May will soon be upon us, and that means Legislative Day 2013 and the Mid-Year Luncheon are just around the corner.  Legislative Day is an opportunity for REALTORS® from across California to meet with their state legislators to discuss the issues that affect the real estate industry.  Attending Legislative Day is not only a great investment in your business, it also provides you with an opportunity to hear from the state’s most dynamic political leaders and the leadership of your state association.  We’ve invited California Gov. Jerry Brown to speak, and we’ll march to the south lawn of the Capitol for a group photo.  Please plan to attend Legislative Day on Wed., May 1, at the Sacramento Convention Center.  Watch our 2013 Legislation Day video to learn more and visit here for complete details.

While you’re in Sacramento, you’ll want to attend the Mid-Year Luncheon.  This year’s luncheon features a special presentation hosted by C.A.R. CEO Joel Singer on Thursday, May 2, at the Sacramento Convention Center.  In his presentation, “New Realities: The Rules Have Changed,” Singer will discuss timely issues that impact your business, such as where the distressed market is headed, tight inventory concerns, the demographics of homeownership, why it’s still a great time to buy, and more.  Luncheon tickets are available for purchase at the discounted pre-registration price of $55 through Friday, April 26.  Tickets may be available on-site at the registration booth for $65; however, this event is expected to sell out.  REGISTER TODAY AND SAVE $10For more information and to purchase luncheon tickets.
