Join the Campaign Against Point of Sale

Homeownership is the American dream and key to building community pride, engagement, and generational wealth. Recent studies show that point of sale inspections can be a barrier to homeownership and often negatively impacts the local community. If you agree that it is time for Point of Sale inspections to be sunset, join our efforts by completing the form below. Your contact information will be protected and not shared publicly.

Advocacy & Outreach

The Akron Cleveland Association of REALTORS® has long committed staff and resources for governmental affairs. We believe advocacy and lobby efforts are essential to protecting our profession and the environment in which we work in.

While our staff and committed volunteers do a superb job of keeping track of upcoming legislation that may affect the real estate industry, we occasionally receive tips from members who are not generally involved with our government affairs activities but have encountered issues that need to be addressed by ACAR.

If you encounter legislation that could possibly affect our industry, whether good or bad, please contact our Government Affairs Department:

Jamie McMillen - (216) 525-4834.
