesses open under Executive Orders 53 and 55.
• Ensuring Clerks of Court offices remain open so transactions can move to closing.
• Hosting a webinar discussion on COVID-19 with Congressman Gerry Connolly and Fairfax County Chairman of the Board, Jeff McKay to help Realtors® understand potential impacts on Realtors® and the real estate marketplace.
• Following and reporting on the Governor’s action on Realtor® legislation passed during the 2020 Virginia legislative session.
