IAR Fun Fact:
Why did REALTORS® at the time decide to form a statewide association?
Answer:
Some of the main reasons:
- A growing concern over rising property taxes
- Adoption of a tax amendment in Illinois
- Enforcement of the Code of Ethics
- Promotion of good roads
- Desire to create a license law
- Securing legislation requiring an exam for those entering the real estate professional and payment of a fee
