Members of GHAR Participate in PA REALTORS® Day on the Hill

ENOLA, PA (June 5, 2024) – This morning, members of the Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS® (GHAR) took part in Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® Day on the Hill.

The GHAR delegation, including Tracee Carter, Jodi Diego, Nick Feagley, Michelle Gueci, Wendell Hoover, Jimmy Koury, Barb Murdocca, Kathy Ludwig, and Margaret Parsons, had productive meetings with several state legislators. They visited with Senators Greg Rothman and John DiSanto, and Representatives Perry Stambaugh, Dave Madsen, Justin Fleming, Patty Kim, Thomas Kutz, Sheryl Delozier, Dawn Keefer and Tom Mehaffie.

During these meetings, discussion centered around SB 1173, which will require a real estate salesperson license under the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (RELRA) to conduct residential wholesale transactions in the commonwealth. The legislation was passed by the Pennsylvania Senate on Tuesday and now heads to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for consideration.

GHAR extends its heartfelt thanks to all the state legislators who took the time to meet with our members. Their ongoing support and willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue are deeply appreciated. We appreciate the support you have given to the real estate industry.
