Texas REALTORS® Emphasizes Real Estate Priorities in Address
Real Estate Priorities Showed Strong Presence in Governor's Speech
Texas REALTORS® applauds Governor Greg Abbott for spotlighting important real estate priorities during his State of the State address. These include significant concerns like boosting housing affordability, ongoing property tax reforms, enhancing vital community water infrastructure, and safeguarding private property rights.
The Governor's priorities align closely with the core objectives of Texas REALTORS® for the upcoming legislative session. Texas REALTORS® Chairman stated, "The Governor's acknowledgment of pressing real estate issues reflects the crucial role that housing and property rights play in our state. We appreciate his strong leadership on these important topics."
As Texas faces remarkable population and economic growth, addressing these pressing matters is vital to sustaining a robust real estate market and maintaining the state's top rankings. Governor Abbott's speech shed light on the critical issue of squatters, which poses a serious challenge for property owners. Supported overwhelmingly by association members throughout the state, Texas REALTORS® established a new policy position on squatters to protect property owners from criminal trespassers.
The Chairman further emphasized, "The policy priorities set forth by Texas REALTORS® resonate with all Texans, not just those within the real estate sector. Governor Abbott's commitment to these issues will reinforce Texas' reputation as a desirable place to live and work."
Texas REALTORS® eagerly anticipates collaboration with Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature to advocate for policies that support property owners, community growth, and the wider real estate community. The association is dedicated to ensuring that every Texan has the opportunity to realize the dream of homeownership while cultivating strong, flourishing communities.
