Washington Realtors Meeting In Olympia




Rich Bergdahl
Olympia, last week.

Honored to be at the State Capitol in Olympia last week for Washington REALTORS (WR) Hill Day with RE/MAX NORTHWEST colleagues 

• Jerry Martin (2015 WR Treasurer) and 
• Karen Schweinfurth (2016 WR President)

to meet personally with State Senators and Representatives to discuss the Budget and, once again, the lack of funding thereof for the Education and Transportation needs of the State.
The deficit will be filled, have no doubt, with new taxes. Washington REALTORS are there to make sure they do not fall disproportionately on the services you provide ... er, your career!
Your REALTOR dues and REALTOR Political Action Committee (RPAC) investment dollars hard at work ... so we all can sleep a little better at night.
REALTORS ... carrying the water and doing the heavy lifting to protect Real Property interests, right and the Quality of Life in your neighborhood and community through active and effective political involvement locally, in Olympia and Washington DC.

Know and active and involved REALTOR?

Give 'em a Hug.
Volunteer work ... hard, important, vital, thankless. The Good Work.

They are here for You.
