About Us

What does the Alliance do?

The mission of the Suburban REALTORS Alliance is to impact public policy for the benefit of real estate and the protection of private property rights. We work to create a healthy climate for housing, our industry and the real estate consumers we serve. The Alliance is a resource for our shareholder members, local governments and elected officials, and consumers represented by our REALTOR members.

In general, our members support real estate laws and regulations that:

• protect fundamental property rights
• promote uniformity in local standards and consistency in enforcement
• avoid unnecessary duplication of existing fees, statutes or regulations.

SRA staff and members interact with state and local governments, elected officials, community groups and other interested parties. Our members focus on getting involved with their elected officials and municipal governments at the local level — in the communities where they live, work and vote. 

What are some of the Alliance's key issues?

As a liaison between public officials and the real estate industry, we work to build our communities and ensure the availability of safe and affordable housing for all residents. Issues of special interest to our members at the local level include:

• use and occupancy inspections and associated fees
• property assessment procedures
• professional disclosure
• sign use
• land use
• rental property licensure
• quality of life issues that impact small business owners
• and other real estate-related ordinances
