74 CONSTRUCTION LAS VEGAS ASSOCIATION PROFILES e Nevada Association of Realtors represents the more than 13,000 Re- altors working throughout the state. NVAR provides a wide range of services to its members, includ- ing operating a legal information hotline for Realtors. e association also holds regular meetings for its board of directors and members and supports events and programs related to real estate, the housing market and related issues. As part of its mission, NVAR works with state and local govern- ment leaders to advocate for the interests of its members, to provide useful information, to help shape public policy and to protect private property rights. As a recent example, NVAR is part of a statewide coalition of lead- ing businesses, citizens, community and industry organizations working to oppose Question 3 in the Nov. 4 general election in Nevada because the association and its members believe the so-called margin tax the ballot question would create would be detrimental to Nevada. NVAR is encouraging its members and all Nevadans to vote against this ballot question. " e Nevada Association of Realtors supports e orts to im- prove education," explained NVAR President Kolleen Kelley, a longtime Las Vegas Realtor. "Some of the rst questions prospective home buyers ask about our great state are about our education system and school districts. Funding is always a factor in improving education, and so are systemic reforms. NVAR is part of the coalition ghting Question 3, the Education Initiative, because we believe that it's a awed and unfair tax that will contribute to job losses in Nevada, and more importantly, adversely and unfairly impact many real estate brokerages in Nevada. Question 3 is not the answer to this issue." NEVADA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS nvar.org 760 Margrave Drive, No. 200 Reno, NV 89502 800-748-5526
