Working on Many Fronts to Help Those in Need & Make Communities Strong |
Since Hurricanes Harvey and Irma made landfall, we have watched thousands of communities ravaged by wind, rain and rising floodwaters. It’s heartbreaking, for sure. While we may feel helpless to stop acts of nature, we are not powerless to protect and assist homeowners across the country.

Ohio REALTORS® Achieve Double Legislative Victory on the Tax Front |
Because an Ohio law required businesses and individuals to file taxes in every jurisdiction where they'd earned income, most Ohio REALTORS® faced a costly and time-consuming administrative burden at tax time. But all that is about to change thanks to an Issues Mobilization Grant, which helped secure a streamlined income tax filing system, and defeat a threatened tax on professional services. |
