Why Public Comment Matters for REALTORS®
Public comment is one of the most effective ways REALTORS® influence housing and land-use policy before decisions are made. Policymakers rely on written and oral testimony to understand how proposed regulations affect real properties, real transactions, and local housing markets.
The letters on this page reflect REALTOR® advocacy rooted in real-world experience, highlighting impacts on housing supply, affordability, ownership costs, and property rights. These insights help ensure policies are balanced, practical, and informed by those working directly in the market.
Public comment also becomes part of the official record, reviewed by decision-makers and courts. Consistent REALTOR® participation helps shape outcomes that support sustainable housing and a healthy real-estate market.
