Be part of the Rally in Tally. Gather at the State Capitol during Great American Realtor Days and make a difference — because when Realtors talk, legislators listen.
Everyone wants to be heard, and Great American Realtor® Days is your chance for YOUR opinions to make a difference in the real estate business in Florida. It’s your chance to stand up for your profession and for homeowners across the state.

Held annually in the state Capitol, Great American Realtor Days, or as we like to call it, GARD, gives you the opportunity to travel to Tallahassee and shake hands and meet face-to-face with lawmakers before they weigh decisions that will impact how you do business.

Florida Realtors® 2025 Great American Realtor Days is scheduled for March 4-6.

You’ll be there to make sure our elected leaders have the right information before voting on legislation that could hurt your bottom line, threaten the growth of your business, or make it harder for Floridians to buy their dream homes or sell their properties.

Is something in a real estate transaction complicating the process unnecessarily?
Are escalating insurance premiums driving away buyers?
Does the water quality in your area impact your sales?
What about the taxes coming out of your pocket or the pockets of your clients, are they too high?
These are just a few examples of the issues state lawmakers might consider each year during the annual legislative session.

Your involvement in GARD makes sure the voices of Realtors and homebuyers and sellers are heard. Because your voice, our voice, the REALTOR voice matters.

Make plans to join us for this eye-opening and life-changing experience. Check with your local board to learn more about travel options for delegations.

Transportation to Tallahassee: Florida Realtors assists with transportation costs. If your association brings a bus to GARD, Florida Realtors will reimburse the association up to $1,000.

Join your peers to hear about issues that will impact REALTORS® and the North Carolina real estate industry. The meetings wrap up with Legislative Day at the General Assembly when hundreds of REALTORS® from across the state walk the halls of the legislature and talk to their elected representatives in the House and Senate. Registration is free.

Targeting local association executives in the Southeast, this annual event is a forum to share what is happening at the national and state levels and how issues and opportunities impact members at the local level. This event provides association executives, from CEOs to directors to managers, epic opportunities to network with their peers from other associations. Attendance at this event offers an estimated 16 hours of Professional Development Training that will count towards Core Standards requirements. The event is hosted by the NC REALTORS® and the Georgia REALTORS® and rotates between the two states.
