Your local and regional advocate and information resource to advance and protect private property rights and maintain a vibrant real estate market in the greater Twin Cities area.
Our local and regional government and community involvement enables the association to advocate for or against real estate related ordinances and regulations before they are approved or when an opportunity arises to amend a current ordinance or regulatory policy.
Public Affairs success encompasses three vital elements.
- Staff monitoring and lobbying real estate issues at the local and regional level.
- Grassroots member involvement including contacts with local and regional officials.
- Member contributions to the REALTOR® Political Action Committee. The PAC uses voluntary member contributions to provide financial assistance to local, state and federal candidates who listen to the needs of REALTORS® and America's property owners.

MAAR Infill Housing
Several cities have discussed ordinances or policies to regulate what property owners can do when tearing down an existing property and building a new structure on the site. Conflict often arises in neighborhoods when an owner decides to rebuild, especially if the new structure is larger than the previous house and not in context with other homes in the neighborhood.
