Tri-County Suburban REALTORS is excited to welcome hundreds of members to Springfield Country Club on October 22nd, 2025 for the most popular event of the year -  the Annual Membership Meeting. The afternoon promises to be one of networking, camaraderie, and a keynote speech from coach, entrepreneur, and emotional intelligence specialist, Regina Bryan. Bryan's mission is to help professionals unlock their greatest competitive advantage: themselves. With over a decade of experience in personal development, Bryan brings science-backed tools, compelling stories, and practical strategies that drive measurable results. Her talk,  "The YOU Factor,” is a dynamic, emotionally intelligent keynote designed specifically for REALTORS®. In a market where buyers and sellers aren’t just choosing homes—they’re choosing you—this session will show you how to elevate your presence, communication, and client relationships. 

Alongside Bryan, there will be an Affiliate Expo featuring over 15 vendors, door prizes, an induction ceremony of the 2025 REALTOR® Emeritus class, a recognition ceremony of the 2025 Leadership Development Program graduates, a recognition ceremony of the 2025 “Making a Difference: Community Service Awards”
winners, networking with fellow members, and more!

Lansdale Borough Council recently adopted Ordinance No. 2025-1989, amending the borough’s “Fire Prevention Code.” It establishes a registration requirement for unoccupied properties. Registration in the Unoccupied Property Registry will be required for “any building or structure that for six or more consecutive months is vacant or is not lawfully occupied or used for its accustomed and ordinary purpose.” The ordinance includes residential properties and defines exceptions to the definition of “unoccupied.” The registry takes effect on Jan. 1, 2026, and will be maintained by the borough fire marshal and code department. A separate Ordinance No. 2025-1990 will require the “Registration of Foreclosing Mortgaged Property” by mortgagees that file a foreclosure action.
