REALTORS® Are Good Neighbors: Sharing Stories of Service and Inspiration
During National Volunteer Month |

|
On average REALTORS® volunteer at nearly 3x the rate of the average American (NAR). Beyond National Volunteer Month, as a REALTOR®, giving back is part of who you are and what you do. From individual acts of kindness like making dinner for a neighbor in need, to spearheading a community-wide clean-up day. Share your REALTORS® Are Good Neighbors story to inspire your peers and neighbors to give back in ways big and small.
The Good Neighbor Awards is an annual program run by The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). It honors REALTORS® who make extraordinary contributions to their communities through volunteer work. These awards recognize those who are actively involved in making a positive impact in their neighborhoods and communities through various charitable and community service efforts.

Right by You: A Campaign Centered on Consumers, Guided by Realities for REALTORS® |
| |
|
On Monday, March 10, NAR’s latest consumer advertising campaign took center stage, reinforcing a decade-long message: working with a REALTOR® is essential. However, this new campaign speaks directly to the stresses of home buying, in a refreshing relatable light - highlighting how REALTORS® provide the guidance buyers need to navigate the market with confidence. In an era where property buying and selling is often oversimplified, the campaign directly addresses consumer misperceptions and the critical role REALTORS® play.
“Right by You,” highlights REALTORS®’ commitment and expertise, ensuring buyers make informed, confident choices. The campaign will roll out in two phases—first, showcasing the complexities of real estate transactions, and later, tapping into emotional storytelling to reinforce the REALTOR® value.

SRA: Questions Remain Over Draft Vacancy Ordinance in Lansdale
|
|
|
|
Lansdale Borough Council continues to debate a possible ordinance meant to address building vacancies, while local business owners are pressing for specifics and voicing concern about the proposed law. The town’s code committee has discussed a possible vacancy tax or fee meant to spur owners of vacancies to submit plans or sell, and in August voted to update the borough code to add a new “downtown core” area with new development options. In February, members of the code committee said a first draft of the code had been written and was up for further talks. The current draft would cover both residential and commercial properties, and would contain exceptions that could allow an owner to not pay the fee, including properties that are actively listed for sale; properties under active, ongoing rehabilitation or construction activities that have a current building permit; properties that have been damaged by fire; and single-family, owner-occupied residences where the owners are temporarily absent. Director of community development Jason Van Dame said, “This tool is not for your buildings that are well maintained, and taken care of. These are tools for the buildings that have an absentee landlord, someone that’s not responsive, someone not in the borough. This would be a tool for those properties we have challenges with.” For more information visit the Lansdale Borough website.
