Yes, if it was something relevant such as "Realtors for a FREE Crimea" expression.

Yes, several times. Our is usually in the first couple of months of the year depending on the schedule of the legislative sessions. It's an interesting experience that I think everyone should experience at least once.

My local association has tried to get me to go a few times, but I have politely refused. Since I dislike most of the people in our state's government, especially Boxer and Feinstein, but also the governor and our county reps, I doubt I will be going any time soon.

I used to attend Leg Day at the Sacramento State Capital each year. I found it exciting to sit among many Realtors from around the State in the Convention Center and listen to the presentations of Governors or prominent lawmakers. We would also visit our local representatives and discuss relevant real estate issues. A lunch was also hosted on a geographic basis and one or more or our local representatives were invited. We finished with a reception attended by many Realtors and lawmakers. A day well spent!
Now…I don’t seem to find the time to attend.

Some of the replies to this are extremely disappointing. We here in the greatest state of California are the largest trade group to visit the capitol in Sacramento. We do it in late May and bring in 5,000 Realtors to march on the Capitol. Legislators will make deals with our head lobbyist once they see the strenght of our numbers. Here in California we are faced with increasing threats of "rent-control" in many communities. We had a vote last year and due to NAR and CAR financial support we beat it down. Now we have another ordinance on the ballot for November as well as an initiative to knock down "Costa-Hawkins" which allows for NO rent control in units build after 1995. If these two are passed it will have a devastating effect on investment properties. We are fighting at the state level to make sure it doesn't happen. Many of you think it is a total waste of time. When a 7 person tribunal of renters decide you can't take your rental off the market without paying 6 months rent to your tenant and the tenant has the FINAL say! You might get more involved! I have investor clients/friends who lost their homes in the fire. One area was 40% rentals. If they rebuilt their rentals, now having a brand new home, with rent control they'll be looking at a rent roll based on rents in October 8, 2017 or one day before the fires. So the rent they had been getting for a 30 year home will be the same for a brand new rental! Wake up and smell the coffee!
