Support for our Community, Government Affairs, and 2020 Leadership

Our Cobb Association of REALTORS® Membership Meeting brought virtually everything REALTORS® stand for to the table at the Olde Towne Athletic Club on Wednesday, October 16! 

We were pleased to welcome CEO Jinger Robins and Community & Resource Coordinator Anne Stuart of SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, an organization which serves to reduce the trauma to abused children and their families by offering comprehensive, professional, and child-friendly counselling and care.  We have supported SafePath for years, and this year, Affiliate Chair Lindsay Moss-Frangie and Golf Committee Member Chris Johnson were honored to present Jinger and Anne with a check for $5,000, which was raised through our Real Estate Expo and Golf Tournament Events. 

Our Guest Speaker was Brad Mock, Deputy Director of Government Affairs at the Georgia Association of REALTORS® (CAR) gave us an inside look into Georgia’s legislative activities, with an informative and wildly entertaining presentation called, “You Won’t Believe What’s Going On at the Golden Dome!”  In particular, Brad illuminated the progress being made on ensuring that exorbitant prices are not charged to sellers for HOA letters.  This should be resolved at the 2020 Legislative session early next year.
